Regina Cassandra has successfully carved a niche for herself with her choices of films and performances not only in the Southern film industry but also in Bollywood.
After making a rather unconventional debut in Hindi films as Sonam Kapoor's love interest in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019), Regina is making the most of the OTT wave with varied projects.
She is currently excited about the season two of her critically well received OTT show Rocket Boys in which she plays dancer Mrinalini Sarabhai, Dr Vikram Sarabhai's wife.
"I had a good run in 2021, 2022, and now, 2023 with Jaanbaaz and Rocket Boys. I take it one step at a time. One day at a time," Regina tells
How does it feel to be back for the second season of Rocket Boys?
Oh, it feels good to be back because this is going to jog my memory now. We won so many awards.
I'm so happy that Abhay (Pannu, the director) shot both seasons almost simultaneously.
The pressure of 'Are we going to live up to season one?' is not there, or at least, it is not as bad as it could have been.
There's a certain sense of detachment because we shot season two, along with season one, at least the majority of my portions, and a little bit later on.
What's your process of getting into the skin of the character, especially when you are playing a real life character?
This happens to be the first time I'm essaying a real life character.
I am playing someone who has such a huge prominence in the world of Indian culture and art. She made a big mark for India.
To have to live up to that was a big responsibility. Mrinalini Sarabhai is a force to reckon with.
