Surveen Chawla: A swipe of lipstick lifts my face and my spirit
Surveen Chawla's Instagram is filled with her pictures of being experimental with her lipstick shades, and on International Lipstick Day today, the actor admits that it's her playful side that comes alive when she tries on different shades. 'I take risks with my lipstick shades quite often. I feel like it's a part of my personality. I like change and try to stay away from monotony, which includes using the same shades or sticking to the same ones. That is who I am primarily; I don't like to be predictable as I find that boring and lifeless,' she says. Surveen Chawla Glossing over her relationship with lipstick over the years, Surveen Chawla, who was recently seen in Mandala Murders, says she has gone from 'structured lips to blurry lips'. She shares, 'I like to smudge the lipsticks and keep them blur. And the colour choices that have evolved over the years. I am more playful about my lips and it is amongst the few basics that I follow for my makeup. I am playing with a lot of colours now.' Sharing her favourite shade, she tells us, 'I gravitate toward deep rose—it's soft but strong. But the first time I wore a wine-black lip shade, it felt powerful. Like I was stepping into a more fearless version of myself.' Recalling one of her funniest incidents with a lipstick, Surveen remembers, 'Once, during a windy outdoor shoot, my hair stuck to my red gloss mid-dialogue. The scene was intense, but we couldn't stop laughing afterwards.' But the actor loves her lipsticks as she insists, 'It gives me presence. Even on low days, a swipe of lipstick lifts my face and my spirit.' She is also very particular about her lip care routine. Mention that and she shares, 'It's always coconut oil or desi ghee for hydration in the night, and I use a lot of lip scrubs and lip balms during the day. I don't like too much gloss on my lips, I am a very matte sort or a girl. That's why even my lip balms are a little more hydrating than glossy.' While she does enjoy her experimentation with lip shades and makeup in general, Surveen also likes to keep it light and airy. 'I am a very no makeup kind of individual. The three things I do before stepping out are my eyebrows, my lips and a blush. I don't even use foundation usually.. Makeup for me is just to feel good. It's about being creative not corrective,' she ends.

Mandala Murders: Vaani Kapoor and Surveen Chawla say there was no insecurity while sharing screen space together
Vaani Kapoor and Surveen Chawla When two actresses with powerful roles share the screen, the tension of wanting to shine can often linger just beneath the surface. But when Vaani Kapoor and Surveen Chawla came together for Mandala Murders, by their own admission, there was no such competitive vibe on set. Vaani plays a determined detective, while Surveen has stepped into the shoes of a sharp local politician in the Gopi Puthran and Manan Rawat-directed series. Reflecting on how they avoided letting insecurity seep in despite portraying equally strong characters, Vaani shared, 'I think it's unspoken respect for one another and the craft. Instead of thinking about grabbing all the limelight for a scene, you can enhance it by just being silent and being present for your co-actor when they are doing their lines (and give cues). It's not something one needs to ask of the other person. It's just unspoken mutual respect.' Surveen, who comes from a television background and has worked on daily soaps alongside other female leads explained, 'In the end you are serving a bigger purpose. You're not one versus the other, you are with each other. When a part is written there are some scenes that are just yours. There is a moment in the arc that comes where every part peaks, right? And in that moment when it's somebody else's turn to peak, I think you have to ignite that fire in them even with your silences. There's no scope for insecurity. There is an individual sport and then there is a team sport. This is not an individual profession after all, it's about team sport.'

Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it: Actor Surveen Chawla
Mumbai, Surveen Chawla, known for her performances in big OTT hit shows like 'Scared Games', 'Rana Naidu', 'Criminal Justice', says even though she would like to be part of films, women-centric stories are hard to come by. Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it: Actor Surveen Chawla Chawla said the industry is a work in progress when it comes to opportunities for women, both on and off screen. 'Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it. The industry is evolving where we're eventually getting into a space where you want to aspire to have equality on every aspect whether it is equality on quality or in storytelling, pay parity or on how you're treated, keeping the hierarchy aside,' the actor told PTI. Good roles are plenty in the OTT space and that's what she is currently focused on, said the actor, who has acted in films such as 'Ugly', 'Hate Story 2', and 'Parched'. "I feel like there is scarcity of such parts being written in films, which is what draws you to doing this here . If I've an opportunity to do one or five or ten such films where it satisfies my hunger that I've been able to contribute to a project in a large way then I'll do it,' Chawla added. The 40-year-old actor, who will next appear in Netflix series 'Mandala Murders', said she is seeking roles that challenge her. 'A lot of work doesn't mean there's a queue. So, from that little basket of work that you get, you try to pick the most exciting one, challenging and unique one, something that you've not done in the past. "I need to feel that joy from within when I'm waking up on a day of shooting that spring in your step that today I'm going to surmount a small little peak." Headlined by Vaani Kapoor, 'Mandala Murders' is a mythological crime-thriller. Set in the quaint, mysterious town of Charandaspur, the series will see Kapoor as a no-nonsense investigative officer, Rhea Thomas, who unravels a chilling conspiracy of ritualistic killings tied to a centuries-old secret society. It is directed by Gopi Puthran of 'Mardaani 2' fame and Manan Rawat. Chawla's co-star from the show, Vaibhav Raj Gupta of 'Gullak' fame, said the upcoming show is a 'big opportunity' for him. 'I've been waiting for three years for this trailer to come, for this show to come. I was telling myself I was like as soon as 'Gullak' is there, 'Mandala...' will reach further than that because of so many things. All the things were amazing in this show and it was a big opportunity for me to reach people because they were only seeing me as Anu for a long time. "So, it was very tough for me to break that thing because then you need somebody like Gopi sir or Manan sir who can see you doing something different. So I'm asking them, 'how did you think that I can do Vikram Singh because I couldn't see myself',' he said. 'Madala Murders', produced by YRF Entertainment, will premiere on July 25 on Netflix.
