I’m both excited and nervous: Srijla Guha on her debut show Mon Phagun’s launch

Model Srijla Guha made heads turn in the very first promo of ‘

Mon Phagun

’. She is a popular model and is going to make her debut with this upcoming show.

Well, she has butterflies in her stomach as ‘Mon Phagun’ is set to launch on July 26. “This is my very first show. I am excited and nervous at the same time,” says Srijla.

The show has a strong cast and will feature some of the very popular faces of this industry including Saswati Guha Thakurta, Biswanath Basu, Mallika Mazumder, Sujan Mukherjee,

Geetashree Roy

, and many others. The team has been enjoying outdoor shooting amid the breathtaking natural beauty of Kalimpong and its surrounding areas.

While speaking about her experience of sharing the screen with these actors,

Srijla

adds, “I have zero experience in acting. I have no knowledge in technical matters as well. When Snigdha di approached me for the character, I told her that I have no prior experience. She asked me to be myself while playing Pihu. During the shoot, the entire team helped me. I made several mistakes but they were so cooperative. Once, Mallika di held my hands and asked me to deliver the dialogue. I am really lucky to have them."

She also shared how the dedication of the senior actors encouraged her. “There was a particular scene where we had to ride a trekker. Saswati's auntie was having trouble while getting inside the trekker. We had to retake the scene quite a few times and she did it with a smile on her face. During the trip, Mallika di was unwell but she continued to shoot. Once the show goes on air, I bet, you won’t be able to find out in which scene she was unwell. Biswanath da patiently dealt with me every time I made a mistake. You automatically feel encouraged to see such dedicated artists around you,” shares the actress.

Interestingly, Srijla’s beau Rohaan Bhattacharjee’s show ‘Aparajita Apu’ is being aired on the same time slot when ‘Mon Phagun’ is slated for its telecast. When asked about the TRP race between the two shows, Srijla promptly says, “I don’t think about TRP race. Moreover, I keep my personal life and professional life separate. I leave my personal life at home while stepping out for shooting.”
