Regina’s two recent projects- ‘Saakini Daakini’ and ‘Shoorveer’ saw her playing characters that are part of the forces. Terming all the roles ‘quite different', Regina said, “This is the first time I am playing a cop. In ‘Shoorveer’, I played an air force pilot. In ‘Saakini Daakini’ I was a police trainee. Although it is all part of the force, there is so much to do, and so many stories to tell, I think it is important for everyone to see this. I think it is educative in a way plus there is liberty where you can add in fiction, you can add in so many things, so it really depends. Every filmmaker is different in their way of telling a story. In ‘Saakini Daakini’, I play a 19-20-year-old who is gone into police academy training and is young. In ‘Jaanbaaz’, I am playing a 34-35-year-old Superintendent. It is a very different treatment. What I really liked in the first season of ‘Jaanbaaz’, Srijit (Mukherji) sir has shown the balance in Kavya Iyer's life where there is an equal  amount of struggle in the personal and professional life of a woman.”

The show also has an interesting ensemble cast including Barun Sobti, Sumeet Vyas, Mita Vashisht, Gayathrie Shankar, and Chandan Roy. “I think our cast has a great set of actors. You will see Sumeet in a very different avatar which is something I am looking forward to. I think he has done absolute justice to the role. Mita ma'am, she plays the head of NIA. She is top-notch. I was so happy to get to work with her and we had quite a few scenes together. Even working with Gayathrie, she is a star in the south. We are friends and never got to work together. It is nice to see the south infiltrating national content that the national audience can watch. I was very fortunate to share different bonds with each person,” she added.

While Regina has some really intense scenes in the series and plays a rather serious character, she says that she is not one of those actors who stays in character outside of action and cut. “I have never been like that. I have always been the kind of actor who the moment the director says cut cannot be in character. I am a very quiet person on set unless I am spoken to or I need to talk. I am not necessarily quiet. I don’t know, but I am not always in character for sure. I don't believe in that.”

Regina had earlier said that it was only after the response to 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga' did she realize the kind of impact cinema and actors can have on people. When asked if she is more mindful of the impact her choice of roles will have, she said, “Yes, and no. For me, it is important, what I am putting out there for sure. That has always been the thought process behind doing anything. But I am more aware of the impact that it creates because as you do more work and as more people see you, you are get more recognition. So yes, I am pretty mindful of the roles that I play. But do I now necessarily think that I am doing this to create an impact, and this has to? No. But I am very mindful of what I am doing.”
