Ruhii Singh: While growing up all my action heroes were women

Social media influencer and actress Ruhii Singh said all her favourite action heroes since childhood were women, and she drew inspiration from them while essaying a no-nonsense cop in Ekta Kapoor's new web series Bang Baang: The Sound Of Crimes.

"While growing up all my action heroes were women. My favourite action hero was Xena the Warrior Princess and I also love Wonder Woman. I love Angelina Jolie and the kind of roles she has played, and I have always wanted to play something similar. The femme fatale. I think, is a very interesting genre and an interesting zone to be in," Ruhii told IANS.

Talking about her role, she said: "My character's name is Meera. She is a goal-oriented and ambitious girl, extremely hardworking and a no-nonsense cop out to get justice."

Jaipur girl Ruhii is trained in martial arts, kickboxing and parkour and hence performing her stunts was not difficult.

"In Bang Baang, I have actually done all my stunts. We never had a body double for me. I'm trained in martial arts, kickboxing and parkour, so it was fun -- especially during the chase sequences where I'm driving a car, and shooting guns and fighting. We had a great time shooting," she shared.

Bang Baang: The Sound Of Crimes is directed by Shraddha Pasi Jairath and also features popular social media star Mr. Faisu. The series streams on ALTBalaji and Zee5.
