s I enter the room, I am greeted with a warm smile by Sarah-Jane Dias. As I start the interview, I realise that the former Miss India hasn’t forgotten her pageant training as she answers every question in a crisp and diplomatic way. The last time we saw the actress was in India’s first ensemble web series While her debut on the web might have been over shadowed among the huge start cast, the VJ turned actress says that she is happy to be part of meaningful projects and is particularly excited about her next web series with fame Tahir Raj Bhasin. “I am very excited about this. I am not worried how it will fare compared to as I am really proud of the work that everyone has done,” says Sarah. Excerpts from the interview:

Compared to is how different

For one was more of fiction than compared to It’s a story of urban couple and about a big incident which happens in their relationship. It’s a real and relatable story and it’s also fun. No matter how long you have been in a relationship with someone, there comes a time when, sometimes, you want to take a break from each other.

Also, here it is just you and Tahir, so there is no pressure of being over shadowed…

It was never about competition, if you are part of a project and you are not present because you want to contribute, then you are doing the wrong thing. I don’t carry the pressure of a project being a success or a failure as the outcome is not in my hand. All I can do is give it my best. Yes, I have a lot of screen presence in as compared to as it revolves around two people and not a team of people. The only pressure I am under, is to perform better before.

How do you not let competition get to your head?
