For actors, stepping into character is more than slipping into costume or reciting lines; it’s a deeply personal ritual that often begins well before the cameras roll. From calming the mind to preparing the voice, each artist finds their unique rhythm to get into character.
&TV artist Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan) opens up about her distinctive pre-shoot habits that help her stay focused, energized, and performance-ready. Geetanjali Mishra aka Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan shares, “Before every shot, I make it a point to walk barefoot on the studio lawn for a few minutes. While it might seem unconventional, this simple practice helps me feel grounded and connected to the environment. It brings a sense of calm and clarity, especially before diving into the high-energy scenes we shoot.”
Geetanjali Mishra said she once read about the concept of ‘earthing’, walking barefoot on natural surfaces to reduce stress, improve mood, and restore balance. “Over time, it has become my ritual, almost like pressing a reset button before I fully immerse myself in the character of Rajesh,” she added.
