She was at the right place at the right time and before she knew, she was invited to be the next big thing on Indian television. Sanjeeda, a little known actress on the south Indian big screen, is set to play the role of Nimmo in the new Ektaa Kapoor serial on STAR One, Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. It was at a common friend€™s party where the two ladies bumped into each other and the rest, as they say, is history.
€œEktaa spotted me at the party and wanted me to be her new face,€ Sanjeeda tells Metro. €œThe next day I screen-tested for the role of Nimmo and within a week they called back to confirm the offer.€
In the new serial, to start in March, Nimmo is a simple and youthful girl who is clumsy enough to trip often and break glasses every now and then. She is part of a close-knit family comprising her mother, father and two sisters. €œNimmo is a very ordinary middle class girl and she is happy being that way. In fact, she inspires others to be content with their lives,€ feels Sanjeeda.
But doesn€™t that sound like Jassi? €œI think the similarity between the two is only in the titles,€ Sanjeeda asserts. €œOther than that, the two are completely different.€
