Actress Nirisha Basnett, who is currently seen in the show 'Aashiqana 2', says that she loves being part of it. The actress adds that her character is integral to the story and it is completely opposite of she is in reality.   "I was introduced in Season 2 of 'Aashiqana'. My role is primary and important to the story. My character Jia is extremely smart and elegant yet very mysterious. She is an introvert, while I am an extrovert. That's why it was difficult and challenging for me to play Jia as it took me a while to get into the skin of her character," she says.  Talking about how she bagged the role, Nirisha says: "I was in Nepal when I was told that I have been shortlisted. I had a strange gut feeling that I was destined for this role. It was around 10 a.m. I immediately booked a flight for 4 p.m., the same day, and flew to audition. I was told in an hour of my audition that I got the role and I cried and thanked my lucky stars."  Nirisha has been part of TV shows such as 'Ziddi Dil Maane Na', 'Chandra Nandini', and 'Prithvi Vallabh'.  After doing several TV shows and OTT, the actress shares how she found both the platforms different. "OTT is more well planned, prepared, rehearsed and executed. It's the same with TV, but only in the beginning. After a point, TV eventually runs out of time to do things in detail as they need to submit a full episode the very next day which is a lot of pressure."
