As Anandi, Avika Gor won
the hearts of audiences across the country and even months after her
track has ended, she will be best remembered as the beloved 'Balika
Vadhu' whose innocence and charm lit up the screen every night and
catapulted her to the big league of endorsements and television
celebdom.
A bubbly Avika is now back in a new, revamped avatar in another daily, Sasural Simar Ka.
Her
screen character, claims the perky teenager is a mirror image of her
real self and is a "is a happy go lucky girl who is very fond of
watching TV." Ask her if she misses Balika Vadhu considering
the show was instrumental in making her a household name and she admits
that even now she makes it a point to "watch the episodes" and is
"simply loving the twist in the tale." Avika confesses that the prime
time show will always hold a "special place" in her heart since it
"helped" her to make new friends" and "meet people" who "loved my
character and showered their love and blessings on me. In fact, people
still love me as Anandi. I still visit the sets of Balika Vadhu to meet
Surekha Sikri and the others I've worked with."
Avika who's just
done a cameo in Paathshaala, says , "In case of a TV show, we wrap up
many scenes in a single day, in films shots are not canned until they
are perfect. So, the pace of work is more relaxed." Avika's next is a
film with Priyadarshan.
All of 14, Avika plans to enter beauty
pageants sometime in the near future. Even though she's working round
the clock, Avika is very particular about studies. She says, "In the
morning, I attend school, after that I go for shoots. My tutor comes to
my sets to help me catch up. I'd like to study mass communication or
some course related to film and television work."
Being a Gujarati,
Avika loves coming to Ahmedabad, "I love to meet my relatives here. And
the food is so awesome, particularly the Gujarati thali that I love to
relish every bite." On this perky note, she resumes her shoot.
