Meet Dr. Riddhima Gupta of "Dill Mill Gayye"

Television Actresses: Gallery

Shilpa Anand who plays Dr. Riddhima Gupta in "Dill Mill Gayye" talks about the audience reaction, her experience on the sets and why the show won't go the "Sanjeevni" way.

"Dill Mill Gayye" has succeeded in drawing the audience, your reaction?
I am glad of course. I am playing Dr. Riddhima Gupta, an intern at Sanjeevni, and the daughter of Sushank Gupta, the dean of the hospital, played by Monish Behl. I have a sister named Dr. Anjali Gupta who often gets irritated with me. And then there is Dr. Armaan who troubles me a lot.

This is your first television appearance, how has the experience been so far?
It has been good so far. Television requires commitment on the part of the actor, it has long work hours. It's hectic but what keeps me motivated is the contentment. After all, hectic schedules are part of all daily soaps. I have been lucky that the whole production team has been very co-operative.

How did you get this role?
They just called and said they wanted me to do this role and I agreed. They took a look test and I was on board.

You have a sister in real life and in this serial, too. So was it easy for you to introduce a few things from real life in your acting?
No, not at all. The chemistry with my real sister is completely different from that with my reel sister in the serial. In the show, my sister and I get into a lot of petty arguments.

You have got a lot of exposure in this serial, do you think you will be able to live up to the expectations of the audience?
I guess so. All I can say is that I will try my best.

How similar are you and the character of Dr. Ridhima Gupta?
Certain traces are similar. A few differences are also stark here and there. But we are very similar with regard to our approach to life. She is straightforward and doesn't take crap from anyone. Nor do I.

"Sanjeevni" is quite similar to "Dill Mill Gayye", which did very well in the start but later diverted from the main love story. Will the same happen with "Dill Mill Gayye"?
Frankly speaking, I haven't watched "Sanjeevni", but I don't think "Dill Mill Gayye" is similar to it. I don't know what turn "Sanjeevni" took in the end, but "Dill Mill Gayye" has a strong and interesting storyline that won't need to be changed later on.

Can you honestly tell us whether you faced any problems in adjusting with your coactors?
All of them were so good. I really had no problem in mixing with any of my co-stars.

Coke Girl Shilpa Awaits Her Debut Film

<>document.write('Faridoon Shahryar, ') IndiaGlitz [Saturday, September 02, 2006]

Shilpa Anand the Coke girl who featured with Aamir Khan in Cola Add and the, Lux Add with Aishwarya Rai is awaiting the release of her maiden vernture 'Iqrar-By Chance'. The film is complete with a debutante unknown hero Amarjeet as her co-star. If the insiders are to be believed then Shilpa plays a stubborn, spoilt brat in the film. Now, what's so different about that for a first film? Never mind…

"Everyone was so nice on the sets and during the making of the film, that my first film has become an experience to cherish whole my life," she says. "My director K Ravi Shankar was a delight to work with. He gave me freedom which really helped," she coos predictably. Being a software developer, Ms Anand found the desk job boring. Since her sister Sakshi Anand was in, she thought of giving it a try. She has done over 40-50 commercials with bigwigs like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai etc. Let's see if her debut film finds favours with the aam junta.

Shilpa Anand: Me, wearing a saree?

Shilpa Anand enjoys her stint in the television world but is happy that she is not playing run-of-the-mill characters.

She was happily running around trees and singing songs in South Indian movies, but then the world of TV beckoned. Shilpa Anand, one of the young cast of Star One's new serial Dill Mill Gayye , is enjoying her stint in the telly world, and has very definite opinions on the current fare on TV.

"Television is a medium where one can experiment with various topics and issues. Ironically, saas-bahu sagas are the only thing that one gets to see," she says.

So would she act in one of the K serials? "This is an individual choice, and depends on the actor," she says diplomatically. "But then, wearing a saree 24/7 and shedding tears would be a painful experience for me. Thankfully, I am not playing a run-of-the-mill character in Dill Mill Gayye . I play a doctor."

But aren't saas-bahu sagas the most popular choice of the masses? "Says who?" Shilpa counters. "The audience is bored with those serials, but they hardly have any options. People are interested in watching something different, and serials for the youth are definitely welcome," she avers. "After working in this serial, I have realised that television offers you a wider scope to show your acting talent. I always dreamt of playing a doctor in my life, and I am excited for having been given that chance."

Shilpa has done modelling assignments, and she says her stint with South Indian movies was a very pleasant one. "It is a very disciplined industry, where one gets to learn various aspects of acting," she says.

So if she liked the industry and her work there, what made her shift to television? "I have not quit south Indian films completely, but I somehow started to find it monotonous. The language was something I couldn't understand and so I wasn't enjoying it much," she explains candidly.

Shilpa Anand didn't want to be a Southern superstar (TOI Photo)

Television's rising star Shilpa Anand tells AT why films are a no-no and soaps are fun

You have seen her in numerous advertisements; peering out of the television screen in your drawing room.

Oh yes, she also starred in a dud at the box office, a Hindi film called Iqraar – By Choice , but this is Shilpa Anand's first official entry to television in terms of doing a serial.

She will star in a hospital series, considered to be sort of a sequel to a popular serial.

Sister of Telugu super star Sakshi Shivanand, Shilpa who spent her childhood growing up in Africa and US came to India while she was in class VIII. To those who think that only beauties without brains turn to acting, Shilpa has actually studied to be a software professional.

I did work in a financial company for a while. I got an offer to do a Telugu movie, which I did. I think the glamour bug stuck me quite by chance, and I left the software industry for good," she says.

I quickly realised that I didn't want to work down South. There was a language barrier and besides like my sister I didn't really fancy being a superstar there. I wanted to do mainstream work," explains Shilpa.

She admits that her first film didn't do too well and she opted for doing a lot of television commercials. "I didn't want to be slated as a B-grade actress and those were the kind of offers I was getting.

Even if I had a good role, I would never get a good audience if I did those kinds of films. I was happy doing commercials and then when the role of this serial was offered to me, I saw it as a great platform.

She plays the role of a 21-year old medical intern in the serial, one who is warm, kind and good natured. "Am I like that in real life?," she laughs with a glint of mischief and says, "Maybe, maybe not!

With her first serial being launched at the end of this month she says she will concentrate on the small screen for the time being.

I am happy with the character I play. Thankfully, it's not a weepy-washy kind of a role and I am going to have a lot of fun playing it. Besides, I don't think I am going to get back to being a software professional. As for films, I can only do it if I get a good break. Watch out for the 'gentle' doctor!
