Momo wonderful post as usual👏
Now Payal get ready for the Grilling 😈This is the first time i will b grilling u😳So here i come with my questions😃
1)What is that one thing which excites u the most about IF? I get to come here and talk endlessly about Apurva without people thinking i'm Crazy! 😉
2)What is that one thing which u would like to change about IF? hmm...will get back to you on this one...
3)What is your advice to Ekta Kapoor about taking 20year leaps every month? 😕 😆 My advice would be simply to find a different way to spice things up...this card has been very overplayed!
4)Which is your favourite food?(indian,chinese,continental,any other)why? Indian b/c there is a lot of variety, and I love spicy food!
5)Which is your fav holiday spot?why? I love vacationing in India b/c I don't get to do it often enough, but, the Dominican Republic is Paradise!!
6)Who is your all-time fav on-screen hindi film couple?why? Kajol and SRK b/c they're very comfortable with one another and also very natural in their craft, so when they're on screen together, they just draw you into their characters lives.
7)Which is your all-time fav hindi song?why? I can't pick just one, so I'll try to narrow it down to three:
1) Jagjit and Chitra's "Kiska Chehra"
2) Shaan's "Issi ko pyaar kehte hai"
3) Lata Mangeshkar's "Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya"
The first two send chills down my spine and the last one has been a favorite for as long as I can remember.
8)Which is your all-time fav english song?why? "I don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith from the Armageddon soundtrack - Its one of the sweetest love songs ever
9)Who is your fav singer?(hindi and english) Hindi would be Lataji and Kishore Kumar, and English - Tracy Chapman
10)What is your fav beverage?tea or coffe?why? tea and coffee - it depends on what I'm in the mood for. I love mom's masala chai in the winter, southern sweet tea in the warm months, and starbuck's caramel frapuccino when studying.
11)What is your fav soft drink?why? Dr. Pepper!! Its just sooo yummy - I can't get enough of it.
12)Whats your opinion/take on the current poor or i must say horrible 😡 performance of the Indian Cricket team in the world cup?who is responsible for this debacle according to u?waise do u love watching criket? 😳 Ok, now I'm going to get beat up by my friends on IF...I don't know the 1st thing about Cricket......I know, this probably makes me a bad Indian...😕
13)Do u belive in astrology?if yes then why and if no then why not? Part of me says its true, and part of me says its not...but I do believe in destiny...
14)What is your greatest phobia?why? Failure...I don't want to let myself or my family down...I am afraid of failure more than anything else.
15)Which is your most fav festival?why? Navratri - the whole feel around it is just so exciting - and being gujrati, I love garba, and there's just something about the feeling you get when you're in the overcrowded mandir, singing mataji's aarti...I don't know, I can't explain it.
17)Describe a typical day of your life?(your daily routine) Ok...well, I'm not in school anymore, so I'm sure things will change, but when I was in school, it would be wake up at 7:30 and have breakfast, class from 8-9, gym from 9-10, home to shower and pray from 10-11, class from 11-12, IF and lunch time from 12-2, class from 2-4:30, then study time til 8, dinner, more studying mixed with IF time - this usually continues til I go to bed around 1 AM - I like to read in bed before I fall asleep. Thats a typical - some days are different depending on different class schedules, some days i work, so that changes things, sometimes I have dance practice, if I have tests coming up, then obviously IF time gets hacked...so it just depends.
18)Describe your childhood in 100words?(as a child your schoollife,your nature,etc etc 😛) There's not much I remember about my 5 years in India as a child, but I do remember being happy there. I had a good life, hated the school I was going to, but all in all, I was happy and it was probably the most "childhood" I had. Then we moved here when I was 5 and the first 2 years were VERY hard, followed by another 2 moderately hard years, and then things got easier. In the initial years here, I learned how rough life really was - though my parents did everything they could to make sure my brother and I had everything we needed/wanted. When things did get easier, when we were finally happy, some things happened in the family that made my brother and grow up REALLY fast...I think I was 10/11 when my childhood ended...circumstances forced me into a premature maturity.
19)Describe these great personalities 😆 in few words:: 😃
Ananya: Completely head over heels fida over AA 😃
Jyothi: 😳 An excellent Chem and Geography student and also one of the most creative people I've come across - where do you get your ideas?!?! Oh, also the new gurumata and a besharam who's rubbing off on all the younger bhootni's
Sharmi: Can always make me laugh no matter what.
Mansi: Wonderful daily updates - I still remember her first day on IF - we were blown away by that initial post and she's continued them every day since then!
Hemadi: The greatest love of all....her love for Apurva baffles me....I salute her devotion to him. Hemadi has a heart of gold.
Kaj: A crazy bhootni that makes wonderful DK mixes
Kaju: Is quickly, and at a very young age, learning a LOT from her gurumata. A true DK devotee.
Nikki: Obsessed with Bhuttas!
Autumnleaf: I don't have words enough to praise her writing abilities...undoubtedly one of the best FF writers IF has ever seen
Tishadi: Aaaww, I miss her!! She was the official DKian gurumata...she's also an amazing writer, wonderful cook, and has a beautiful heart.
Sharna: She makes wonderful predictions and her Devaria is beyond control
(Now from the serial Kaajjal and JJKN)😛
Dev:😳 Do you even have to ask? I am completely, head over heels, IN LOVE with Mr. Dev Pratap Singh. Enough said.
Kaajjal: I love this girl. She's got a good head on her shoulders (most of the time) - she's a real go-getter. She fights for what she believes in, and thats commendable.
Dhruv:😉 Stupid Gorilla - waste of screen time, SO GLAD he's Gone!
Ameesha:😃 I like to punch that horse square on the mouth😡 - but I must give her some credit - her stupid plans bring our DK even closer to one another.
Karan: I'm very dissappointed in Karan - I really thought he was a genuinely nice character lekin yeh toh ravan nikla! 😡
Veer: My Veeru!!! I love him - I just wish they'd spice up his character - I feel like he's just standing in the background - I pray he knows all about Devu's plan so he can help his brother take revenge. I also think he's too good for that chudail!
NT: I think she's got wonderful morals, is a wonderful mother, and she'll do anything for her sons. She also knows the difference between right and wrong, and stands up against injustice. All in all, a very respectable woman.
Raju:😉 He is SO cute!!!! I love him! At first I didn't like him b/c he was to replace my Devu, lekin I've grown to like him a lot. He may be doing all this for money, but he's got a clean heart - he genuinely wants to help Kaju. And the way he's crushing on her is just too cute!
Chameli: I feel bad for her b/c she's lost her Raju, but really, if she had only recently met him, I don't understand how she could fall so in love with him so quickly.
Paua: So cute, he's a wonderful Raju sidekick - the two together have AWSOME comic timing.
Armaan:😳 An arrogant dreamer who can't really walk the walk, initially very immature, but was always very good at heart, very charming, and in the end, despite everything, the perfect match for Jassi in every way.
Jassi: Jaisi Koi Nahin. What an apt title. I loved her "go get 'em" attitude. She was brilliant, but trusted others too much, and in the end, I think this was the only cause of all the pain she endured. But, she was a true fighter, and if she trusted people too much, she also knew how to very cleverly get back at those who hurt her or her loved ones - but without stooping to their level.
Mallika: I feel bad for her. She truly loved Armaan, and lost that love. In doing so, she also lost her family. Her flaws though, were her distrust (even though she had a right not to trust him initially - but then again, he can't be blamed as he never loved her), her attempt to hold on too tight, and her expectations that her love would be reciprocated.
Aryan: Good businessman, good ideas, and had the means to turn his plans/ideas into reality. His flaw however, was his horrible people skills and his hate for Armaan.
Nandu: The best friend anyone could ever have. I love Nandu. He always stood by Jassi no matter what and never crossed the limits of friendship. If only everyone had a friend like him.
Maddy: A good designer, a little egotistical, but with reason. In the end, a good friend.
Raj: An out and out flirt who would forever be a bachelor, had amazing comic timing, and was a very good friend. I love Raj's character. And his lines were brilliant. I also felt bad for him when he left b/c after all the years of flirting, he fell in love with the one girl he never dreamt of falling in love with, who was also, his best friends love.
20)Which is your fav romantic DK scene from the serial kaajjal? 😳 Do you really expect me to pick one? There are so many...the restaurant scene where he is about to tell her he loves her, the first hug, the second hug, the third hug, the scene when he saves her from the clutches of that gorilla when the gorilla is trying to force her into marriage, the scene right before Kaju's engagement to the gorilla, the hospital scene when Devu is so concerned about Kaju....the list goes on and on!
21)Which is your dream DK scene which u would like to see in the serial in the future episodes?😳 Any of the lovely romantic scenes from one of Autumnji's FF's will do!
22)Which is your fav romantic JandA scene from the serial JJKN?😳 The V-day episode where they hug "for the last time", the chandighar episodes, the scene before the "ahem ahem" scene - when Jassi finally tells Armaan that she's behind Karishma and they both apologize.
23)Which is your fav section on IF? why? When I first joined, I only came to the JJKN section. When Kaajjal started, I moved there, and now, I've re-joined the JJKN section. So, I'd say the JJKN and Kaajjal forums.
24)What was your first post on IF?(what was the subject of the post and in which section) It was in the JJKN section, but I don't remember what the post was. Its been almost 2 years, yaar.
25)Who is your role-model?why? My mom. She's the strongest woman I know.
26)Write a romantic tabela sequence with all the chemical equations😉 for DK as well as Armaan-jassi in few words?😳 Short on time right now, will get back to you later this evening.
27)What is your recommendation regarding marriage?love marriage or arranged marriage?why? 😳 Love marriage. I've seen a lot of arranged marriages go wrong. And why would you marry if not for love? I think two people should have the right to marry the person they love no matter what the circumstances. If the pair are happy, then why should anyone else care? I think sometimes our society puts too much pressure on the idea of marriage. Two people, in love, should be able to live their life together without having to worry about things like society and all that.
28)What is your take on SRK in KBC?was he better than AmitJI? Didn't watch Amitji's KBC, have only seen 3 SRK KBC episodes, so I really can't comment.
29)Do u think daily saas-bahu soaps r regressive?if yes then why and if no then why not? I think so. People have their own family problems, and I don't think they need to be reminded of those problems via TV - TV is supposed to be an escape from reality - thats whey show's like JJKN work better than the overplayed saas-bahu rona dhona stuff. I also thing that soaps like this fill peoples heads with nonsense. I don't watch them.
30)What is your biggest achievement so far? I haven't achieved it yet...
31)Which is the happiest moment of your life? I haven't experienced it yet...
32)Which is the most embarrasing moment of your life? Haven't really had a truly embarrasing moment - no funny stories to tell. Sorry, I know, I'm kind of boring.
33)Do u think a married woman can make a successful comeback in films?if yes then how and if no then why not? I definitely think so - We've seen it done - take Jaya ji for example. Or even more recently - Kajol. Though why should marriage have anything to do with it? And why do married women have to make a "comeback"? We don't see married men making comebacks. I think handled correctly, with the right script and right character, anyone who's been away from the industry or not doing so well can make a "comeback".
34)What is your take on that racial abuse with Shilpa shetty on Big Brother? Do u think it was just a publicity stunt? I heard about this, but don't know the details of it. I guess I live in my own world. Also, not having Indian TV b/c I live away from home has a lot to do with my being out of the loop!
35)Who is your dream date?why?😉 Undoubtedly Apurva - do you even have to ask the reason?😉 No, but very seriously, Apurva b/c I've heard he's a gem of a person and I'd consider myself lucky to be able to spend an evening with such a rare diamond.
36)Why always the sun shines in the east and sets in the west?😕😆 The sun rises in the east and sets in the west b/c of the rotation of Earth along its axis.
37)What is your eye color? brown
38)What is our skin color? I used to be fair skinned, but then I moved to Charleston, and the sun is VERY harsh there - there's no escaping it, so I've tanned a bit, but I'm still pretty fair...I dunno how to describe my skin color perfectly though...
39)What is your hair color? I used to be black, but then changed to dark brown, and for the past 8 years, its had a hint of red in it from mehndi.
40)What is your approximate height? 5'3"
41)What r the five things that u never forget while going out from your house? Purse, walet, keys, phone, and chapstick.
42)Other than IF which other sites do u visit?why? Honestly, I don't.
43)What is your fav passtime other than IF? Reading. I love to read!
44)What is your advice to the older generation?😉 Advice? Remember that time changes, and with it, we must change too - otherwise, we cause problems for us and those around us. Change is good thing, don't fear it.
45)Which is your fav T.V CHANNEL?why? I don't watch TV when I'm away in Charleston b/c I don't have time. When I'm home, I'm glued to Indian TV b/c I don't have that luxury at my house. But, if I had to pick a favorite channel, I'd say either the food network, The Learning Channel, ABC Family or the Discovery Channel or National Geographic on US TV, and Sony, Zee, and B4U Music on Indian TV.
46)R u excited about the Harry potter final book?if yes then why and if no then why not? I'm behind on Harry Potter - I've only read the 1st 3 books. I've seen all the movies though, and I'm VERY excited for the next movie to release this summer!
47)Which is the recent movie that u watched?did u like it?if yes then why and if no then why not? Just saw Water recently. I loved it. I think that more indian films like this, that deal with societal issues should be made.
48)What is the time right now?😃 3:17 PM EST.
49)What was your latest dream? Apu in Dev's avatar was in my dream last night, but I don't remember the dream. 😭
50)Lastly how was your day today?😃if good they why and if not good then why not? Good so far...I slept in til 11:45 this morning b/c I got no sleep on Saturday night and then had a long day yesterday. I woke up just in time to watch JJKN (on TV this time - not online - I'm at mom and dad's house this week!! 😃), then I re-watched an episode of Kaajjal that mom had taped on the DVR, and then I got on IF and began answering these questions. This took a really long time. Now, I have to go unpack my car, do some laundry, take Dev for a run (my dog Dev - not DPS! 😆), and in the evening, I'll go to the mandir. I think its gonna be a good day.
Thats it for now...but i will b back with more 😃 after u answer these questions 😈 ...
Once again enjoy the hot hot seat Payal 🤗 😛
