's performance in Stree to shape her portrayal. She says, 'When I watched Shraddha in Stree, I was definitely captivated—there was a mystery to her, layered with a quiet emotional pull. That performance lingered with me. But when it came to Meera, while I could relate to the essence of that character, I knew the emotional landscape was different.
Shraddha's expressions, her silences, her rhythm—they were inspiring, but Meera demanded a different kind of intensity.
I drew from her restraint and calm, but I had to push in a direction that was bolder, rawer, and a bit more grounded in grief and strength. So yes, I referenced her, but only as a starting point. From there, I had to find Meera's unique emotional pitch.'
Recently, in an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, Sheen Das, who plays a Dakini in the show, opened up about her role.
She shared, 'I've never done something like this on TV before. It's my first time doing something like this for TV. The look is very bold, and it justifies the role. There's a lot of emotion that is driving the horror in the show. I saw a lot of horror movies. There's a certain way the character had to walk, talk, and do everything, so there's a lot of preparation that went behind not just the physical aspect but also the emotional.

She further shared, 'There are two aspects of my role — one of a 100-year-old and another is of a girl who was a great musician. The show will portray that her love is timeless, and she is in love with her boyfriend. The character will wait for her boyfriend to be reincarnated so that she can finally reunite with him.'
