If the content is good, the medium doesn’t matter: Nimrat Kaur

Nimrat Kaur, who has joined the web-series bandwagon, talks about the difference between working on different mediums.

After enthralling the small screen with international shows like Homeland and Wayward Pines, Nimrat’s recently launched web-series, where she plays an army officer is being talked about. The Test Case, directed by Nagesh Kukunoor is about a woman who plays a combat officer in the web series.

For Nimrat, it was a personally fulfilling journey to play an army officer because her father served in the Indian Army. The subject was what intrigued her to take on the show, says Nimrat.

“If the content is good, the medium doesn’t matter. Of course with the internet you have the advantage of being more life-like because TV is a sanitised medium. There is no censorship on the internet but we are not exploiting that. It would be childish to do that. It is just liberating to operate at a level where you can just be real- as far as your reactions and emotions are concerned.”

There was speculation that the Airlift actor has signed on another international TV show, but she denies it. “That is incorrect news. I haven’t signed anything more than what I am working on,” she says. While she has managed to shy away from doing the ‘conventional Bollywood potboilers’, Nimrat says it is not a deliberate attempt. “I take up whatever interests me. It is not an effort and I can’t specifically pick ‘unconventional’ roles. I want to be able to play a dead body, a tree, an old man, a young woman – all of it. I want to do every role possible.” she says.
