Stuti Vinkle, known for her portrayal of the innocent and naive Phooli in Sun Neo’s show Saajha Sindoor, is taking her acting skills to the next level by stepping into a double role in the show. Recently, Stuti has been seen in a surprising new role, portraying the character of Katari, a complex and negative personality. Transitioning between these two drastically different roles is a challenge Stuti has embraced with excitement, transforming herself to capture the essence of each character.
Reflecting on her journey with the role of Katari, Stuti shared, “I always thought I could do anything, but only now I’m really feeling it, and it's such a thrill! When I first got to know about the character of Katari, I was nervous. I never imagined I could take on a negative role because I’ve always been a bit scared of them. I’d think, "Can I really pull this off?" But as I started exploring Katari’s character and understanding how to bring her to life, it became fun. It felt like a challenge I was ready to accept.”
She further expressed her thoughts on transitioning between Phooli and Katari, saying, “Switching from positive roles to playing someone as negative as Katari was a big transition for me. I had to work on my voice, my walk, and small gestures unique to Katari. Even my expressions changed—I had to hold intense eye contact in a way that made me look really menacing! There were moments where I struggled to hold onto that negative vibe, but slowly, it all fell into place. Seeing how much everyone liked it boosted my confidence.”
