Reena Kapoor interview

'I am a misfit in showbiz'

Television actress Reena Kapoor, who plays Rani in popular soap Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, says she is a misfit in the show business because she doesn't socialise or party and is a pure vegetarian.

"When I was young, I used to see channels like Doordarshan or Discovery. I liked going to places which are close to nature. I'm a pure vegetarian, I don't drink and I don't watch any TV shows. I'm a total misfit to be in the television and entertainment line,"said Reena.

"But acting is my passion. So, despite being a misfit, I continue to work," she quipped.

The actress was in the capital to promote Sahara One's new dance show Saas Vs Bahu, in which she is participating with her onscreen mother-in-law Neelam Mehra.

Reena feels she doesn't even fit in the dance show since she has two left feet. "I'm very apprehensive about the show. Everyone knows how to dance. Some have taken salsa classes, others have been a part of Shiamak Davar's dance school, but I don't have any training in dance. I have never danced before. I feel like a misfit in the show too."

Reena says she has a dancing phobia but has accepted the show as a challenge."It takes a lot of preparation and lots of hours to rehearse one performance. I take five hours to learn the dance steps, which others learn quickly," she said.

The actress has been in the TV industry for the last 10 years, but it was Woh Rehne Waali... that comes on Sahara One that made her famous. With the end of her role in Woh Rehne Waali... and the commencement of Saas Vs Bahu, Reena is quite content with her career.
