Lara
Dutta
is
currently
gracing
the
digital
screen
with
her
debut
series
Hundred
on
Disney+
Hotstar.
The
eight-episode
action-comedy
series
also
stars
Sairat
fame
Rinku
Rajguru
and
TV
star
Karan
Wahi
in
the
lead
roles.
In
a
recent
interview,
Lara
revealed
the
real
reason
behind
taking
a
break
from
Bollywood
and
the
big
screen
offerings.
Lara
said,
“You
know
to
be
very
honest
I
think
also
there
was
not
anything
that
was
coming
out
of
cinema
that
was
giving
me
those
chills
that
make
me
feel
it
is
incredible
and
I
want
to
be
there.
I
mean
the
last
film
I
completely
totally
enjoyed
being
part
of
was
Singh
Is
Bliing.
Also
because
that
was
Akshay
(Akshay
Kumar),
we
share
an
equation
that
is
effortless,
fun
and
I
like
doing
comedy.
It
was
mad,
crazy,
and
fun."
She
went
on
to
add,
“I
never
joined
the
industry
to
be
a
star,
I
always
just
wanted
to
be
an
actor.
I
was
frustrated
because
people
like
to
slot
you,
label
you,
and
box
you.
Multiple
offers
that
were
coming
to
me
back
then
were
glamorous
characters
on
screen.
I
was
tired
of
playing
sexy
and
good-looking
glamorous
roles,
so
it
was
very
important
for
me
to
do
different
roles.
I
was
fed
up
of
going
from
one
film
into
other
without
seeing
any
difference
in
the
characters.”
On
being
quizzed
about
Hundred
and
her
role,
the
actress
replied,
“We
are
used
to
watching
the
romanticised
version
of
police
officers,
where
everything
goes
right
for
them.
But
Hundred
is
a
slice-of-life
show,
so
everything
won’t
go
right
and
Soumya
Shukla
will
not
come
out
looking
like
a
hero.
In
films
like
Mardaani,
you
see
Rani
Mukerji
playing
a
cop
who
takes
control
and
everyone
fears
her.
Here
in
our
show,
it’s
a
very
real
portrayal
of
what
a
woman
actually
is.”
