Bollywood and Television actress Aamna Sharif has been missing from the screen after her last appearance as Komolika in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2. The actress took a year of sabbatical and is now back with the upcoming web show Damaged season 3. Speaking of choosing this web show Aamna said, “As soon as I heard the script, I knew I am doing this. It is one of the roles that I have always wanted to play. It is opposite to what I have done so far. As an actor you need to be versatile, shock audiences with your performances, which only comes with something that is not in your comfort zone. This character was definitely not in my comfort zone. It is drastically opposite to who I am in my personal life. A lot of prep has gone into doing the role of Rashami.”

On her intense preparation for the cop’s role Sharif added, “My character is not just a tough cop but also has shades of grey. I wanted to get into the skin of the character and did a couple of workshops with not just my director but also worked on own self. I disconnected from my close-knit social circle ten days before the shoot. I wanted to be on my own. I watched a lot of interviews, documentaries on cops. I wanted to understand their mannerisms, their body language to how they behave in a particular manner.”

Aamna signs off saying, “I also have a lot of scenes in which I am using a gun which I had never used in life. My director Vikrant sir gave me a gun to keep with me in my house before the shoot. He said, ‘practice, try to make this a part of your life so that when you are on a set, it should not look unnatural when you are holding a gun.” Damaged 3 also stars TV actress Shrenu Parikh and will stream soon on Hungama Play.
