My character drives the story in Masoom, says Samara Tijori

Samara Tijori, daughter of yesteryear actor Deepak Tijori, is making her web-series debut with Disney+ Hotstar’s Masoom (2022). The show is a psychological thriller and this is why the actress was keen to do it.

“The reason I said yes to Masoom was the script, the set-up of the story, the entire background," Samara Tijori said in a statement. "Everything was very interesting for someone like me who enjoys psychological thrillers. It is one of my favourite genres."

Directed by Mihir Desai, Masoom also marks the OTT debut of veteran actor Boman Irani who plays Samara's father in the show.

Masoom is about a woman falling to her death from her bed and her daughter, played by Samara, suspecting her father of foul play.

What Samara liked about her character is that it has a lot to do in the show. “She is driving it and I think that’s one of the best opportunities I could have got, because I am getting to play a lot of layers as an actor,” she added.

“I am getting to showcase a lot of things, my skills, and I think that was very important for me. So for me it was the script; obviously [also] Guru [actor Gurmeet Singh] and Mihir, because I really loved their work and my character. These three were the main reasons why I said yes to the show.”

Last year, Samara made her feature film debut with the Abhishek Bachchan-starrer Bob Biswas (2021).
