- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,February 24 2022]
Actress Kirti Kulhari has been doing a really great job in the OTT entertainment space lately. She was recently seen playing a doctor in the Disney+ Hotstar's medical drama 'Human'. In a recent media interaction, Kirti shared that this was the role that made her most proud. She also stated that her character being homosexual only added layers to its complexity. It was a special role for me. It is the first time I represented the community. I was game right from the word go. Yes, but for this I had to do a lot of research, said the actress.
Sharing how she prepped for the part, Kirti said, I spoke with the people from the homosexual community and learnt about their challenges. I also spoke to a psychologist. It was a very emotional journey. I really wondered how claustrophobic it must be to hide from yourself and be in denial. Imagine living your whole life not being accepted by your most loved people in the world like parents.”
Kirti concluded by saying, This character was definitely most complex. There were a lot of layers to it. But I usually get moved by all the characters that I play...Since it was a series we got the opportunity to elaborate the idea. It was not on the surface. It wasn’t thrown in your face.”
