Persistent yes, pushy no
From playing the bold and extroverted radio jockey Ananya in 'Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi' (MTV) to playing the quintessential shy girl, dreaming of her knight in shining armour in 'Kayamath' (Star Plus), Panchi Bora has attempted the diverse.
Panchi says, "Both the serials that I have done are not typical saas-bahu soaps. At least 'Kayamath' isn't one till now. But you never know when a change in the storyline would become mandatory." While 'Kayamath' offered Panchi a comeback after a break, it has also given a platform to actor Sanjeeda (plays Ayesha) to showcase her potential as an actor. Doesn't Sanjeeda's meaty role make her feel insecure? Panchi appears unperturbed as she says, "No, I am not insecure. I am confident. I believe you get what you are destined to. You don't have to run behind it."
Panchi emphasises further, "I don't believe in the rat race. I concentrate on one show at a time."
Is that why she maintains a low profile? She replies, "I am still studying. So that keeps me occupied. Also, I am not from Mumbai. After 'Kitni…' ended, I went back to Pune to continue my studies. So I don't have too many friends here. Maybe if I had friends, I would have partied."
Quiz her if she is dating someone and Panchi asserts, "I don't have anyone in my life at the moment. And even if I had, I wouldn't like to share it with anyone."
Panchi elaborates on what she's passionate about saying, "I come from a defence background. Hence I have travelled a lot and still enjoy doing it. And no matter how busy I am, I make it a point to watch the latest releases," says Panchi who is waiting to see 'Shrek 3'.
