Cosmo: Tell us about your debut film, Suttabaazi. Renee Sen: “Suttabaazi was an impromptu decision. The director, Kabeer Khurana, is a school friend, and he sent me the script and wanted me to audition for it. I read the story and really liked it. Also, being a part of this 15-minute film gave me a realistic idea of how things would be in a mainstream production. It is a small step, but a very important one.”
C: Tell us about your character in the film...
RS: “I play Diya, a 19-year-old girl who is really just seeking validation. It is a very relatable character, and I feel everyone would love it as, somewhere, there’s a Diya in all of us.”
C: Do you want to be an actor, or is this a one-off project?
RS: “No, it is definitely not a one-off project. I want to be an actor. And acting, for me, is a process—I want to do it step-by-step so that I can grow both as a person and as an artist.”
C: If not an actor, what would you have wanted to be?
RS: “I am currently studying psychology, so maybe a psychologist. But I haven’t limited my aspirations to any one particular thing. I may want to enroll in a flying school tomorrow and become a pilot. Or, decide to become a chef. I am open to anything. To be honest, acting is the only passion goal I have in life; other than that, I’d like to be whatever I want to be at that point in time.”
C: What are some hobbies you like to dabble in?
RS: “I love to sing and dance. I am formally training in Kathak, and have learnt Indian classical music as well. And I do riyaaz regularly.”
