The adventures of Chooi mooi returns

She did a disappearing act after Twinkle Beauty Parlour bombed. But now Chavi Mittal's (who prefers to be called Chavi Hussain) is back with a bang. She's being seen in a negative avatar in Star One's Viraasat and very soon will join the Left Right Left gang. We caught the bubbly actor in a candid chat


"On being the greedy seductress"

I play a bold girl called Niki who has returned from the US. She lusts after money and power and this weakness draws her close to Rishabh Lamba ( Aman Verma). Soon she joins him in his dirty games and invariably becomes the third pole in the relationship between him and Anoushka (Simone Singh).

"I wanted to move away from my past"

The role is different from what I've played before.Till date I've been this goody goody girl. Now, Nikki also comes across as a bubbly sweet young girl but she can turn into a sultry selfish seductress whenever she wants. Since, I am playing a grey character for the first time, I am learning the subtle nuances that go with it. The audiences' are in for a surprise, when I bare my fangs and I am enjoying myself thoroughly.

"Afterall, it's a Ravi Chopra production"

I am not disturbed by the fact that the show is not doing too well. Afterall, it's a Ravi Chopra presentation and has its own share of loyal viewers. The starcast is huge and I am not like some actors who do useless roles in big projects. I accepted this offer only after I was convinced that Nikki has depth and meaning.

"I don't like being compared to others"

Often times, my fans tell me that I resemble Sangeeta Ghosh. When I met this bong girl on the set, I was pleasantly surprised to note that she too had similar experiences and was not at all happy at being compared.

"I owe everything to Tumhari Disha"

I can never forget my debut show Tumhari Disha. I owe everything to that show and the best part was that it wasn't a typical saas bahu drama. I loved being Disha who grows from a plain middle class girl into a woman of substance.

"Twinkle Beauty Parlour was not a mistake"

I really enjoyed playing the second season of the show. I think all the character's were a bit too modern for our viewers; so the second season too failed. "

"Would like to do films"

I enjoyed doing the cameo in my hubby's (Mohit Hussain) film Kaisay Kahein. Now, if something more interesting comes along, I would surely be game, including the jhatak matak stuff .
