hey archana aj rain mein bhi kitni achee lag rahi thi ....awesome superb scene ................
What is your character in the show like?
I essay the role
of a simple Maharashtrian girl Archana on the show. My character is
very real and all girls of my age will be able to relate to her. Her
first priority in life is her mother and she will go to any lengths to
keep her mother happy.
Do you have any similarities in real life to your charachter in serial?
Like
my character Archana I am attached to my family. Probably the only
difference is that I fight a lot more with my mother off screen. Also,
I wear only Indian, traditional outfits on the show , otherwise I am
dressed in western attire. My look is completely different but the
nature and personality traits are more or less similar.
What's your background?
I am from Indore and came to
Mumbai for the first time in 2004. My stint with television began when
I took part in Cinestars Ki Khoj. The show was a good experience and
after that I did print ads and catalogues.
You also played the lead in Bali Umar Ko Salaam.
Yes,
I was doing that serial, but it never took off. Till date, I have no
idea why the show went off air. In a way I guess it was a good thing to
happen because I bagged a Balaji show after that.
How is the chemistry with your co-stars?
I have a
great working relationship with my on screen mother Savita Prabhune.
She has been around for a long time and knows the industry inside out.
She is a great source of encouragement for me and pushes me to do my
best.
How are you adjusting to your hectic shooting schedules?
We
are shooting day and night because we hardly have a bank of episodes.
It is hectic, but then this is what I always wanted to do. Instead of
complaining, I should be happy because there are so many people out
there who are waiting for an opportunity to come their way.
How did your family react to you doing a daily show?
Initially,
my mother couldn't come to terms with the fact that I was doing a
Balaji show. She kept checking and re- confirming the news. My father
didn't want me to get into acting, but after seeing my role he is very
happy.
How is your relationship with Ekta Kapoor?
I had
heard so much about her that I was scared when I met her for the first
time. But I realised she is a warm person when I met her. She is very
hardworking and extracts the best performance out of her actors. It
feels great to be a part of Balaji.
Is the show's storyline similar to that of Kkusum?
Except
for the relationship between the mother and daughter, Pavitra Rishta is
completely different. This show is about how the protagonist Archana
manages the affairs of her home single-handedly despite her lack of
education. She is born in a middle class family and continues that way
whereas in Kkusum the female protagonist gets married into a rich
family. The story is very different.
