Diana Penty on her character in Do You Wanna Partner
Speaking to Lokmata Times, Diana Penty, who essays the role of Anahita, shared that her character is something she has never done before. She said that Anahita isn’t a demure girl like she has played earlier, nor is she one of the boisterous characters the actress has portrayed before.
"She’s the most real person I’ve played so far. One of the first discussions I had with the makers was about keeping the show as real as possible, and that’s what makes it so special, each character has been cast so perfectly. For my character, we drew a lot from my own personal experiences, things that might have happened to all of us, which makes it so real, relatable, and believable," Diana shared.
Speaking about the challenges of portraying Anahita, Diana said that it was definitely challenging but also 'extremely satisfying', because you get so much more to explore and really go into the depth of a character, something you do get in films, but not as much and not as often.
"Since it’s a female-led show, or rather an ensemble where the women are at the forefront, running a business together, it was both demanding and rewarding. We shot it in just 50 days, which added to the challenge, but at the same time, made the experience incredibly fulfilling," Diana said.
