RJ Mahvash reveals emotional toll of filming intense scene in ‘Pyar Paisa Profit'
Amazon MX Player, the free streaming arm of Amazon, continues to make waves in India's OTT landscape with its fresh and relatable storytelling. One of its most talked-about recent releases, Pyar Paisa Profit, adapted from Durjoy Datta's novel Now That You're Rich, Let's Fall in Love, has quickly become a standout thanks to its compelling narrative and strong performances. Directed by Prashant Singh, the series centers on the intertwined lives of four young professionals—Abhijeet, Saurabh, Shruti, and Garima—as they juggle demanding careers and emotional dilemmas in the ever-demanding cityscape of Mumbai. With a powerful ensemble cast including Mihir Ahuja, Pratik Yadav, Shivangi Khedkar, Nitish Sharma, Naman Upadhyaya, and radio star-turned-actor RJ Mahvash, the series has resonated deeply with audiences. During a recent media interaction, RJ Mahvash opened up about a particularly grueling shoot that left a lasting emotional impact. 'There's this scene where my character breaks down on a balcony,' she explained. 'I had to cry intensely twice—once indoors and then again outside. Being my debut web series, I wanted to challenge myself, so I experimented with method acting. I drew on a recent personal tragedy—the loss of a family member—to fuel the emotion.' What happened next caught even her off guard. 'The grief I channeled felt so real that I couldn't pull myself out of it, even after the director yelled 'cut'. I broke down completely,' Mahvash said. 'It turned into a panic attack. I was sobbing uncontrollably, and the atmosphere on set became heavy—several crew members were in tears too. It was an overwhelming moment.' The actor called the experience both transformative and cautionary. 'It was honestly embarrassing at the time,' she admitted. 'That day I learned method acting isn't the right approach for me, at least for emotionally draining scenes. Now, I rely on switching in and out of character quickly—it's healthier and more sustainable.' Pyar Paisa Profit is currently streaming for free on Amazon MX Player, accessible via mobile apps, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Amazon's shopping app.

RJ Mahvash channels real-life emotions in new corporate drama Pyar Paisa Profit on Amazon MX Player
Amazon MX Player, Amazon's free video streaming platform, continues to make waves in the Indian OTT space with its latest release, Pyar Paisa Profit. The 20-episode corporate drama is already generating buzz among viewers for its relatable storyline, strong performances and emotional authenticity. Based on Durjoy Dutta's bestselling novel Now That You're Rich, Let's Fall in Love, the series delves into the intense world of venture capital through the eyes of four ambitious professionals navigating the chaos of work, ambition and love in Mumbai. Directed by Prashant Singh, the show features Mihir Ahuja, RJ Mahvash, Pratik Yadav, Shivangi Khedkar, Nitish Sharma and Naman Upadhyaya in key roles. RJ Mahvash, who plays Garima, brings a layered performance to the screen, drawing inspiration from her own personal experiences. Speaking about what attracted her to the role, she said, 'What instantly pulled me toward my character Garima was how much of myself I saw in her. She's independent, driven, and determined to prove she can make it on her own terms—all while balancing emotional vulnerability.' Reflecting on her own time in the corporate world, Mahvash added, 'I have been through something similar. Back when I was working in the corporate space, I'd often find myself emotionally invested in people and workplace dynamics. But over time, I learned that being too available or too nice can sometimes lead to people taking you for granted. That fine balance—staying kind yet firm, and knowing when to say no politely, is something I've always struggled with, and that's exactly what I see in Garima.' Pyar Paisa Profit offers a blend of youthful energy and emotional complexity, portraying characters who are both aspirational and flawed. It explores themes of self-worth, resilience, and navigating adult relationships, all set against the backdrop of the demanding corporate world. The series is now available to stream for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, which is accessible via mobile apps, Amazon's shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
