“I didn’t have to use glycerine, tears would come on their own”: Upasana Singh on doing Masoom

Masoom stars Upasana Singh, Boman Irani, and Samara Tijori. Set in Falauli, Punjab, the series will reveal the unspoken truths that haunt the Kapoor family’s lives, where complex relationship dynamics shift with each episode.The six-part series premieres on June 17.

Upasana Singh, who has worked on numerous projects and has given commendable performances, will be seen playing the role of Gunwant.

Speaking about her role Upasana Singh said, “This is a very serious role, and for actors to do such characters they need to go to the depth of it. I guess for me it wasn’t that difficult because I come from a theatre background and I have done such roles in the past. Whenever I do something like this, I do it with my heart. Masoom is a series where I didn’t have to use glycerine. I was so indulged in my dialogues that tears would come on their own, whether it is first shot or 7th, because sometimes if there is a scene of sorrow or something like that, the actors would use glycerine but with Gunwant’s character it was different. I could feel that role so much that tears would come on their own, and as I said before my body doesn’t work in the show, so whenever my shot was over or we had a cut, it would take me some time to come out my character and then shake my hand or move my legs to feel that they move.”

Masoom, directed by Mihir Desai and showrunner Gurmmeet Singh, is an Indian adaptation of the award-winning Irish series Blood, exploring family ties and deception after the death of a loved one.
