Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi came to Chandigarh. No small event this, when you look at the cult of the near-perfect bahus this serial has created all over the country! However, representation came in the form of newcomers Krishna Tulsi (Mouni Roy) and Lakshya (Pulkit Samraat) accompanied by funny-man, The Great Indian Laughter Challenge's Pratap Fauzdar.
The occasion, the cheery success of Star's 7827 Voice mobile phone service which had endless fans calling in, we were told, for their Ek Mulakat Sitarron Ke Saath contest. After all fans are king!
Apart from the 'fans-meet-stars' moments, it was Fauzdar's ha-ha, Mouni's easy answers and Pulkit's intensity for his 'craft' that stole the show.
Of course we all know stardom happened to Mouni and Pulkit "quite by chance".
Mouni in the middle of her Masters in Mass Communication at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi (after rejecting an MA in English from JNU and fighting with everyone in her family to do her Mass Communication!) decided to take another panga. She went to the Kyunki auditions for a lark and got the most coveted role in Indian television, that of the mirror image of Tulsi!
Ditto for Pulkit who, as a young struggling actor in Mumbai, went for auditions and ended up reporting for shooting the very next day!
Both are concentrating on Kyunkii. Simply because you do not get to work with Ekta Kapoor 'just like that' and what is more, they are under a three year contract which does not permit them to do anything else. But then this is Kyunkii not some ABC!
So does that mean no free time at all? "Luckily yes" says the intense Pulkit who wants to do nothing else but act. But for Mouni, it means shopping, watching movies and indulging in her favourite occupation, making puppets—Japanese puppets, muppets and even hand puppets.
Any dream roles, when the time comes? "Romance" says Pulkit who claims to be able to sweep a tree, stick or even a man with his brand of romance.
"Oh yes" chirps in Mouni. "Ekta even said to me once, look at him he looks like Shah Rukh Khan and you look like Chacha Chowdhary's wife!"
Ah camaraderie in a day's work which Fauzdar sure can identify with.
With three films under his belt—two Hindi and one Punjabi--this poet, author and compic caperer is on a roll. (Imagine a film featuring him as a cop called Pistol Singh!). Why all this fun? Kyunkii reel life imitates real life, that is why!
i think it's an old article.sorry if posted before.
