Gauahar Khan says Mithun Chakraborty is a natural performer, loved working with him in Bestseller

Gauahar Khan and Mithun Chakraborty's new web series Bestseller is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The actress said that working with Mithun Da was a dream come true.

Gauahar Khan plays Mayanka in the new web series Bestseller on Amazon Prime Video. The actress is seen alongside Mithun Chakraborty, Shruti Haasan and Arjan Bajwa in the thriller. In an exclusive chat with IndiaToday.in Gauahar Khan said that working with the Mithun Da was a dream come true for her.

Bestsellers premiered on Amazon Prime Video on February 18. Speaking about sharing the screen space with Mithun Chakraborty in the series, Gauahar Khan said, "Working with Mithun Da was a dream come true. There is so much I got to learn from him. Just the way he was on set and the way he interacted with people. And how natural he is. He comes from an era where actors were supposed to be OTT. They were supposed to be over the top in their expression and action. he has done a lot of that as well. But the true actor in him, I think he was an FTII student and he is such a natural performer. He is so real. Loved working with him. "

Talking about her character in the series, Gauahar Khan said, "I play Mayanka, which I think is a very interesting name. She is a person who has to deal with her professional and personal life differently. In her personal life, she is a naive, vulnerable wife, who wants to keep her husband happy. She wants to give him confidence in his work while he is dealing with failures and problems. And in her workspace, she is the complete opposite. She is a go-getter, a strong-headed leader of sorts. She leads an advertising company. So, her contrasting personalities, I think that is very interesting to watch in Bestseller. And how she deals with it when everyone's lives get intertwined."

Gauahar was one of the first ones to be roped in for Bestsellers. Siddharth P Malhotra had sent her the script when they were just in the writing stage. "Siddharth told me that he really wanted me to do Mayanka and started sending me the scripts. As in when the episodes kept coming to me, I thought Mayanka was a very very important and integral part of how the story moves forward. The impact that it has on Mayanka's life and the contribution that Mayanka makes to the story going forward (is immense). The way I see Bestseller is 5 to 6 people's parallel life stories and how they are completely in connection with each other, making it even more complex. And Mayanka is a key factor in that," she added.
