Actress Ruhi Singh, who will next be seen playing a police officer in the web series Bang Baang: The Sound Of Crimes, says the role came as a refreshing change, considering she hails from a modeling background.
“I always wanted to play the role of a serious cop because you are often stereotyped in this industry when you come from a modeling background. The role was really a refreshing change for me as an actor. When the makers of this show approached me for this role,” said Ruhi.
“Being a woman, getting to do a lot of action in the show was interesting. We have often seen that actresses get fewer opportunities to do action scenes in a film or in a show. They are mostly there for the glamour quotient. I always wanted to play a character where I could show off my martial arts skills,” she added.
Ruhii’s co-star in the series is social media sensation Mr. Faisu or Faisal Shaikh. The budding actress says she had balanced footage when it came to action scenes, with her male co-star.
“I don’t think there is any partiality in terms of the proportion of action scenes. I feel the lead actor (Faisal Shaikh) and I got an equal opportunity to show off our acting skills. My responsibility increased a lot as I didn’t want to disappoint the makers of the show and the audience,” she said.
While Mr. Faisu is a popular social media star who had a huge Tiktok fan base when the app wasn’t banned in India, Ruhii Singh, former Miss India, was previously seen in films like Calendar Girls and Ishq Forever.
The action series Bang Baang: The Sound Of Crimes is directed by Shraddha Pasi Jairath, and is slated to will stream on ALTBalaji and Zee5 from January 25.
