Neha Chauhan: I like acting, but I want to direct more

Actress Neha Chauhan, who made her acting debut in LSD: Love Sex and Dhokha (2010), claims that she never considered becoming a front-of-the-camera star and that she originally moved to Mumbai to pursue a career in directing. The actor, who was last seen as a political strategist in Maharani-2, said, “I have heard about destiny, but I have seen it play out in my life.

“When I moved from Indore, I did not have any acting dreams,” the young person recalls. In actuality, I had never considered being an actress! I completed a direction course before coming here to direct. I was asked to act by Dibakar (Banerjee, the director) in a matter of months, but I declined! Then I became involved with the casting of the same movie and production process. Finally, I agreed to act and it turned out to be a cult film.”

She switched between directions. Letters to Dharavi (2011), which is based on a unique method used by postmen to distribute mail, was written and directed by myself.


Chauhan was involved in numerous initiatives. “For me, there was never a break. I performed as the lead in two Tamil and one Haryanvi movies, worked on a Telugu film with an ensemble cast, performed in theatre with Pramod Pathak, appeared in commercials, and was involved in numerous web projects, such as Humorously Yours, It’s Not That Simple, Shaitani Haveli, and Inside Edge. I therefore never went unemployed, but now that OTT has taken off, it’s much more common. I simply want to keep up the enthusiasm.

She hasn’t been interested in TV though. “Scripts without a beginning and an end don’t interest me, and I know I won’t be able to give them right, so why get involved prematurely and regret it later? I agree that working in television pays well, but money can’t be the primary driving force.

Her desire to direct has finally begun to materialise. “At the moment, my mind, body, and soul are wholly devoted to performing, but I have a gnawing need to start directing once more. I’ll start with the short films I’ve written and use my acting talents and background working with renowned directors like Satish Kaushik, Dibakar, and Shubhash Kapoor. Most likely, something will occur in a year.

She has a good connection to UP. “My mother is from Moradabad, and my father is from Bijnor. I was born in Nigeria, yet I later lived in Faridabad and Indore for the majority of my life. I shot the movie Kaagaz in Lucknow’s surroundings in 2019 and am currently filming another series (Moonlight) in the state capital.

Additionally, she will return to Rocket Boys in the upcoming season.

“I am pleased to say that I enjoy working with the folks I do. I don’t have high expectations, and I just strive to set a little bit higher standards with each assignment. She claims that it’s a wonderful experience to embody and maintain the persona throughout the days of filming.

Review of House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1: A solid, albeit sluggish, comeback with more discussion and less action

There are high hopes for House of the Dragon’s nearly two-year return. The first season of the prequel series to Game of Thrones raised the bar by placing viewers squarely in the thick of action and including rich character development spanning about 20 years in the Dance of the Dragons. The second season picks up just after the horrific events of the first, in which Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) and his dragon killed Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) youngest son, Lucerys (Elliot Mitchell). Now, intent or lack thereof is irrelevant. There’s been bloodshed, and the fallout will be far bloodier.

Fans of Game of Thrones may be reminded of the strategic war table scenes in which the protagonists scheme and plot in poorly lit interiors and consult council to choose the best course of action in the first episode of the second season, “A Son for a Son.” This time around, viewers should anticipate a more engaging comeback if the first episode is any guide. To be honest, it’s a pleasant diversion from the previous season’s unrelenting presentation of the developing conflict between the Blacks and the Greens. This season seems to be taking a much more methodical approach, focusing primarily on the internal conflicts. Peace is undoubtedly unattainable, but in the pursuit  for revenge, what also meets the eye is the reclamation of power, and the expression of grief.

Emma D’Arcy is fierce from the moment they first appear, adding a hint of melancholy and sorrow to the cunning world of things. However, Daemon (Matt Smith) is not to be trusted because he has his own ideas about who will succeed him. He doesn’t understand why pursuing retribution must wait when it may be completed right away. He reasons, “The mother grieves as the queen shirks her duties.” Additionally, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and her daughter Helaena (Phia Saban) need to go beyond being remorseful spectators. By the end of this grim tale, we realise exactly why Helaena says she is afraid of rats.

The first episode immerses viewers in the discussions and betrayals that take place in the council chambers and chambers. It takes a confident and poised stride towards intensifying hostilities. While some viewers may be taken aback by showrunner Ryan Condal’s approach, which emphasises character-driven intrigue over grand schemes and spectacular action scenes in the beginning of the season, the show delves deeply into themes of war, betrayal, and legacy. We do get a deeper look at the hopelessness and inner demons of these men who pleasure in killing and retaliation, which makes the first episode promising even though it is a little too inconsistent and constrained for its own benefit. Even now, the first episode is personal and moving, laying  the necessary groundwork for the battles that will inevitably follow as the season develops.
