Broken But Beautiful 3 Director Priyanka Ghose On Sidharth Shukla: “He Had Zero Airs Of A Star”

Director Priyanka Ghose, of the new series Broken But Beautiful 3, says she deliberately didn’t watch lead actor Sidharth Shukla’s previous works before directing him.

“I had heard of Sidharth but not seen any of his work. The minute I knew I was doing this project, I googled him and thus became aware of his popularity. However, even though there were ample videos online for me to check out his work, I refrained,” Priyanka tells IANS.

Priyanka Ghose, who earlier worked as an associate director in the popular series Aarya, reveals the reason. “I didn’t want to be tainted with a preconceived image of Sidharth while we were drafting the story and building Agastya (the character Sidharth plays in the series). I was hoping he would come and pleasantly surprise me with his own interpretation of Agastya. My hope turned to trust the first time we met for his narration,” she says.
