"From being unsure about what she wanted to do in life to finding a work-life balance, Kavya has matured into a responsible adult and a doting partner. I relate to that growth, and relate to Kavya in the third season the most," says Palkar, whose endearing performance in the love story has fetched her a Best Actor (Female) nomination in the upcoming mid-day and Radio City Hitlist Web Awards.
Dice Media's Little Things began on YouTube in 2016, and was later picked up by Netflix. "It had an instant connect with the audience because of its universal story of [two people navigating] a relationship," reasons the actor. The idea for a long-format series came about after Dhruv Sehgal and she did two sketches with FilterCopy. "That's when producer Ashwin Suresh suggested that Dhruv write those sketches to adapt to a longer format."
There have been several fun-filled moments during the shoot. "The tennis court scene in the eighth episode of season three is one of our favourites. It was one of the most challenging sequences to shoot and Ruchir Arun, the director of that episode, was ambitious about it. We spent an entire night filming it," she laughs.
The actor, who featured in the Irrfan and Dulquer Salmaan starrer Karwaan (2018), is hoping to gain a foothold in Bollywood while balancing her digital commitments. There has been talk that a fourth season of Little Things is on the cards. Ask Palkar, and she smiles, "You will know soon."
