Close Up:Divyanka[Vidya]

How did you get your break with Zee TV?
I have a very old relationship with Zee. I had won the title of Miss Beautiful Skin at their Zee Teen Queen contest in Delhi. Later, I also participated in Zee India's Best. Serials were a natural progression.

Are films on your mind?
No, not really! I hadn't even thought that serials would happen! Currently, I am giving television my best shot. Later, if I get good, challenging roles in films then, yes, I will move on.

What is your character in Dulhann like?
I play Vidya, a very simple girl, who always thinks good of others and draws her strength from others' happiness. She has a special relationship with Lord Shiva. Her personality is very bubbly but she is also serious and dedicated.

Can you relate to her?
Totally. She is a small-town girl from Benaras while I am from Bhopal. We both prefer traditional clothing and we both find our happiness in the happiness of others. This also makes it easy for me to portray her character.
I don't have to be too different from what I really am.

Any future projects in the pipeline?
I did get many offers; some for advertisements and even one film offer, but my schedule is so tight that I couldn't even go for the audition! Since I have no time I cannot make any new commitments, right?

What kind of roles do you want to experiment with?
Anything different! I could play the role of a mentally challenged individual or also someone like Kareena Kapoor in Chameli. I would love to do a negative role but I know that bringing about a negative thought process will be very difficult for me.
