SHRUTI SETH

Actor on collaborating with Purab Kohli for ‘36 Days’

ctors Shruti Seth and Purab Kohli will be seen sharing screen space in ‘36
Days’. Purab and Shruti have known each other for years, yet this is their first
Atime sharing the screen after their initial days as VJs.
Elaborating on her experience of working with Purab for the first time, Shruti shares,
“Purab and I have shared our initial days as VJs, and though we’ve been in the industry
for a very long time, this was the first time in so many years that we got to collaborate
creatively as co-stars. Meeting after so long all the catching up was happening between
taken and so much so that our director, Vishal had to request us to stop talking.”
Sharing about their shared interest, she added, “Beyond our shared love for our craft,
we both have a similar passion for food. Most of our time off camera was spent exploring new food places in Goa. It’s my
favorite pastime, and it became a running joke on set: if you wanted to find a place to order from, you just had to reach out to Shruti
Seth--she knows it all.”
