Read on: When Sarika Raina actually got drunk for her role...

Actress Sarika Raina, who has been roped for essaying the role of Amrita on Balaji Telefilms' newly launched show 'Naagin' has done a lot of preparations for playing this role.

The character Amrita, who is always shown drunk on the show, requires Sarika to do a lot of research on how a person acts after getting drunk and for the same, she has extensively worked on herself in order to do justice to her character on the show. Read on to know what all Sarika had to do...

She told us, "I was told by Ekta (Ekta Kapoor) Mam during the naration that my character will always be drunk on the show. This kind of character has never been shown on television. I had no idea about how a person acts after getting drunk, so I had to do some research to prepare myself for playing this role. I started off with watching movies. I watched the movie 'Sharabi' so many times and I also read a lot on the net. I also asked few people around me who drink frequently as how do they feel after getting drunk and what changes they feel in their body."

"One day I thought of experiencing it myself, and hence, I decided to go in a bar alone. I started with wine and then moved on to everything after a gap - Vodka, Whisky and Tequila. After every drink, I tried to observe how I felt after each drink and whether I could relate to what I read on the internet. I also noticed people around me as how were they acting after getting drunk. I am doing everything possible to give a new layer to my character," adds the actress.

Way to go Sarika!
