Yet another debutante on another soap?
Yes, but when the face is as mint-fresh as Neha Desai's then no one can be complaining. Neha, a perky 22 year-old might never have faced the camera before but she claims she enjoys it all, the lights, camera, action and the long schedules bit.
"I am so happy that I am acting in a TV soap these days. I had never thought I'd get to play such an important role in my very debut show (Grihasti) and that too on a leading channel. This has been a pleasant surprise for me and more than what I expected for myself."
A graduate in banking and insurance, Neha is currently doing her post-graduate in journalism even as she hops over to the studio for her shoot. How did her career graph take such a turn to the world of glamour? "After graduation, I took up classes in theatre, anchoring, dance and realised that my heart was in acting," she says. Neha however, is determined to complete her post graduation.
A Gujarati girl, born and brought up in Mumbai, Neha confesses she wouldn't ever take the 'item number route' to Bollywood nor would she ever do 'bold' scenes. Given a choice, she'd love to do a film like Chak de! India. And her dream actor? Shah Rukh Khan!"
