The
beautiful
and
talented
Priyamani
Raj,
who
is
known
for
winning
hearts
in
the
South-Indian
film
industry
and
now
on
the
digital
front,
has
been
receiving
praises
for
her
latest
stint
with
ALTBalaji's
latest
urban
relationship
drama,
His
Storyy.
The
11-episodic
unconventional
story
is
of
Sakshi,
Kunal
and
Preet
has
surely
won
hearts.
In
a
personal
conversation,
Priyamani,
who
plays
a
wife
to
a
gay
husband
in
the
closet,
speaks
at
length
about
the
show
and
her
experience
on
His
Storyy.
Tell
us
about
the
show?
The
show's
plot
revolves
around
a
married
couple-
Sakshi
and
Kunal,
who
love
and
care
for
each
other.
Due
to
the
circumstances,
the
husband
is
still
closeted
and
is
hiding
his
sexuality.
The
two
own
a
restaurant
together
and
have
two
beautiful
boys-
Shivaay
and
Shlok.
The
marriage
encounters
trouble
when
Preet,
a
food
critic,
walks
into
their
lives.
Preet
and
Kunal
are
secretly
in
love,
leaving
me,
as
in
Sakshi,
hurt
and
lost.
Sakshi
initially
is
angry
at
herself,
and
then
her
anger
is
directed
towards
her
husband
and
Preet.
Tell
us
about
your
character.
I
play
the
role
of
Sakshi,
Kunal's
wife
and
mother
of
two
lovely
boys.
Sakshi
is
left
bewildered
when
her
husband
finally
comes
out
of
the
closet.
At
first,
she
is
significantly
hurt
and
angry,
which
is
only
natural
considering
the
life
that
she
has
lived
till
now
feels
like
a
lie.
Eventually,
their
friendship
stands
the
test
of
time,
and
she
supports
her
best
friend
and
husband
when
he
needs
it.
What
all
preparations
did
you
do
for
your
character?
Preparing
oneself
mentally
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
one
has
to
do
leading
up
to
the
shoot
and
the
launch
of
a
series.
There
is
always
the
physical
fitness
aspect,
where
I
knew
I
had
to
exercise
and
take
care
of
my
diet.
There
is
also
a
lot
of
homework
and
research
that
goes
into
any
character
played.
And
for
Sakshi,
I
had
to
be
responsible
and
subtle.
How
excited
are
you
about
the
launch?
To
be
a
part
of
such
an
unconventional
show
itself
is
like
a
rollercoaster
ride,
right
from
start
to
finish.
There
were
always
moments
of
bliss
during
the
shoot
that
I
lived
for.
I
am
loving
every
moment
of
the
process
leading
up
to
the
launch.
We
all
have
put
in
our
best
efforts,
and
I
cannot
help
but
be
eager
and
excited
to
see
audience
feedback.
I
hope
the
audience
takes
away
the
right
message
from
the
show.
Do
you
feel
OTT
platforms
are
the
future
of
the
entertainment
industry?
There
is
no
denial
that
OTT
platforms
are
the
future
of
the
entertainment
industry.
They
cater
to
various
genres,
stories,
etc.
The
way
things
are
going,
it
might
be
possible
that
people
will
only
prefer
OTT
as
they
are
easily
accessible
at
any
place.
With
their
diverse
content
and
growing
audience,
digital
platforms
are
anticipated
to
be
the
new
normal
for
everyone.
How
was
your
experience
working
with
your
co-stars?
Right
from
Mrinal,
Satyadeep
to
all
the
actors,
it
was
lovely
working
with
them.
I
had
a
different
equation
off
camera
with
them.
All
of
them
are
amazing,
beautiful,
truly
talented,
and
they
will
have
bright
futures
and
are
yet
to
reach
their
max
potential
and
will
shine.
What
are
your
expectations
from
the
show?
As
an
actor,
I
can't
comment
on
how
the
show
is
going
to
be
received.
It
is
not
in
our
hands.
The
only
thing
that
is
in
my
hand
is
my
performance,
which
I
have
given
my
one
hundred
percent.
I
want
the
show
to
be
loved
by
the
audience
and
stay
with
the
audience.
We
have
provided
our
hundred
percent,
and
that
is
all
that
we
could've
done.
What
is
that
one
message
you
would
like
to
share
with
your
viewers
and
fans?
Letting
your
happiness
depend
on
someone
else
is
the
biggest
mistake
one
can
make.
If
you
truly
love
someone,
the
support
you
have
for
them
never
waivers.
The
only
way
to
be
happy
is
to
be
yourself
is
the
major
takeaway
from
this
series.
Another
thing
to
learn
is
that
you
can't
change
a
person
you
have
to
make
peace
with
it
and
alter
yourself
and
your
thinking,
else
there
is
no
way
to
be
happy.
How
was
the
shoot
post
COVID
norms?
What
precautions
did
you
take
while
shooting?
I
was
excited
to
face
the
camera
after
a
brief
hiatus.
It
felt
like
a
homecoming
of
sorts.
While
makers
ensured
that
all
the
guidelines
are
followed
on
sets,
actors
were
also
extra
cautious.
There
were
limited
people
on
sets
and
we
wore
masks.
At
every
point
in
and
around
the
sets,
there
were
sanitizer
bottles
and
sprays.
It
was
quite
a
different
experience,
but
I
got
used
to
it.
It
has
become
a
new
normal
for
everyone.
It
was
challenging
to
shoot
during
such
restrictions,
however
keeping
in
mind
the
guidelines,
I
made
sure
to
carry
my
sanitizers,
mask,
gloves,
etc.
It
was
not
only
to
ensure
my
safety
but
also
to
ensure
the
safety
of
my
fellow
cast
and
crew
members.
