'ACTING IS LIKE PLAYING A SPORT'

Shweta Tripathi Sharma counts Ali Fazal, Vicky Kaushal and Vijay Varma among her favourite co-stars

What is common between Ali Fazal, Vijay Varma and Vicky Kaushal? It's 'Mirzapur' star Shweta Tripathi, who counts the three actors among her favourite co-stars with whom acting becomes a sport.

While she starred with Kaushal in her feature film breakthrough 'Masaan' (2015), the actress shares screen space with Fazal and Varma in the super-hit web series 'Mirzapur'. Tripathi also praised her 'Gone Kesh' co-star Jitendra Kumar and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who worked with the actor in 'Haraamkhor'.

"Working with Nawaz bhai was like a workshop - the way he talked, the way he respected me. My favourites are Ali Fazal, Vicky, Jitu and Vijay Varma and it's fun because acting is actually like playing a sport. Whatever you get, it's fun to do batting or bowling," she told the top news agency.

Tripathi also admires Alia Bhatt, Konkona Sen Sharma, Tabu and Ratna Pathak Shah.

"I love Alia Bhatt. I think she is daring. She is at it non-stop. She will do 'Humpty Sharma'. She will also do 'Jigra' and she is doing that very right. She does commercial work and the popular and she always delivers. I find her inspiring and I obviously love Konkona and Tabu ma'am and Ratna Pathak Shah."
