Commenting on her experience portraying a queer character, Shreya Gupto, said, ‘I remember watching Amol Palekar’s Quest in college and getting curious about sexuality, troubles faced by various communities in society. Eventually when I was diving into this curiosity I started understanding the LGBTQ community from a closer lens. I watched Margarita with a straw and was so awestruck. I have friends who are queer and absolutely wanted to be part of a queer story someday. Call it the law of attraction, I came across this character in Dice Media’s Firsts season 3 and was crossing my fingers to get on board.. Voilà! And here we are! I feel extremely grateful & PROUD to be representing the LGBTQIA+ community through this series.’
Sharing her experience, Himika Bose says, “I am very excited for the audience to watch this, not just as an LGBTQIA+ themed show, but as a normal relatable love story. Love is love; and it’s about time people start respecting and accepting that, irrespective of the genders involved. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to play such a bold character as Lavanya. She is a person who wears her heart off her sleeve and speaks her mind. She is funny but at the same time extremely passionate about her work. I quite resonate with her on many levels. The character has taught me a lot in-fact, and I am definitely going to take so much more back with me from her as well as the show. I can’t wait for everyone to watch it and feel the magic we felt when we shot it.”
While Firsts Season 1 & 2 received an overwhelming response from fans across the country, No doubt this time also Dice Media has pushed the bar with a whole new exciting story in ‘Firsts’ Season 3.
