I want to do my best, flourish and be recognized as an excellent performer,” she says. She believes an actor should pick up or reject a project as per their individual choice and not be worried about the outcome.

“You need to know what you want and what you don’t want to do, once you have that vision clear then nothing is against you. You have to be wise enough to choose your projects as per your priorities, it can be tricky sometimes if it’s a battle between survival vs career,” she says, adding she likes to play tough and strong women characters.

Talking about her process of getting into the skin a character, Khatija says, she likes to bring her own take and nuances to a character, however at the same time she is also director’s actor.

For Khatija it is not easy to get in and out of a character. “It takes me time and a million questions to reach there but I eventually do. I admire theatre actors as they can switch on and off in any minute,” he adds.

The actor, who has acted across all mediums – film, web and TV, says she has learnt lessons from her own mistakes. Sharing a piece of advice for newcomers, Khatija says they must remain focused and keep working hard.

“As an outsider it all seemed fascinating to me and I have made terrible choices but I have learnt and now I know what I want! Maybe god wants you to learn that way so you never ever make foolish choices,” she adds.

“Read, research, practice, everything is online, all the information needed is available. Just remain focused and keep working hard. Keep a small group of friends but make sure they are the right friends,” she suggests.

A digital spin-off of the popular television show Jamai Raja, the first season of Jamai 2.0 aired in 2019. The thriller returned with its much-awaited sequel on February 26 with Prakhar Toshniwal essaying the role of DD’s son and Roshini’s brother Ajit Patel, who was introduced as the plot’s central character in the first season. The sequel revolves around Ajit Patel as Sid determines to find him and seek revenge for his sister’s murder.

Within a week of its release, the show has received fantastic reviews from across the country with special mentions for the cast pouring in from social media and elsewhere. Jamai Raja 2.0 Season 2 assures the viewers are glued to the screens until the very last scene of the season. Talking about his character, Prakhar says “Ajit Patel is the most layered character I’ve ever portrayed on screen until now. Imagine an innocent guy having been locked down for 10 years for no fault of his. He is a personification of loneliness, guilt and unpredictability. All he wants from life is freedom.”

Prakhar also talks about his entrée into this star-studded show with many of the well known TV and film actors being part of the revenge saga. “Performing alongside such an experienced star cast was an absolute delight. When I went to the sets, I thought nobody would even care. But it was just the opposite. Their humility and attitude towards me just notched up my performance. I never felt out of place. On the other hand, I knew that I could be easily overshadowed with their performances, and the only way to shine was by delivering a good performance myself. It kept me on toes all the time.”
