Diana Penty is all set to be seen next in her OTT series debut, Do You Wanna Partner, alongside Tamannaah Bhatia. The actress said that her character, Anahita, is the most real person that she has ever played onscreen. Diana also shared that his character drew a lot from her own personal experiences. She further claimed that he role is real, relatable and believable. She believes that as the show is led by female actors, it is more demanding and rewarding.
Diana Penty said, “Something I’ve never done before, yes because I’ve also never done a long format before. Anahita isn’t a demure girl like I’ve played earlier, nor is she one of the boisterous characters I’ve portrayed before. She’s the most real person I’ve played so far.”
Diana added, “And that’s what makes it so special. Each character has been cast so perfectly. For my character, we drew a lot from my own personal experiences, things that might have happened to all of us, which makes it so real, relatable and believable.”
The actress added, “Because you get so much more to explore and really go into the depth of a character something you do get in films, but not as much and not as often. And since it’s a female-led show, or rather an ensemble where the women are at the forefront, running a business together, it was both demanding and rewarding. We shot it in just 50 days, which added to the challenge, but at the same time, made the experience incredibly fulfilling.”
