‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’ actress Patralekhaa feels overwhelmed being in the limelight after a decade of hard work. “I was not expecting this, honestly,” she says. In an exclusive interaction with mid-day.com, Patralekhaa gets candid about starring in the Anubhav Sinha directorial web series that garnered rave reviews. She speaks about her most-talked-about scenes, and how the show impacted her mentally and physically.  

Patralekhaa was not offered ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’

Patralekhaa says, “I wasn't offered the show. I went after Mr. Sinha. I knew he was writing the script. I met him and was like, ‘I want a part in the show’. He said, ‘Yaar abhi toh main kuch nahi bol sakta ho, kyunki main bas likh raha hoon, uh, isko pakne de dekhte hai’. Then every month I kept following up with him. I'm sure he must have gotten a little irritated with me.”
