Natasha: No time for love

From a weighty hundred to a sultry sixty – Natasha Grover has certainly lost a lot of weight and has also bagged a television show in the process.

Leaving the corporate world for the limelight of showbiz, Natasha took up the challenge and became the second runner-up on SaharaOne's reality show, Biggest Loser Jeetega.

This erstwhile strategic planning executive now plays the lead role in Ghar Ek Sapnaa. She quips, "I play the love interest of the character Sujit, played by Darshan Dave. While initially my character will be at loggerheads with his, Cupid will strike soon." Elaborating on her role, she adds, "I play a doctor who has come to crack a medical case."

Does she relate to her on-screen persona? "Not at all," she avers and reveals, "While I play a very serious role in the soap, in real life, I am a very bubbly, chirpy and outspoken person. And yes, I detest going to doctors. Since childhood, I have been scared of them."

Even after being under the constant scrutiny of the camera throughout her reality show, Natasha says that she was stumped on the first day of shooting for her soap. "On BLJ, I had to be myself. But for Ghar Ek Sapnaa, I suddenly had to be and think like someone else, a character that was the creation of the scriptwriter. But now I am slowly getting used to being someone I am not. And it's a lot of fun as well."

Shooting for 12 hours everyday does not bother this lady. "Entering the television world hasn't shocked me or my family. My father, Suresh Grover, produced films. I had always wanted to enter the world of glitz and glamour, but could never express my desire, for nobody would have taken me seriously. But when I got the offer for Ghar Ek Sapnaa, saying no was out of the question. Although the hectic schedule forces me to have my breakfast on my way to the shooting venue, I make sure to attend the salsa, jazz and free-style Bollywood dance classes that I have enrolled for."

This 26-year-old lass maintains that the reality show was the turning point of her life and she is basking in all the compliments she is getting. But strangely enough, she is no more craving to have a 'someone special' in her life. She clarifies, "All my friends had boyfriends, someone with whom they shared special moments, and there I was with no boyfriend. But now, when I can have someone in my life, I don't have the time. My focus is on my career right now. Since I have changed my career at quite a late stage, I better do justice to my decision."
