Poster Pairs: Article

First impression

Eijaz: I entered 'Kkavyanjali' as a replacement. So I was nervous whether I would be able live up to the expectations of the unit and the audience. I had met Natassha (Anjali) earlier but didn't know her too well. But I found her to be quiet and sweet. She had a naughty look about her too. Her expressive eyes and smile attracted me.
Natassha: Eijaz (Kavya)is a wonderful co-star. He has brought a refreshing change to the character. At first I wondered whether I would be comfortable with the new actor. But I found him to be very co-operative.

Chemistry
Eijaz: We rehearse a bit before the shots and also discuss the scenes with an open mind. That has helped us bring spontaneity to our acting.
Natassha: We know how to make each other comfortable and that has worked for us.
Plus
Ejaz: She is very open to suggestions and helps me take the right decisions on the sets.
Natassha: He is a thorough professional on the sets. Off the sets, he is a lovely person to talk to. I like the way he stays focused on things.

THE 'KAISA YEHH PYAAR HAI' PAIR
First impression
Iqbal: On the first day, I was concentrating hard on my role. I was also curious about how my co-star would be. My first concern when I saw Neha (Kripa) was whether we would look good as a pair as she is much shorter than me.
Neha: I reacted in the same manner as Iqbal (Angad). As he is 6 feet tall and I am 5 feet and 4 inches in height, I thought I would have to step on a stool each time I gave a shot with him.
Chemistry
Iqbal: We have eventually turned out to be a good match. I think the diverse nature of our characters has helped in creating the chemistry. We know each other well and share a great comfort level.
Neha: I think the love-hate relationship between Angad and Kripa has helped in making the serial a success. We have played our roles honestly and that has created great vibes.
Plus
Iqbal: She is very friendly and helped me open up.
Neha: He is patient and understanding.
