| Transcript of LIVE CHAT with TV actress, Priya Wal at 12 noon on Monday, May 30, 2005 in Mumbai Priya Wal TV actress "I was a national level tennis player and thought I'd be the next Steffi Graff but ended up as a model and an actress." Rajiv > What makes you so different from others - in every way, personally and professionally? Priya Wal > Well, I think I am my own person. I have my own individual style. And I am a person with very diverse interests. Like I have been a national level tennis player. have been a model, have travelled all over the country. So, I have seen a lot. Hence, that makes me a very different person where I have varied interests. Professionally, this is my first role. The character of "Anvesha" is very different from anything else on TV (currently). Gaurav > Hi!, how did you get noticed first and who promoted you ? Priya Wal > I was modelling with Elite in Delhi, and a movies production (house) that belongs to Goldie Behl and Srishti Arya saw my pictures, which they liked. They called me to Mumbai for an audition and that's how I got the role of "Anvesha." Yusuf > Any other TV serials in the pipeline for you? Priya Wal > No, since Remix is a one hour daily and I have an exclusive contract (with them). I can't do any other serials. Uma > Hi, TV (serials) in India is full of sati-savitri (pious) looking women and audiences seem to love them. Do you think you can make an impact with your ultra mod-western look? Priya Wal > Well, first of all, I don't think we are ultra modern. It's just that these days there's a total remix (fusion) generation and our serial caters to the needs and beliefs of this generation. Since the serial is such a big hit, it proves that we are on the right track. Jiyaa > Are you going to try in Bollywood? Have you received any offers? Priya Wal > Yeah, I have received a couple of offers but as of now Remix is my only priority and when I do plan to get into movies, I will be trying for crossover films. Gayatri > What sort of role would you like to play on screen? Priya Wal > When it comes to movies, I love the roles of women with a lot of pain and rebelliousness and actually I am open to all kinds of roles, as long as I can relate to them somewhere along the line. Fiza > What do you think is the most important in a relationship- love or money? Priya Wal > Certainly love because money comes and goes, but for two people to make it through in life, you certainly need a lot of love . Diggy > What is the most embarrassing moment of your life? Priya Wal > I can't really remember one particularly but I am a Sagittarian (zodiac sign) and end up with my foot in the mouth, most of the time. Kitty > What are some of your hobbies? Priya Wal > I love writing, I love music - specially rock - and I love reading. Raju > What are your future plans? Priya Wal > I am one person who never plans for (my) life. I had thought I'd be the next Steffi Graff and I ended up modelling. Later Remix (serial) happened and I really don't know where I will go from here, but hopefully the future is bright. Sign Off Message > Thanks for the nice questions and live life to the fullest. Love, Priya Wal. |
