Noted small screen actress Tisha has built a remarkable career that also spans a few films. Her most recent film venture “Doob” is slated for release on October 27. The Daily Star reached out to the artiste in a recent interview on her aspirations for the film, and other works.

What are your expectations from “Doob”?

Tisha: I have great expectations and I feel the audience will find the narrative compelling. I had a strong feeling since the beginning of shooting that we were making something wonderful here and that feeling has not changed after its production.

What challenges did you encounter to embody your role?

Tisha: I play a woman named Saberi, whose heart is full of pain, but puts up a brave front in front of the world. One of the main challenges was the countless opportunities in portraying Saberi, until I had found one that just fit.

What is the main focus of the film's narrative?

Tisha: The film revolves around human relationships, and the complexities of feelings and thoughts surrounding them.

What was it like to work with the internationally renowned Irrfan Khan?

Tisha: The experience was truly one in a million. His work is globally known and appreciated, but as a person he is very friendly. He approaches his work with utmost professionalism, and I learned a lot from him on the sets.

You have recently returned after promoting “Doob” abroad. How was the film received by the international community?

Tisha: First of all, “Doob” is not filmed in their language, and so it had to be screened with subtitles. The film was received well everywhere it was shown, and Farooki and I had a chance to interact with viewers personally, and the responses have been very positive.

What preparations will you take for the film's screening in Bangladesh?

Tisha: It is already underway; from October 18-27 the “Doob” team has been touring various colleges and universities in the country. We will also give time for television and newspaper interviews. We have planned quite a few things to ensure the film is promoted well in Bangladesh.

And finally, what are your aspirations regarding film?

Tisha: I identify myself as an actress, whether it is on the small or big screen. I give my best to every role I play, and it doesn't matter what the size of the venture is. However, I would like to see myself working in good films in the future.
