Ami Trivedi
I am as nervous as a school kid awaiting her results," exclaims Ami Trivedi, who plays the lead in Sahara One's Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai, from tonight.
The 20-something actress will essay a small-town girl, Katyayani Purohit, wanting to make it as a journalist. Here, Trivedi talks about how she got the role and her anxiety over audience reaction.
How did you get the role?
It was quite simple, I was asked to audition, and as soon as it got over, they told me I had got the job. My look and personality went hand in hand with how Kituu looks and behaves.
Like me, Kituu is a romantic at heart who likes to take each day as it comes. I haven't shot much for the show, so I'm not really sure how the character will develop. Before this, I have worked in Khichdi, Kumkum and a couple of other shows.
You play a reporter — did you interact with anyone from the media for this?
I have a very close friend, who is a journalist with a trade magazine. So I knew how he reacts to certain situations and how he talks. Anyway, Kituu still has time before she becomes a reporter. Till then, she's busy spending time with her family and spreading smiles.
Are you afraid of being compared to Jassi? Is there a makeover lined up for you?
I am definitely not Jassi. The show and my character have nothing to do with her. A lot of people ask me the same question, but Kituu has an identity of her own. As far as a makeover is concerned, it's too early to say anything – but if it's what the story demands, then why not?
Tell us something about your co-star…
I am working opposite Amit Verma (Hotel Kingston). Interestingly we played brother-and-sister in Khichdi; here, he's my romantic interest. Amit is a chilled out, no-hassles guy. He's great fun to work with.
Besides your own, there are three other shows launching today — are you nervous?
I would be lying if I said I am not. I am a spiritual person, constantly praying to God, asking him to bless me and to give this show the success it deserves. Competition is good and healthy, as it lets the best show emerge the winner.
