Neena Gupta admits feeling jealous of losing a role to Sunita Rajwar
In a recent interview with India Today, she recounted an incident where a young filmmaker had approached her for a role. She later discovered that the same filmmaker had also contacted actor Sunita Rajwar, who, incidentally, is a good friend of Neena's. Reflecting on this, she pondered aloud, "I kept wondering why she would reach out to both of us if she didn't intend to cast me. Sunita and I are very good friends, but we look so different from each other. How can one approach both of us for the same role? There are no similarities," she quipped.
Neena Gupta further added that she often gets jealous when she loses a project to a contemporary. “There is a bit of jealousy. I feel jealous when my friends or contemporaries bag apart and I don’t, but I also take it in a good spirit,” she added.
About Panchayat Season 3
According to Pinkvilla's review, the series has maintained the essence of its previous seasons, making it worth watching. However, the writing fails to match the show's caliber, and there are pacing issues that require attention.
The rural drama features Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, Neen Gupta, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Ashok Pathak, Faisal Malik, and Sunita Rajwar in prominent roles. Set in the fictional village of Phulera, this drama, penned by Chandan Kumar, revolves around the narrative of Abhishek, an engineering graduate who, faced with a stagnant IT career, assumes the role of Gram Panchayat Secretary.
Panchayat Season 3, created by writer Chandan Kumar and directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, follows the footsteps of its predecessors. The first season premiered in 2020, followed by its second installment in 2022. The series is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
