You play Maya Roy in the movie The President Is Coming, an academic and Bengali intellectual snob. Surely you know the type?
Yaaaa, of course, I have met some insufferable people like that!
What was it about the character then that attracted you?
Actually, it wasn't so much the character. When I read the script as a whole, I hadn't come across anything funnier. When (producer) Rohan Sippy approached me with the film, I asked for the script or a narration, but he said, 'Come for a reading.' They just handed me the script and asked me to read. That was my first narration.
It was so funny, I had to stop and laugh. I'm so glad that these kind of experimental films are being made I've not seen too many mockumentaries being made here. I'm glad their production house does a Chandni Chowk To China as well as The President Is Coming. It's healthy to have different kinds of films.
