WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT CYBER CRIME EVERYDAY, SAYS RENUKA

Renuka Shahane is back on television after three long years. The actor is eagerly looking forward to returning to her “comfort zone” as the host of a crime show, and calls herself “a crime buff”. While she agrees crime shows can, at times, be quite vivid, Shahane feels that without drama, they would feel like documentaries.
Talking about the various kinds of crimes seen in society today, she says, “Often, socio-economic and psychological situations lead to crimes. There are so many crimes and criminals out there that you are not exposed to. In fact, children are so vulnerable due to the digital implosion that is a part of our lives now.”
The What The Folks actor goes on to say that the now-booming digital space has a big role to play, in that direction.
“We are all learning about the digital world everyday, including the crimes on it. There are many pitfalls. Growing up, we didn’t have these influences in our lives and so, being a parent, it is an added pressure,” she confesses.
Shahane, who has, over the years, hosted a number of television shows, says returning to anchoring was smooth, quick and seamless.
“While playing a character, I feel more nervous, but hosting is my comfort zone. I remember when I moved from theatre to TV, and later films, it was a big jump. Once I started doing films, I had to learn how to be natural in front of the camera,” says the actor.
She adds, “Now, moving from TV to films to OTT is easy, and doesn’t differ much. There is a thin line and one can pick up the tone needed for the medium.”
