As 'Mirzapur Season 2' clocks one year, Rasika Dugal talks about her Beena Tripathi role

As the second season of one of the most celebrated crime-thriller series Mirzapur clocks one year today, actor Rasika Dugal spoke about her 'puppeteer of power' character Beena Tripathi. The strong-willed Beena, who is Kaleen Bhaiya's wife, is shown to use norms to her advantage as she paves her way to manipulate men in the patriarchal Tripathi family. After years of being suffering at the hands of a male-dominated family, Beena Tripathi cleverly plays every single male character to her advantage.

Congratulating the cast and crew of Mirzapur Season 2 for clocking a year, Rasika stated that essaying Beena's role has been a creatively enriching journey for her. Pointing out the stark differences between Beena and her, she said that 'Beena is everything I am not', a fact that made her journey 'so much fun'. She also mentioned that it's great to be a part of a series that has stayed in the public purview for so long.
