INTERVIEW OF ON THE DANCE FLOOR AND ISHQIYA WRITER SWETA
Sweta(swetaa100)
What is ur pet name?
Its nikki... :D
Tell me about some of the memorable characters(not the lead characters) in other fan fictions in IF u read , the ones that give the story colour, or brought in drama, comedy, conflict, etc.??..Tell me why u like them specifically.
I liked roop from parineeta(aish's ff) ...well that's because I think she was amazing frnd to geet..I also liked the two girls namla and dia
Apart from maaneet , what are ur favourite couples in foreign tv shows & hindi tv shows??
I used to watch REMIX I really liked it..but not as much as I love maaneet.
I watch CASTLE, BIG BANG THEORY, HOW I MET UR MOTHER,FRIENDS(my all time fav) and..GREY's ANATOMY (sometimes)
Tell me about ur favourite maan characters in ur story & also in other stories separately.
I like all the maan's in all stories..each writer brings out a different shade..which makes me fall in love maan all over again!!
If ever geet is remade in bollywood version , who u want to play maan , geet , dev , vicky , NT , adi , pinky , sameera , meera , pari , brij ??(please don't say only gurmeet & DD can justify this character.. )
No one can be like GURTi ..but I guess ALIA BHATT does resemble geet little bit.. SIDDHART MALHOTRA as..maan , VARUN DHWAN as dev, SHRADDHA KAPOOR as nt, PARINEETI CHOPRA as meera, there is this hero..i don't knw his name in 21 TOPPO KI SALAMI as adi,
ANUSHKA SHARMA as pari and SANJAY DUTT as brij...(I think it will somehow look weird with such a star cast..but ..thats what I could think off)
On which character u want Gurmeet or DD to play in future??
I want him to do little bit action..flaunting his body little bit so that we can drool..on his body!!
