Rishina Kandhari plays a cop!

Actor Rishina Kandhari, who anchors Crime Patrol, says that she loves being part of the project. However, she adds that some of the stories shown in the series can affect her emotionally. “It feels great to be a part of Crime Patrol. I’ve always had a desire to anchor a show and I love playing a cop. The stories I do affect me at a certain point because I feel very sad with what is happening to our beautiful world and why people cannot live in peace with each other,” she says.

Although, she has played a cop in the show Diya Aur Baati Hum, the actor says that playing a cop in this show is more realistic. “In the real world, cops are not so emotional or attached to the cases but yes, as an actor, I have to show a little bit of involvement in the show. Previously, I played a cop in Diya aur Baati Hum but that was a serial whereas Crime Patrol is on the real end of the fictional spectrum. I have to be as natural as possible,” she says.

I love playing a cop!

Talking of the uniform, she says, “I love the khakee vardi. I have transformed as a person, my body language has evolved and I feel very powerful in it. If I wouldn’t have been an actor, I would have been a high rank police officer for sure. Crime Patrol is an interesting show and many interesting incidents keep happening on the set.”

The actor wishes to play a lead next and is also on the lookout for films. “I would love to do good films in the future. Nowadays, serials are very short-lived. Unfortunately, my last show Mitegi Laxman Rekha, which had a great concept and an amazing star cast couldn’t hit the right chord with the audience and shut down within 3 months. I was playing the parallel lead in the project. In the past, I’ve done very strong characters who have been an integral part of popular shows. I have proved my mettle as a good actor however I wish to see myself playing the protagonist,” she finishes.
