Television actor Roop Durgapal, who is going to make her debut in the web space with Prakash Jha's Sankalp starring Nana Patekar, Sanjay Kapoor, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kranti Prakash Jha and Meghna Malik, has said that working alongside such talented names was like educating herself about various aspects of acting.

Sharing more on the series and her role, Durgapal said, "The stellar cast is one of the vital reasons that I was excited to join the show. When everyone has had a fabulous body of work, you know there will be a lot of learning on sets and off it as well."

"Just being around Nana Patekar sir, Prakash sir was like educating myself about various aspects of acting, making and even life as a whole. There was so much to learn from Meghna Malik ma'am as well, we bonded during lunches and dinners too. Such a fabulous actor, great human being."

Durgapal plays Madhuri, the wife of actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub's character. Speaking about her co-star, Durgapal said, "Zeeshan is a fabulous co-actor, coming from NSD and having done so much work in films and web space, there was so much to learn from him. His measured approach to scenes, command of language and fab energy were so helpful during our scenes together. I was looking forward to the set every day."

Durgapal was rehearsing for a play when she learned about the Sankalp audition. "I think till 2019, I hadn't given it a thought to go beyond TV, it's when Covid struck, and our lives changed, I saw people passing away, that I had a realisation that life is short, unpredictable. I felt like experimenting and doing things that scared me... theatre being one of them." "The idea of having no cuts, no retakes, and month-long rehearsals was alien to me and scary. But the realisation of life's uncertainty gave me the strength to take a plunge. I did theatre, it was an amazingly satisfying journey to be on stage and not fumble. It gave me the courage to explore beyond TV and venture into the web. I think everything happens in its own time and everyone's journey is different. Mine was meant to happen this way. I am very happy with the way it happened organically."IANS
