Actress Maanvi Gagroo said her hit web series Four More Shots Please! helped her shed off her girl-next-door image.

The 37-year-old actor, known for her work in series TVF Pitchers and TVF Tripling as well as in movies Ujda Chaman and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, said Amazon Original Four More Shots Please! had pushed her career in a positive direction.

“Till Four More Shots Please! happened, I was getting roles that were girl-next-door. So, in terms of presenting myself in a glamorous and fashionable way, this show is something I had never done before,” she said.

“Suddenly people started taking me seriously and it also helped me gain the currency of social media following, which is very important in today's time and age,” Maanvi also said.

The actress further said that she was getting “interesting” offers and was happy to have the privilege of “pick and choose”.

“The kind of offers I am getting now are interesting... Thankfully, I am in a place where I can pick and choose. I would consider this as a privilege because a lot of actors don’t have that. I myself didn't have it till a few years ago. I wish this good fortune continues,” she explained.

Four More Shots Please!, produced by Pritish Nandy Communications and created by Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy, is a celebration of “female friendship, love, being unapologetically yourself and accepting yourself wholly”. Also starring Kirti Kulhari, Sayani Gupta and Bani J, the third season is directed by well-known ad filmmaker Joyeeta Patpatia.

“The show is about friendship; it is about female friendship and how empowering that can be or should be. It is about their personal journey, and we are sure it resonates with some people and that there are different takeaways for different people,” she added.

In season three of the show, Gagroo said, the four lead characters will be seen grappling with grief in their own different ways. “Season three has been a transformative experience.”
