Nia Sharma: I never thought of myself as a glamorous girl

Nia Sharma garnered immense adulation in Twisted season 1. With the success of the first season, the actress will soon be seen in the show’s second season. Talking about the same to an Indian entertainment portal, Nia said, "Twisted 1 came as a game changer for me since it was my move from television to web. Also I was seen in a completely changed avatar which was tough for me as well. I never thought of myself as a glamorous girl or that I’d ever pull of a character like Aliyah mukherjee. But it gave me a lot of confidence after it released. "

"Now with Twisted 2 , I feel more confident, more glamours, more experimental in terms of Aliyah’s looks and I’m extremely elated that the story also is so much more deep and impactful than last time... this is a series and a character that will not be written for me each time I go out to find projects. So I’m going to give it my all," added Nia.


Nia had been the finalist of Khatron Ke Khiladi last year. When asked about the same by another leading Indian entertainment portal, Nia had said, "The best part is that the episode where I became the finalist aired on my birthday.. what could have been better than this. I started to laugh and said to myself that It's my birthday today and the same episode is airing. When I was shooting for it I had no clue it would air on my birthday. It was such a treat to watch myself becoming the first finalist on my birthday. Everybody from my building right from the kids to the older people came to congratulate me and bless me. I just have one thing to say, It's not the fight of the dog in the fight, it's the fight of the fight in the dog."

On being ranked second in the list of sexiest Asian woman, the actress had said, "But seeing my name next to her (Priyanka) in the list is no less a dream and struck me with a frenzied happiness... I owe my fans this joy and want to share it with them despite not being able to digest the development."

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
