Working across different mediums has taught me to switch on and off between characters seamlessly: Delnaaz Irani

Delnaaz Irani, who has appeared in shows like Kabhie Kabhie Ittefaq Se, Yes Boss, and Shararat, among others, has been in the industry for over thirty years now. She revealed that every little experience, the double shifts, or the different platforms she worked on, has contributed to making her who she is today.
She said, “Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience, which has made my work much simpler. Working across different mediums has taught me how to switch on and off between characters seamlessly. This ability has developed over time through practice.”
“I recall back in the 90s when I was juggling between TV shows, my schedule was like shooting from 7 am to 2 pm for one shift and then 2 pm to 10 pm for another. That routine, combined with my theatre experience, has been instrumental in honing my skills. I would shoot all day and then perform on stage in the evening, often portraying a completely different character. These experiences have shaped me into the professional I am today,” Delnaaz added.
Kal Ho Naa Ho and Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa acstress also talk about how balancing her professional and personal life comes quite naturally to her. She said, “Those who know me would say I’m a grounded person. Neither fame nor stardom has ever affected me, thanks to my upbringing. I started working at a very young age, and my mother has always been strict and constructive with her feedback. Her guidance shaped me into a sorted individual. The ups and downs of this profession are inevitable, but I maintain balance by keeping everything in perspective."
