The Story in Brief
Actress Vedika Pinto says her Netflix series 'Musafir Café', which premiered on July 24, has brought her the most validation and appreciation from viewers. The romantic drama, based on Divya Prakash Dubey's novel, stars Vikrant Massey and Mahima Makwana. Pinto told IANS she was drawn to the character Sudha for her confidence and instinct-driven nature.
In a separate interview with the Times of India, Pinto opened up about her shy childhood and bullying, and how earlier projects like 'Liggi' and working with Anurag Kashyap helped her shed inhibitions. She also addressed criticism that Sudha is a 'red flag', arguing that the character is simply choosing herself, which makes some viewers uncomfortable.
The Indian Opinion
The backlash against Sudha being called a 'red flag' reveals a discomfort with women who choose themselves. Vedika Pinto rightly points out that 'selfish' is treated as a bad word. But is it fair to judge a character who, despite her flaws, is ambitious and unapologetic? The real test will be whether audiences embrace such complexity in future shows, or revert to demanding sanitised, likeable heroines.
