Actress Swastika Mukherjee, who will be seen playing a mother in the courtroom drama 'Criminal Justice', says playing such characters makes her life easier.This is not the first time she will be seen playing a mother, Swastika has earlier played a mum in movies such as 'Dil Bechara' starring late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The daughter of late Bengali star Santu Mukhopadhyay shares how her character as a mother closely mirrors her own personality."Whenever I essay the role of a mother; life becomes easier. The task at hand also becomes easier because the instincts and emotions are always there when you are a mother in your personal life too," Swastika said.
She added: "The only thing required is a trigger which the screenplay gives you. In the series, both the kids are going through misery and are part of a dysfunctional family, so it was important for me to transport both the actors as kids in my mind."
