Mumbai: There are many who want to look hot and sensuous at all times. But this cannot be said for actress Flora Saini. She recently appeared in the web film Darbaan. In the film Flora Saini departed from her usual oomphy image to play a homemaker of a rich family. Flora said she is bored of being sensuous on screen. She asserted that she wants to prove her versatility.
“It is always the script that chooses the actors. I am proud of the work I have done but I am trying to get out of the image I have. There are times when we do some work that resonate with people. They cannot see you doing anything else. I am saying ‘no’ to many offers because most of the time they want to cast an actress who looks ‘sexy’ on screen. I have also done a film called Stree in which I looked ugly, as I played a churail (witch). That says I want to do different work. But post the show Gandii Baat, I keep getting the same kind of roles,” Flora said.
The actress is known for her steamy on-screen image in web series like Gandii Baat, XXX, and Dupur Thakurpo, to name a few.
“I take it as a compliment when people call me sexy but I am bored of looking sensual on screen! That way, I would say that Darbaan is different and it came at the right time. I treasure it,” Flora added.
Flora has a strong fan following on social media platforms, especially Instagram. She mentioned her follower count often goes up or down depending on the picture she posts.
“When I put out a picture in a sari, I see the followers go down. Then I put out a picture in which I am looking sensual and I see the number of followers increase. This is crazy,” shared Flora.
Darbaan, directed by Bipin Nadkarni, features Sharib Hashmi, Sharad Kelkar, Rasika Dugal in pivotal roles, and streams on ‘Zee5’.
