Mumbai, July 5 (TIWN) Aahana Kumra, who plays an antagonist in the counter-insurgency action drama 'Avrodh 2', says that playing a negative role involves a risk because the audience either loves or just hates the character.

In the show, she plays an undercover agent who unleashes financial terrorism by pumping fake notes into the country. This is the first time that the actress, who first attracted notice in 'Lipstick Under My Burkha', is playing a negative role.

"Playing a negative character is risky because people might just completely hate the character or after knowing the backstory, start loving her or show empathy to the character. 'Saman' is actually quite shrewd and mean. Of course, she has her reasons but she is really a dark-minded and yet very intelligent woman. I have played police officers earlier and other characters who are righteous. But this one was something I have never done, so it was exciting," she said.
