What was your reaction when you were first offered the role of Cookie in Kasauti Zindagi Kay?

When I was offered Kasauti Zindagi Kay I was really happy and I have watched the first Kasauti when I was younger and I knew the story and character names. Ekta ma’am is known for everything she does and my experience is such that I love working. I am getting so much recognition and appreciation I am very happy that I took this show. 

What is your character detail in the show and how much do you relate to her?

 My character Kukki is a sweetheart, she’s a daughter of Mr. Bajaj and Prerna not a biological daughter but they share a bond. Kukki and her father don’t go well. She loves him as a father but Mr. Bajaj doesn’t give the same love back. Kukki and Prerna share a good mother daughter and a friendship bond. She loves Prerna’s family as well, she’s a girl who looks at the brighter side and expects love from everyone and loves everyone. She’s a loving personality, sensitive. She sees that everybody is happy around her.   I relate to my character a lot. I love to talk too much, my family is my priority and likewise for Kukki. She’s very positive and good at studies. I am a child at heart and I have matured over the time which Kukki hasn't. She's still a kid. Every girl can relate to her but she’s a London return so had to get that style and carrying myself was something I had to prepare.  

Don't you feel the pressure of working in a show which is already a hit?

 I don’t work that way. I don’t take any pressure, of course it takes time to understand the people you are working with but once it's done it’s a delight to work. Infact, I have gotten such great acceptance and response. People really like me and how I am playing the character. The chemistry with Prerna and other actors more than the pressure I am looking forward to making myself better.

What kind of roles would you like to do in future?

I always would prefer characters which have significance in shows which are very meaty parts and Kukki when they explain how Kukki was in the show I was very much convinced with this role. 

How did you become an actor while you were a MBBS doctor already?

I always wanted to be an actor but I didn’t know how to become an actor. Being a small town girl who doesn’t have any remote connections to this industry, a family which pays so much attention to education. I always dreamed of it but I didn’t know how to do it. So I pursued my education in science and studied MBBS from a college in Bangalore. I still wished to act. I joined theatre just to see If I could act so I took acting workshops and I got appreciated for my work though I had to work on my skills but I have got it in me. I finished my studies and I used to go for ads down South. My friends helped me connect with various casting groups where I could go for auditions and that’s how I got into acting.  

What are your strengths as an actor?

My strengths as an actor is I feel I am very relatable. I am that sort of a person and face which people see on screen they think that they can be and relate. I work hard to grasp things and I believe in staying happy and positive. If from within I am positive and work hard it will reflect in my work. I would want to do all types of roles. Being the most negative to most positive characters, every kind of genre. I want to do everything that I can explore for my acting. 

What kind of roles you would not want to do?

There are no roles I want to stay away from, of course it takes strength to do certain characters but I took my last show as a positive challenge where most of them would have refused. It takes guts to take certain roles to do it accurately. I might fear doing it but I would want to do it.
