From theatre to TV and films, actress Delnaaz Irani has done it all. Even after being in the industry for over two decades now, she doesn’t mind going by the book and follow the director strictly, however, she confessed that with comedy it’s different. “I am very much a director’s actor, you tell me what to do and I’ll do that. Comedy comes naturally to me so I go beyond the script in comedy otherwise I am a complete director’s actor. In comedy, it’s impromptu, and I do a lot to the character. I feel it’s up to the director as well as in how well can you leave the artist, otherwise certain people are like ‘no just stick to what is told’ and I am happy with that as well,” she said. Known for her perfect comic timing, Delnaaz has also garnered the audience’s attention with her performance in shows like “Choti Sarrdaarni” or Tata Sky Adbhut Kahaniyan’s “Hijack”. She shared that she wants to do characters that are interesting and leave an impact on the viewers. “I want to portray exciting characters. I always say comedy comes naturally to me, but besides comedy, I would love to do a negative character or play a conventional mom to the hero or the heroine in a social drama. I wouldn’t mind doing a feel-good show wherein there are some characters which are like basic, they are neutral, they are neither negative nor positive, it could be a grey shade. I am open to all kinds of roles now, I don’t want to stick to just one thing,” the “Kal Ho Naa Ho” actress said.
