I got into acting not just for the glamour : Neha Sargam
If you think, social networking sites are just for fun, you are mistaken. They can mean serious business too. Ask Karan Kundra, if you have any doubts. Ekta Kapoor discovered Kundra on a social networking forum and was so impressed by his credentials that she immediately offered him Kitni Mohabbat Hai. The rest, as we all know, is history. Kundra has become the heartthrob of thousands of girls across the country. Neha Sargam is another example.
From Patna, Neha is currently acting in Rajan Shahi's Chaand Chupa Badal Mein.
Neha had participated in the auditions for Indian Idol 4 , but destiny had something else in store for her. She couldn't make it to the second audition after meeting with a road accident where she injured herself and was down with a throat infection. "A well-wisher uploaded the audition on You Tube and Rajan Shahi saw that footage and called me. Rajan Sir mentioned about his popular shows, Bidaai and Yeh Rishta. I was completely confused when he called me. I was wondering, why would he call me? Only after some time he told me he has conceived a show where the lead protagonist is like me. He asked me to come down to Mumbai for the look test which he said was a formality," recalls Neha. The rest of it was a dream-come-true for her. "It is like a Cinderella story. I was aspiring to do an MBA having completed my graduation from Patna college in advertisement and sales promotion and marketing. But then I came to Mumbai and started a different career altogether," the actress says.
Neha is playing Nivedita who is very hesitant and an introvert. "She belongs to a middle-class family in Simla. She loses her mother very young and is completely protected within her family. But in her own way she is very strong and a motherly figure to her brother and father," explains Neha about her character. "This is my first ever brush with acting. Thankfully Rajan Sir organised a one-week acting workshop for me. It was conducted by veteran actress Amardeep Jha. I am very thankful to her. Whatever I am performing, I owe it to her. She made us exercises related to acting. It was of great help," explains Neha.
Neha is quite confident that ultimately she will create a niche in the singing world too. "I feel acting is a link to my singing career," says the aspiring singer. Neha's maternal grandfather -- Padamsri Pandit Siyaram Tewari -- was a great Dhrupad maestro. "I belong to a musical family and will certainly do something related to music." Then why did she step into acting? For glamour? "It's not only the glamour. It was about the opportunity. As a singer you emote a lot so that is helping me a lot to perform," she retorts.

Abhishek Tiwari has entered the dazzling TV-world with ace
serial-maker Rajan Shahi's new show Chand Chhupa Badal Mein. The
newcomer was excited to interact with media at the launch of the show
and spoke of how the beginner luck worked for him. Scroll down to find
out what he has left behind to be part of the show.
This is your first serial, so what have you been doing so
far?
I am from Dehradun. I have done my BCA and also a
course in Aviation and Hospitality. I am brought up in Simla and Delhi
and have done a music video with Bhupeshji which has not yet released.
From where did the germ of acting come in you?
I
use to do lot of modeling when I was in college, and acting was always
there at the back of my mind. I remember when I was young I use to
colour my face and act in front of mirror. I don't know why but whatever
I did, I felt incomplete although I was doing well.
Then, how did you go about pursuing it?
I am
the only son. My father is scientist and my mother is homemaker, so I
had no background in acting. But after I completed my studies, I came to
Mumbai and enrolled in acting school. This was the first audition I
gave and I bagged the role too, so I consider myself lucky in terms of
getting break in first attempt. I thank god that I didn't have to
struggle much.
How was it facing camera for the first time?
The
entry shot in the serial is my first encounter with camera. I was
excited more than being nervous. The team has shown so much of
confidence in me that nervousness vanished, when I was in front of the
camera.
Are you confident about this show?
When I got to
know that the offer is of Rajan Shahi's serial I was keen to take up,
as I have been following his shows Yeh Rishta' and Bidaai and have liked
them too. So I am very confident that our hard work will be paid.
How has been the experience of working?
When you
are acting you live life that is not your own. Doing a daily is like
you have to adapt to the lifestyle that your character lives and also
carry the look of it so as of now I am in that phase. I hope that it
connects with the audience.
So how's your family reacting to the fact that you have
bagged Rajan Shahi's show?
They are excited but they are
missing me too. It's been nine months I have not seen them.
Since you are new to Mumbai, how do you find the place?
Mumbai
is very busy place. Here, professional growth is faster than compared
to other cities. Still I love my native place Dehradun very much for its
soothing beauty.

Informs our source, "Risshma and Manish are seeing each other for more than a year now. Apparently, Manish is a little possessive about his lady love. Both of them are serious about the relationship."The following 2 member(s) liked the above post:
