I couldn't ask for more
Kohli talks about her marriage and career plans
Reena Thapar Kapoor
Gurdeep Kohli is all set to tie the knot with long time boyfriend Arjun Punj. "We've been formally engaged for the last five months, marriage is the next step," says Gurdeep with a gleam in her eyes. She happily shows off the diamond ring on her finger. "Arjun has just bought a house for us in Lokhandwala and we're in the process of readying it, once that's done we take the pheras."
Incidentally, the duo worked together in Sanjeevani and that's where they fell in love. We ask Gurdeep about Arjun's hasty decision to quit Rajshri's television show Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki. She says, "Quitting Woh Rehne… was completely Arjun's decision. He said that he was not comfortable with certain things and that's about it. I never question him about his decisions because I believe that he is far more practical than me. The issue about him not having any shows on hand is never discussed because it's not important."
Talking about decisions we quiz her about turning down lead roles in Swades and Ishq Vishq. Today every TV actor worth his name would do anything to do films and she actually said no to filmmakers like Ashutosh Gowarikar and Ken Ghosh? "Look, all this is destiny. I was not destined to do those films. My family is over-protective about me and they were apprehensive about me getting into films. I'm content with what I have. Television has given me immense satisfaction and recognition. I couldn't ask for more. don't repent losing Swades and Ishq Vishq to other actresses."
