Actress Rasika Dugal, who will be seen sharing the screen with Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan for the first time in the upcoming film Kartavya, has revealed the quality she most admired in him and tried to imbibe during the shoot. The Mirzapur star shared that some actors naturally possess the ability to not only perform their own roles but also stay fully aware of everything happening on set—a skill she admittedly struggles with.
Rasika confessed that while on set, she often remains absorbed in her own thoughts and finds it challenging to bring everyone together. When asked what she unlearned during the filming of Kartavya, she elaborated: "There are some actors who are able to sort of understand what is happening on the set entirely and do their job also, which I saw Saif do very beautifully."
"I feel that sometimes when I am on set, I can only be in my own head a little bit and not really be able to carry everybody together with me, and not even sort of take on that responsibility. So I unlearned how to do that because I saw him do that so beautifully," she added.
Previously, Rasika shared her experience of working with Saif, describing him as extremely fun to collaborate with. "It's great to have a co-actor who has a super sense of humour and is so much fun to work with! I really admire how he has sustained a successful career for over three decades and constantly reinvented himself. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him," she said.
Directed and written by Pulkit, Kartavya also features Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain, Manish Chaudhari, and Saurabh Dwivedi in significant roles, along with others. The film is slated to premiere on streaming giant Netflix on 15th May this year.
