Swara Bhasker: I'm offered many 'tough women' roles

"I get offered a lot of 'tough' strong woman parts. I think it's always interesting to play the character in a way where in places you play it against the writing. So, find the moment where you can show the resilience of a shy and meek character; or the vulnerability of a strong character. I think 'Mimamsa' gave me a few such worthy moments," Swara tells IANS.

Actress Swara Bhasker will soon be seen playing an investigative officer in the film 'Mimamsa'. The actress says that she is often offered action-packed, strong characters.

Swara's character, Adhira Dixit, in the film deals with the mind of a serial killer. To understand the psychology of criminal minds better, the actress met with clinical psychologists to ask questions about how a criminal mind functions.

"More than understanding criminal psychology I was interested in understanding what must happen to the psyche of cops and law enforcement - they are human after all," she says.

The actress adds: "What does constant exposure to crime and brutality do to their mindset. What kind of coping mechanism do people adopt? What does that defence mechanism do to their personality? I tried to build my character from those insights."
