Anupriya Goenka talks about her show Khoj, reveals why she isn't a part of War 2: 'They weren't able to...' | Exclusive

Anupriya Goenka has impressed the audiences with her sincere performances in shows and series like Padmaavat, Tiger Zinda Hai, Asur, and Criminal Justice among others. The actress is now earning praises for her role as a mysterious woman named Meera in her most recent web series Khoj - Parchaiyo Ke Uss Paar, a suspense thriller which premiered on ZEE5 on December 27.

In a freewheeling conversation with DNA, Anupriya opened up on sharing screen with Sharib Hashmi in Khoj. "Sharib is a dear friend and we have worked together in Asur earlier. So, it was really comfortable to work with him and we had loads of fun on this one. Though it was an intense shoot and we had a lot to do it very little time, we had a rollercoaster time on the sets", the actress shared.

Talking about what was the biggest reason for her to be a part of Khoj, Anupriya said, "It was a combination of multiple reasons. One being that I liked the concept and I liked my role because there was a lot of mystery attached to it. Meera, as a character is very docile and vulnerable because she is trying to get her husband to accept her. She is being a victim and sometimes, it feels that she is the one who is victimising Ved (her husband in the show played by Sharib). There are so many layers attached to her, I think that is what made me primarily sign up. Also, Sharib is a part of it and I have always loved collaborating with ZEE5. So it was a combination of reasons. There is no single reason why I shouldn't have done it."

Anupriya played a pivotal supporting character in the 2019 action thriller War, that featured Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Now, War 2 is slated to release on August 15 next year coinciding with the Independence Day 2025. When asked if she will be a part of the sequel as well, the actress replied, "Unfortunately, I am not in War 2. They weren't able to revive my character without compromising on it and weren't able to do justice to my character (in the sequel). I hope to be a part of the future segments."
