TV actress Avika Gor, who became popular for her role as Anandi in "Balika Vadhu", was so impressed with director Priyadarshan during the shooting of "Tezz" that she now wants to become his assistant.

"I have always admired Priyadarshan as a director and Anil Kapoor as an actor. Priyadarshan is a well-known director and I shot for around six days with him and it was really an eye opener. I am now thinking of turning an assistant director to Priyadarshan," said Avika in a statement.

Earlier, she was seen in Shahid Kapoor starrer "Paathshala".

"Tezz" also stars Ajay Devgn, Kangana Ranaut and Sameera Reddy. It releases April 27.

"The entire experience of working in 'Tezz' was wonderful. The entire unit was sweet to me. I also met Sonam Kapoor, who appreciated me as an actor. It feels good to be appreciated by actresses like Sonam. I also had few scenes with Boman Irani and Mohanlal, which taught me a lot," she said.

They have not only become off-screen buddies but the onscreen chemistry is also working for the show. Manish has taken up photography as a hobby and Gor has become his muse. However, clicking Avika wasn't a conscious move but just a part of him clicking everybody on the set. So did Avika consent easily? "She is one hell of a sport and is up and ready for everything.

Jokes apart, I did ask her parents for permission as she is a child, and they happily obliged. Ironically, both Avika and I struggled for a week to get glycerine for one particular picture which usually is the easiest thing available to all of us on the set. I had seen something similar on the net a while back and when I saw Avika crying during the scene, it just occurred to me that I can do something on those lines," says the actor. Well, what about holding an exhibition of your precious photographs, Manish?

Apart from essaying the male lead opposite a much younger Avika Gor in Colors' Sasural Simar Ka, Manish Raisinghani shares a unique relationship with the girl off screen too.

The engineer-turned-actor (currently pursuing web designing and computer programming) and Gor, a class ninth student, are study buddies. Both of them are passionate about their studies and bring books along on the sets and can often be seen studying together. Manish says, "It's quite fun to be paired opposite someone who is half my age. Avika is full of life and a chatterbox. She's an extremely inquisitive person. And the best part is that is she loves her job the way I do! We like studying together and keep motivating each other." When asked about how people react to this odd pairing, the actor says, "We still haven't had many scenes together but I am sure people will find it quite refreshing as her character will tone down the aggressiveness of my character." Well, this is quite a fun off-screen bonding!
