New Delhi, July 23 : "To portray the emotions of a character effectively, it is important to understand her back story. The same may not show in the expressions, but the actor must live with it to do complete justice. And that is where theatre training comes in," says actor Sampa Mandal, who was recently seen in the movie 'Sherni as Jyoti, the tribal woman.
A pass-out of Capital's National School of Drama (NSD), Mandal, who was also seen in the film 'Sonchiriya', 'Maxim Gorky's Mother' (Bengali) and the web-series 'All About Section 377', stresses that not only has theatre fine-tuned her as an actor but has also been instrumental in shaping her as a person. "It has developed my thinking, and instincts. The art form teaches you how to 'build' a character. Rest is all about effective presentation."
