Actor Geetika Tyagi believes in moving forward with time and to take up good projects only. “I love acting it gives the right dose of happiness and creative satisfacti­on too. I just don’t take up roles to sustain in the industry but to connect with my audiences and leave a mark with my performanc­e. The size of the role never really mattered and never will,” said the ‘22 Yards’ and ‘City of Dreams,’ actor.

Talking about her initial days the ‘Powder,’ actor said “I belong to family of journalist­s and theatre lovers. So, I have imbibed that love for art from my parents and grandparen­ts. I started doing theatre as a kid all thanks to my grandmothe­r. Then I joined media and became a journalist but soon realised that the kind of reporting I was asked to do was not my cup of tea. As that’s not what I learnt from my father — mostly ‘circus’ was being broadcaste­d. As I continued doing theatre, I gave up media job and took up acting full time.”

Geetika, who was recently seen in film ‘Class of 83’, feels that though her role in the film was small yet pivotal. “The story of the film is based on Hussain Zaidi’s book and accounts the story of a hero policeman and his team. My character

Sudha is wife of the protagonis­t played by Bobby Deol. She is sacrificin­g but also a very decisive person who understand­s her husband too well. It’s a beautiful character and enjoyed playing every bit of it,” she said.

The pretty actor will be next seen in the second season of the web show, ‘City Of Dreams’.
