Harleen Sethi, who was most recently seen in the web series Shaque: Trust No One, has opened up about the show. While speaking to mid-day, the actress revealed that apart from the opportunity to play a complex and challenging character, another thing that the show gave her was a dear friend in Jennifer Winget.
Harleen tells us, "I think what Shag gave me, other than what it's giving me, is a good friend like her (Jennifer Winget). We really bonded there in Jhel and Shimla when we were shooting together. We used to go for treks together. We used to talk a lot. So I think it was a good bond, and we carried that bond through our shoot and everything."
Talking of Jennifer, she says, "I also think Jenny is such a good performer. I mean, you see her in the show. She's also killed it. So, I'm just really happy for her that she's finding all the love and appreciation that she deserves. And she found the love of her life too."
Further talking about being a part of Jennifer's wedding festivities, Harleen shared details about the Goa wedding, saying, "The wedding was all heart. So her blessing ceremony and her other functions were here. She basically wanted to celebrate with her close people, her friends, her family because when she got married in the UK, not a lot of people could travel. It was a few days of mad celebration, love, warmth, you know, in Goa. Both Will and Jenny are amazing people."
She also spoke about the Haldi function that happened before the UK wedding ceremony in July, saying, "The Haldi actually happened before the UK wedding in Bombay. So, you know, the functions were spread across a couple of months."
The actress also spoke about facing rejections in the industry, "It has never been that I have taken rejections as rejections. I've always taken it as maybe this was not meant for me and something better will come."
"But other than that also, over a period of time, you start to realise that it's a business, and those selections are not happening purely on the basis of talent sometimes. A lot of economics is involved. And then I feel you start to understand that it's okay, that no one's doing this to you purposely, and you're not a bad actor," she adds.
She further shares, "Earlier, when you start off in the industry, you also take it a lot more personally. And it takes you a while. Sometimes it has happened that I've gone through almost three rounds of auditions. And last minute, I get to know that, like, you know, they got like an A-lister and they've gone ahead with that. So a lot of the times I've missed out on projects because of that."
