Amdavadi Sanjeeda Sheikh tells ATall about her love life and career moves
Ahmedabad girl Sanjeeda Sheikh's bubbly spirit shines through everytime she talks. A trained fashion choreographer, Sanjeeda might never have planned a career on prime time television , but it's something she's grown to love.
After working in lead roles in Tamil and Telugu films, her move to television has proved rewarding. Even months after her debut soap Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka has gone off air, everyone still calls her Nimmo. She grins mirthfully, "I am very happy to be known as Nimmo . I loved doing that show. And I love working with Ekta Kapoor's team (no prizes for guessing why, Sanjeeda's playing the second lead in another Balaji show, Kayamath now). I don't think I can work with any other production house after this," she says.
Sure, like all true blue Amdavadi, Sanjeeda misses her city and claims that all she needs is an excuse to return . "I love Ahmedabad to the bottom of my heart. Work has taken me to Mumbai and I am settling down."
From the bumbling girl next door to the manipulative vamp, Sanjeeda's had her share of variety. "I have experimented with different kinds of roles. Variety is the spice of my job." Not that she's really ever related to a character. "I am not myself once I am playing a character. There's nothing of me in the character I play on screen. It's play-acting through and through."
And finally, she's also doing what she's passionate about - dancing for a celebrity talent show. "I love dancing, but this time around I am doing it for a reality show, so things are different. I have also realised that it's very difficult to juggle a soap and a reality show at the same time!" she mock laments.
Sanjeeda is dating actor and family friend Aamir Ali for a couple of months now. "I take our relationship very seriously. Infedility is a strict no-no for me," she says firmly.
We also hear, she's just signed up a big ticket Bollywood flick. Does that mean she's going to quit television ? "I never think about my future. I just take things as they comes. I wouldn't mind doing a cameo even if I can prove my acting prowess."
