Bollywood actress Kajol, who is awaiting the release of the upcoming season of her hit streaming show ‘The Trial’, shared the trick behind her pitch-perfect portrayals of characters in a career spanning more than three decades and counting.
In her career, the actress has essayed many challenging parts, but she feels that a good director and a set of great co-actors make her work easier and more polished. In ‘The Trial’, she essays the role of Noyonika Sengupta.
Kajol, who spoke with IANS during the promotional run of ‘The Trial’ season two, said, “I think the trick to it is to find and to get a good director on board, which I did have. To get great co-stars as well, again, which I did have in this show. Most importantly, I think it’s got to do with how you see your arc. And a person is always a whole person with their flaws.”
She told IANS, “There is never just one good side or just a bad side or only the grey area in a human being. There are always all three parts of that person combined. So, whichever scene we do, I try, hopefully, to keep all of those parts in mind when I’m portraying Noyonika.”
‘The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha’ is a format of the original US series ‘The Good Wife’, which was produced by ‘CBS Studios’ in association with ‘Scott Free Productions’ and ‘King Size Productions’, with the format rights licensed by ‘Paramount Global Content Distribution’.
Directed by Umesh Bist and produced by ‘Banijay Asia’, the series also stars Jisshu Sengupta, Sonali Kulkarni, Sheeba Chadha, Alyy Khan, Kubbra Sait, Gaurav Pandey and Karanvir Sharma, promising a powerful and unforgettable new chapter in Noyonika’s story.
‘The Trial’ S2 is set to release on ‘JioHotstar’ on September 19, 2025.
