Khushi Bharadwaj on playing a teen on the autism spectrum in Criminal Justice 4: It made me more aware of how overwhelming the world can feel
Khushi Bharadwaj Khushi Bharadwaj , known for her roles in Baalveer Returns, Tiku Weds Sheru, 36 Days, Gyarah Gyarah, and IC 814, is receiving positive feedback for her performance in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter . In the show, she portrays Ira, a teenager on the autism spectrum. Reflecting on the preparation that went into the role, the 17-year-old shares, 'Bringing Ira to life was quite a process. I spent around two weeks doing four-hour workshops every day to understand her world better. My acting coach, Sandeep Ghosh sir, was instrumental in helping me shape the character. I remember being really nervous during the first scene — I wasn't sure if I was getting it right. But gradually, I settled into the role. Playing Ira made me realise how overwhelming and confusing the world can sometimes feel for someone on the spectrum. It gave me a deeper sense of empathy and respect for their lived experience.'

Asked how she managed academics alongside a complex role, she admits, 'It wasn't easy. I'd study during breaks on set and made sure to cover extra ground before shooting began. But I believe that when you truly care about both things — acting and studying — you find a way to make it work.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Grateful for the experience, she adds, 'I'd love to play a character like Ira again, if given the opportunity.
