Diana Penty reveals the most important quality of an actor
"what you bring to the screen... should be independent of your personal equation - Diana Penty"

Mumbai, Jan 4

Actress Diana Penty, who was recently seen in the streaming show 'Do You Wanna Partner', spoke about how it's imperative for a good actor to look beyond personal relationships with their co-actors, and deliver what's required from them.

The actress spoke with IANS during the promotions of 'Do You Wanna Partner', and said that though she had a great camaraderie with her co-star Tamannaah Bhatia while working on the show, she is quite clear in her head about her process which is detached from personal relationships.

The actress told IANS, "As a good actor, you're supposed to either way, whether you get along with somebody, you don't get along with what you bring to the screen and to the character should be independent of your personal equation. So, that is a basis of how good an actor or not you are. But in this case, I feel like we were also lucky that we got along and that it was just effortless off screen as well. So, it was much easier to bring that energy on screen and into all the scenes".

Talking about her camaraderie with Tamannaah Bhatia, she said, "So, I don't think we struggled with that at all. It just flowed very naturally and we were able to improvise a lot in the scenes as well because we had a great rapport and chemistry off screen".

"We were comfortable enough with each other to be able to take that liberty to say things to each other, you know, you know, whatever it was not like this formal equation where we have to be careful of what we're going to say to each other. So, I think that really helped and we were lucky that, you know, we had that equation. But it's very interesting", she added.

It's a very mature take. We've seen so many films where off-screen drama affects on-screen chemistry. An actor must be able to compartmentalise.

Respectfully, while I agree with the sentiment, isn't this just stating the obvious? This is Acting 101. Maybe the bar is set too low in our industry if this is considered insightful.

Her chemistry with Tamannaah was fantastic in the show! It's great when the off-screen bond translates so well on screen. Makes the viewing experience so much better.

Absolutely correct. At the end of the day, it's a job. You don't have to like your colleague, but you must deliver what the script and director demand. More actors should think like this.
