 Tell us something about 'Strangers'. |
| Nandana: 'Strangers' is a beautiful but strange movie. The story is about two strangers who meet together; about two people falling in love in a strange land. It has lot of complexity and suspense. It's a thriller but not a complete thriller, and it's a combination of different genre. Above all it's a deeply emotional film. |
|
| What character you are playing in 'Strangers'? |
| Nandana: I am playing a character called Preeti who is from London. She is very successful, passionate and a royal girl who falls deeply in love. There are certain ups and downs in her relationship. The character is very much real. In short, Preeti is confident, carefree, successful and sarcastic character; she is not a typical doll like character.
|
| It has been said that you have done a very bold scene in 'Strangers'? Were you comfortable doing it? |
| Nandana: I have no qualms in doing bold scenes if it's a requirement and the character and script defines the relevance. At the end, I am an actor. |
| How was it acting with Jimmy Shergill and Kay Kay for the first time? |
| Nandana: It was a wonderful experience working with them. Sharing screen with Jimmy was great and it was very easy to work with him. He has a given a wonderful performance in the film. Kay Kay is a wonderful, disciplined actor and a very nice guy. I adore Jimmy because he is really sweet; he is very friendly and generous.

| How was your experience working with a debutant director Anand L Rai? |
| Nandana: Anand L Rai is a fantastic director and a great guy. He has given me the chance to do improvisation in my character. He has a generous vision of world and human nature. He has done many television serials, so he is very comfortable with actors. Before the film, Anand was a stranger to me. Now that I have done the film, he has become a family to me. |
| What is the music of the film like? |
| Nandana: Music of the film is melodious. Sometimes music can be obstacle if it is not used in the right manner but the music of our film plays a critical part in evoking emotions. |
| Besides 'Strangers' what other projects are you working on? |
| Nandana: Besides 'Strangers', I have 'Forest' and right now I am doing 'Colours Of Passion'. It is a film based on the love story of painter - Raja Ravi Sharma. I am playing the character of Shantabai. It's a historical character where I may be looked upon as Shakuntala, Sita, Laxmi and Draupadi. I have done much research for the film. 'Forest' is an international venture. It's a love triangle where I am playing a character called "Radha" who is a very tough girl. It was great playing that role. It's a story of one night stand in the forest. |
| Favorite pass time. |
| Nandana: I love to read and write poems. I also love to listen to Rabindra sangeet that is Tagore's songs.. I do yoga three times in a week. I love dancing so I have learned Ballet, Manipuri dance and modern dancing. |
| Finally how would you define 'Strangers' in one line? |
| Nandana: If I would have to describe the film in one line, I would say 'Strangers' beautifully walks in between the good and the bad lines. |
