Although most Yeh Hai Mohabbatein
fans are still miffed with Shireen Mirza,
aka Simran, for turning negative in the
show 6 months back, she is taking it in
her stride. "These online kids don't
understand that I have nothing personal
against their Ishita (Divyanka Tripathi
Dahiya). They even start fighting amongst
themselves. However, I am cool with the
love or hate. Divyanka and I have even
posted joint seflies to calm them down,
but alas.
Shireen, who began with theater, before
bagging the above hit Star Plus show,
adds, "To be honest, after playing positive
for long, I was unsure of being able to
carry off the vamp, but my creative
convinced me otherwise. I am glad I
agreed, for a negative character plays with
many more shades. Simmi only came into
her own, post Ananya's death.
"Also, being a part of the industry, I know
that finally what matters is TRP, and once
that comes, nothing can stop you. No
wonder, Simmi is getting darker by the
day.
What makes this show tick? "Undoubtedly,
the chemistry between Raman (Karan
Patel) and Ishita, and also the equation
between Ishima and Pihu (Ruhanika
Dhawan), is the mainstay of the show.
Every show goes through ups and downs,
but our story has always been strong
enough to weather the tide since the past
four years.
Shireen calls Divyanka one of her best
friends on set. "I can unhesitatingly turn
to her for guidance. At first, I thought her
to be a fake, because can anyone really be
so sweet? But she really is, and I admitted
as much to her. We also hang out after
work, discussing work and personal life.
Besides TV, Shireen is game for web
series, "As it is the new rage. But it should
match my TV dates, which are chalk-a-
block with my current show. I have
already started my web career with an
Anurag Kashyap produced short.
She would not have major issues with the
dare-bare avatar, "But I have my own
limitations.
Shireen also has done a few flicks. "My
English film on human trafficking released
internationally. A couple of my other Hindi
flicks are also held up, as I don't have
dates to finish my patchwork.
