Koel
Puri
has
done
strong
roles
in
bollywood
and
earned
herself
the
tag
of
an
intelligent
actress
with
a
powerful
performance
in
Hazaaron
Khwaishe
Aisi.
Now,
Koel
Puri
is
all
set
to
play
a
journalist
in
It's
Breaking
News.
She
says
being
the
daughter
of
a
journalist
it
was
easy
for
her
to
get
into
the
character.
She
will
also
be
seen
in
Sanjay
Gupta's
Great
Indian
Butterfly
and
some
international
ventures
like
Amal
and
Empresses
-
Last
Close.
She
talks
about
her
role
in
It's
Breaking
News
Tell
us
about
the
movie
and
your
role
in
it.
I
play
a
journalist
who
is
shifted
from
the
entertainment
beat
to
the
crime
beat.
The
movie
follows
the
ups
and
downs
she
faces
after
this
change
in
her
professional
life.
My
character
creates
all
sorts
of
problems
for
herself
but
doesn't
have
a
clue
how
to
solve
them.
How
was
the
experience
of
playing
a
journalist?
It
was
very
nice,
especially
since
my
first
job
in
real
life
was
as
a
journalist.
So
I
was
familiar
with
what
goes
into
the
profession
and
it
didn't
take
me
long
to
prepare
for
the
role.
What
preparation
did
you
do?
I
read
a
few
books
and
watched
television
news
channels
to
get
my
body
language
right.
It
was
extremely
helpful
and
I
really
enjoyed
performing.
Even
your
father
is
a
journalist.
So
how
easy
was
it
for
you
to
perform?
Yes,
it
was
extremely
helpful
that
I
come
from
the
media
background
as
I
am
used
to
it
since
childhood.
It
was
very
easy
for
me
to
get
into
the
character
too.
In
real
life
too,
journalists
face
situations
when
they
are
shifted
from
one
beat
to
another.
What's
your
take
on
it?
It
is
really
sad,
and
yes,
this
does
happen
in
reality.
Sting
operations
are
really
beneficial
if
they
are
used
to
show
the
truth.
But
when
they
become
mere
tools
to
increase
the
channel's
TRPs
and
viewership,
it
is
extremely
harmful.
Media
cannot
pass
a
judgment
on
any
subject.
It
can
only
bring
the
reality
out
in
the
open.
If
you
had
been
a
journalist,
how
different
would
you
be?
I
would
be
extremely
enthusiastic,
full
of
energy
and
fair
enough
to
share
the
truth
with
the
world.
Tell
us
one
swear
word
that
you
would
have
wanted
your
character
to
say
in
the
film.
No,
I
never
wanted
to
use
any
swear
word
in
the
film
as
I
knew
that
my
character
created
all
the
problems
herself
and
eventually
got
entangled
in
them.
You
are
mostly
seen
in
off-beat
movies,
what
do
you
have
to
say
about
that?
Most
of
my
films
are
off-beat,
but
I
have
also
done
many
commercial
movies.
Yes,
I
love
doing
movies
on
off-beat
themes
as
I
like
their
scripts
and
the
message
that
they
give
out.
Where
do
you
see
yourself
in
the
next
five
years?
I
want
to
do
a
lot
of
films
and
in
many
languages,
too.
I
am
really
fond
of
it.
Tell
us
about
your
upcoming
movies.
Some
of
my
forthcoming
films
are
Sanjay
Gupta's
"Great
Indian
Butterfly",
"Amal",
a
Toronto
film,
and
"Empresses
-
Last
Close",
a
British
production.
