Actually, one of the reasons why I wanted to be a part of this show was because I wanted the opportunity to play two characters. They are both so distinctive and it was challenging to differntiate between the two. Although the different costumes for the two characters helped, I made sure during preparation that I built both the characters to be very distinct from each other in every way--concentrating on difference in the attitudes, personalities, body languages, speech and the way they both carry themselves. Shanu is a very upright, straight forward and no-nonsense professional. She is beautiful, and she knows that she has a certain finesse, but she doesn’t play with her sexuality or uses it as a tool. In fact, when somebody tries to take advantage of that, she responds to it in a stern manner.
