Rai
Prakash
is
a
model
and
actor
last
seen
in
Imtiyaz

Kal.
Pranati
was

The
actress,
who
plays
one
of
the
central
characters
in
ALTBalaji's
thriller
entertainment
Cartel,
spoke
at
length
about
her
character
and
the
show.
Tell
us
about
your
character?
I
am
essaying
the
character
of
Sumi,
who
is
zestful,
loves
her
family,
and
is
driven
to
become
an
actress.
However,
she
is
also
emotionally
volatile
and
much
pampered
as
she
is
the
youngest
sibling
in
the
Angre
family.
Hence
the
most
loved
one.
Playing
this
character
has
given
me
different
moods
to
explore
as
there
are
many
highs
and
lows
in
the
character's
life.
Playing
the
required
deep
emotional
involvement
was
exciting
for
me.
What
made
you
say
yes
to
the
show?
It
is
a
great
show
to
be
a
part
of.
After
reading
the
script
and
learning
about
my
character,
I
instantly
said
yes.
I
was
thrilled
to
be
a
part
of
the
show
with
this
genre
with
an
ensemble
of
such
brilliant
actors.
So
it
was
a
given
that
I
had
to
say
a
yes
to
a
show
like
this.”
Cartel
has
been
in
the
making
for
a
really
long
time.
Did
it
get
exhaustive
at
any
point?
Oh
yes,
it's
been
in
the
making
for
a
while,
but
I
understand
the
situation
when
the
plot
is
so
big.
Also,
let's
not
forget
that
the
lockdown
created
unprecedented
issues.
The
show
has
been
a
great
success
and
I
am
stomped
with
the
love
that
has
been
pouring
in.”
How
was
it
shooting
for
the
show?
Your
fondest
memory
from
the
sets…
It
has
been
a
mixture
of
emotions.
There
have
been
emotional
scenes
which
I
performed
for
which
I
had
to
often
drown
myself
in
a
sad
zone.
To
give
a
perfect
shot,
I
would
often
listen
to
sad
songs
and
cry.
Also,
I
had
lost
my
mother
last
year
while
I
was
shooting
and
returned
for
a
shoot
the
day
after.
I
remember
the
love
and
warmth
I
received
from
everyone
on
set
and
that
means
a
lot.
They
were
indeed
a
family.
I
have
fond
memories
of
listening
to
Jeetu
dada's
poetry,
getting
together
at
Tanuj's
farmhouse,
delicious
food
from
Rithvik's
place,
and
our
music
session
post
our
shoots.
It
was
indeed
a
great
time
