Kinshuk interview article me and shivya are good friends

The on-screen couple credits their ability to strike long conversations as something that made them connect instantly. Getting along like a house on fire, their pairing translates into steamy chemistry on screen. In a candid chat, Kinshuk Vaidya and Shivya Pathania of Ek Rishta Saajhedari Ka tell us about their journey so far, and what makes them click.

You are both very talkative by nature, so who gives up and listens instead?
Kinshuk: She's definitely more talkative that I am, but when I start, I don't stop either, so it's mutual. It's usually complete chaos, as no one is willing to play the listener between us.
Shivya: I always talk and never give up on talking. He's the one who mostly listens.

Kinshuk, you're quite the prankster. Have you tried to pull one on Shivya?
Kinshuk: There are so many I've tried, I don't know which one to talk about! It's like a daily dose for me now.
Shivya: There is not one single prank that can be highlighted. I'm targeted every single day with his pranks. The one that upset me the most is when he said pack up ho gaya, and I took all my make up off, and was almost ready to go home. Right then, a crew member came and said, shot ready hai. And I was so upset at Kinshuk that I yelled at him. I had to redo my make up and go for the shot, as well as bear the brunt with my director being upset about the shoot getting delayed.

Shivya makes you watch short films during breaks. How often have you had to sit through some movies you've hated watching?
Kinshuk: It's actually Punjabi videos that I have to watch, willingly or unwillingly. Even though it's a torture, I bear it for her sake, because I'm a nice guy.
Shivya: I'm a big time fan of Punjabi videos and songs, and I make sure Kinshuk also watches them. He actually doesn't have an option [giggles].

You guys are always spotted chilling together on sets. Does it raise any eyebrows?
Kinshukj: It does, but it depends on people and how they want to see it. We became friends from day one, and we've maintained that.
Shivya: I've never cared about that, because people who want to talk will end up doing it as it is. He's a dear friend, and will remain so.

How often do you have a difference of opinion?
Kinshuk: Many a-times, but we come together on common grounds, mostly.
Shivya: We do have difference of thoughts, but never on any serious issues, so it's alright.

Don't you get bored of each other's company?
Kinshuk: We're both such mastikhor people that every day we do something weird, so there's no question of getting bored.
Shivya: We're very impromptu in our actions and every day we have something or the other to talk, fight and discuss about.

Who is a better co-star between the two of you?
Kinshuk: We both help each other give our best takes while filming for the show.
Shivya: We both make the jodi a hit pair, and that's what matters.

Is there any particular scene that's made its way to your heart so far?
Kinshuk: There's this scene where my character breaks down while confessing my love to Saanchi (Shivya) on the show. It was an emotional scene and I gave it my best. I am glad people have loved it and appreciated the entire sequence.
Shivya: It was one of those initial episodes when Aryan (Kinshuk) expresses his love.

Is there any scene that's made you go, "I wish I could perform the scene once more"?
Kinshuk: I feel like that for all the scenes I shoot. As an artist, I am never satisfied with my work and always want to improve.
Shivya: I believe in improving my acting skills each and every day.

What's the one thing that you like and dislike about each other?
Kinshuk: Shivya is extremely bubbly and sweet In fact, even when she is angry, she is sweet.
Shivya: Kinshuk is really calm and polite. In fact, he is the exact opposite of me.

What's your off-screen equation like?
Kinshuk: We became friends much before we could even start shooting. Our bond stays the same today.
Shivya: We are friends and will continue to be friends all our lives.

Is there any interesting fan comment on your jodi that's caught your eye?
Kinshuk: Once when I was visiting Jaipur, a fan came to me and asked when I was getting married to Shivya. The fan thought we were in a relationship off-screen as well! I thought this compliment means a lot since our chemistry is it shows how well we present ourselves onscreen.
Shivya: One of my fans on Instagram said that Kinshuk and I can never be separated by anyone. I think that comment was rather sweet.

Who is the craziest among the two of you?
Kinshuk: She is a crazy person but very few know that I am the quiet mischief monger.
Shivya: People think I am the craziest, but the fact is we are both fun in our own ways.

So, who is the jagga jasoos of the set who gets all the gossip " you or her?
Kinshuk: Definitely Shivya!
Shivya: We both are. It's fun to know what's happening on the sets (laughs)
