A special chitchat with Kasturi talking about her role, co-star, her husband and lots more - in a one on one with Hiral Anju Bhatt.
Beautiful , Petite, soft spoken Shubhangi Atre ,who came all the way from Indore to make it big in the glamour world , has become a house old name as the simple but charming girl next door Kasturi Chawla. The show ,"Kasturi" has indeed done wonders , leaving behind chart toppers like Saath Phere in the crazy TRP ratings. There was a special press conference and inspite of not being well , Shubhangi Atre was there for the shoot. Now that's what we call a completely dedicated actress. Clad in a simple black salwar kameez with dangling earrings, she was looking delectable and elegant. Our India-Forums Reporter Hiral Anju Bhatt, who was part of this Special event, caught up with the star and had a heart to heart with her.
How did you bag the title role of Kasturi?I was shooting for the other show, Kasautii as Palchin, and I got a call from Balaji to play the role of Kasturi. It was a lead role and a beautifully sketched one at that, so I accepted it.
As you said, you entered the show at the last moment, many other actresses were finalised , so was it a bit hectic for you to cope up with the schedule?
I got a call just 3 days before the show was to hit on air, so had to work day and night, it was hectic but I have no complains with that. However now, the schedule is fine.
How is working with cast and crew?
Every one is very supportive, whenever there is a scene, they come and advice me about the scenes how I could have done them better.
And what about your costar Karan?Karan is very supportive, we have a good chemistry , he always helps me with my scenes.
How similar is Kasturi and Shubhangi?
Very Similar, I completely relate to my character of Kasturi Chawla, infact I also come from a middle-class family and I believe in the values and I am very close to my parents.

How did your husband react to the fact that you aspired to be an actress?

If the script is good and the character is as strong as Kasturi, I would think of
taking that role up.
taking that role up.

Ofcourse.
You have a small kid, are you able to give time to your family and work?
