Amrita Puri, who has featured in movies like Aisha (2010) and Kai Po Che (2013), will debut on TV as Charulata, in an episode of Anurag Basu's show, which is an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's novel by the same name. Says the actress, “Being a literature student, I was excited to be offered the role. Tagore's work is a legacy and part of history. His stories are woman-centric and progressive and Charulata is one such beautiful story.“

How did she groom herself for the part? “I am a method actor and like to delve into the character. However, Anurag works differently. He is spontaneous and goes with the flow. I had to unlearn all I knew to work according to him,“ she says. And didn't the actress feel it's too early for her to step into TV? “For me, the medium is secondary as content is key. Utmost creative satisfaction is derived from content. That's how I choose my projects. Also, the reach of television is greater than any other medium. It's a two-three episode story and suits my schedule,“ she answers.
