Nivedita Bhattacharya on her return to Saat Phere I could feel a tingle watching Tom Cruise.. but when it comes to Kay Kay, I feel a rush for his work in totality
| So, the vamp is home again.. I always knew Jiji would make a comeback. I'm happy . She is hardly the eyebrow-twitching, pouty vamp.. Yeah, I'm very careful about playing her subtly . Are you a switch-on-switch-off actress? I can't switch off that easily There are . times when even after I return home, I worry about how I could have done a shot differently . Don't your co-stars envy you for getting the best saris on the soap? (Laughs) Thanks for the compliment! But you should ask them that. They haven't said anything to me. Don't your theatre colleagues look upon television soaps condescendingly? Condescending is too harsh a word. The scenario has changed. Ultimately, one is an actor.. the medium shouldn't make a difference. For the record, they do not look down upon daily soaps. Why didn't you take on any other show with Balaji Telefilms after K Street Pali Hill? I was getting a lot of offers but things don't work out. Why quit K Street… in the first place? After a point I realised there wasn't much for my character to do. So I wanted out. Who are your friends on the sets of Saat Phere? I love the whole gang but I share a sisterly bond with Ashlesha (Sawant) who plays Tara. We have loads of fun.. we play scrabble in between shots. Earlier when Aditi (Pratap) was around, we would have card sessions. What's your husband Kay Kay Menon's take on Saat Phere? He's seen a couple of episodes. Of course he has reacted positively what .. did you expect? Would you do a show like Nach Baliye with him? Nach Baliye? No way Kay Kay is a very . private person. The two of you were last seen in Star Bestsellers' Last Train to Mahakali. Will you ever share screen space again? You can't plan such things. If an offer comes along, we'll see. You didabitroleinKyaKehnaandthenzilch.. why? I did Kya Kehna only because I wanted to work with Kundan Shah. I wasn't too keen on pursuing movies then. But things have changed now. How do you look without make-up? Hey, isn't that for you to tell? Given a choice I wouldn't wear make-up. Are you really short-tempered? Yeah, but my anger fizzles out real fast. A lot of women find Kay Kay hot. Any particular scene in his movies that sets your adrenaline rushing? (Laughs) I can't possibly look at his work as an outsider. I could probably feel a tingle watching Tom Cruise.. but when it comes to Kay Kay, I feel an adrenaline rush for his work in totality not for a scene. , cheers resh |
