The madness prevails
Tara Alisha Berry, who has been seen in the Telugu films ‘100% Love’ and ‘Money Money, More Money’, is back in the limelight with the season 2 of hit web series ‘Love Lust and Confusion’. Tara, who portrays the role of Paroma Sarkar in the youth-centric show says, “My role in this show is different from the last season. You can see that in the teaser of season 2, Poroma is trying to be vigilant with her list and achieve the goals that she decided. I hope the audience like the performance and me in that character.”
How similar is Paroma to Tara? “I am not at all like Paroma in real life. However, I do think that all the characters in the series are relatable. I can relate to each and every character. In the first season, Poroma was exploring herself for the things that she wants. I think every person in life is figuring out what they want and how they want to be. Even the other characters like Molly, who is a strong woman. She is clear about the things she wants to do, that’s something that I can relate to. Same goes with Nikita, who is a free-spirited woman. The writer of the show Victory Mukherjee has written each and every character very well.”
About the title, she shares, “I think everyone fits into all the three emotions of the title. In my opinion, everybody goes through all these three emotions at one point of time in their lives.”
Tara’s Poroma Sarkar is a 26-year-old illustrator journalist in the show. The season 1 of the series is a comedy of errors and a coming of age story. Revolving around the life of a young girl Poroma Sarkar, ‘Love Lust and Confusion’ season 1 is a depiction of the age of indecisiveness, the age of physical exploration and the age of confusion.
About what the audience can expect from Tara in season 2, she says, “The better person to answer this question is my director as he knows me well. I am very lucky that I have been given this opportunity; because what more could I possibly want as an actor. I am very grateful to Victory for giving me this opportunity. All I can say that I have been given something amazing to act.”
So, what does Tara do when she is not working? “In my free time, I binge watch shows. I also love reading. I am currently watching ‘You’ on Netflix and I am also really looking forward to watching ‘Selection Day’, which I have not seen yet. I have worked with Shiv Pandit in this season and I am a huge fan of him.”
‘Love Lust and Confusion’ is now available on Viu and has actors such as Rajat Barmecha, Meiyang Chang, Gaurav Chopra in pivotal roles. There are some new faces such as Swati Vatssa, Diksha Juneja, Sanjay Suri will also be joining the gang in season 2.
