#NewsBytesExclusive: 'Never saw Purva as negative character,' says Anchal Singh
Meet Anchal Singh, the rising star from 'Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein'

The recent Netflix Original, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, has emerged as one of the top OTT releases in 2022. The Sidharth Sengupta-directorial impressed viewers and critics alike and is returning for a season two. The show also introduced us to actor Anchal Singh, who played a dark character named Purva. While talking to NewsBytes, Singh shares if she was apprehensive about playing her.

Story
Purva's character kickstarts tale of misfortune in Vikrant's life

For context, Purva is the only daughter of the regional political head and is deeply in love with Vikrant (Tahir Raj Bhasin), who loves Shikha (Shweta Tripathi Sharma). Purva's years-long obsession with the hapless Vikrant tumbles his life upside down along with that of his loved ones. Singh has been receiving a lot of appreciation for portraying the negative character with elegance and panache.

POV
'Difficult to point fingers at Purva, call her a b***h'

But Singh told NewsBytes she never saw Purva as "a negative character." She said, "I have no problems taking up challenging characters, but it's very important... to know why that character is behaving a certain way." "Purva is such a well-written character," she said, "It's so beautifully layered that it's difficult to point a finger at her... and say 'you're a bad b***h.'"

Quote
'Ladki buri nahi hai,' says Singh on Purva

This tonality of the character comes from instances of her "innocence" highlighted by the makers, Singh opined. "You do understand there's this woman who's deeply, passionately in love with a man to the extent that she loses rationality," she said. "Ladki buri nahi hai (She's not a bad girl)," the actor noted, adding that it was this complexity that drew her to the role.

Root
Singh once wanted to pursue civil services/working at UN

Singh—who has starred in 300-400 commercial ads—always found the "power of an artist to bring a smile on somebody's face beautiful" and knew acting was her calling. Yet, for a long time, the Sri Siddhartha Gautama actor was too shy to admit she wanted this. In fact, she earlier had her eyes set on civil services and working at the United Nations.

Experience
Singh would love to work in Tamil films again but...

Having worked in multiple film industries, Singh hasn't been able to forget one experience. While she was grateful to be part of the Tamil horror-comedy Dhilluku Dhuddu, she often found herself "in a fix" when her dialogues got changed on the set repeatedly, not giving her the time to learn the language/prepare the delivery. She expects mutual respect from the crew in upcoming projects.
