Smiriti kalra interview;;
Must HAVE GIVEN WAY TO AWKWARD SITUATIONS..
Yes ----and how.In my very first shot I was told to pick up a key and put it at the table.I perkily did that and the director screamed,'Cut,I looked at him wide mouthed and he taught me -Not so fast.Tv is slow.I did it again and again again till ,I ,as they say here,learnt to khaao ,footage.
ACCHA ,IF YOU WERE IN SIMI'S SITUATION ,WOULD YOU HAVE REACTED THE SAME WAY;
No;Simi is mishmash of emotions,caught in the whirlwinds of My family,My mom,My dad,My this,My that.She even agrees to take Saatphere with Nakul for that.I'll never do it . If you don't take your own stand --nobody will.
WHEN DID YOU REALISE YOU HAD HIT IT AS SIMI;
Very soon tense scenes started coming to me and when I saw people crying when I cried-Iknew I was doing something right.You know ,once even Bhalla gushed'Simi yaar ,tune rula diya.
HOW ABOUT BEING MOBBED,HOW DO YOU COPE UP WITH IT;
Idon't--because I don't have to.Actually I look totally different from Simi in real life, what with all the time being in Tee's and sports shoes,.So they are dumbstruck.They cautiously move around me-Er are you....By that time .I have zipped off.
YOU COME FROM ARMY FAMILY,WAS THERE REGIMENTATION AT HOME;
Dad is a brigadier in Army.He doesn't smoke,drink or discuss ranks all the time.Still,he is stickler for time-Get up at 4.....study while mind is fresh......eat at this hour...sleep at that.
THAT'S STRICT;
But he also gave me my space.Arre ,he is the best dad.I know all daughters say so---but trust me ,my dad is out of this world.
DID THE MIRROR EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE CUT OUT FOR SHOWBIz
Never.I was gawky-I wore specs,held by a thread.And i was blase about IT.I never ever cried ,'Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chaahti Hoon.Actually ,I didn't even read a film mag,then.We were allowed only Competition Success Review at home.
WAS THERE A SCENE AT HOME WHEN YOU DECIDED TO HOP ONTO KAROLBAGH BANDWAGON;
Actually no.Dad only said'Carry yourself like a lady.Don't do anything indecent.
BUT SOMEWHAT DOWDY SIMI WAS NOT EXACTLY THE IDEAL LAUNCH FOR A BUBBLY AND BOUNCY LASS LIKE YOU;
Thank you
My mom was aghast ay that --'Haaye ,they are turning my beautiful daughter into a30 year old moti.But dad was positive-'Look,they are not highlighting your looks-so only your acting would be your highlight now.
OK,TELL US ,WHICH HAS BEEN YOUR BEST SCENE SO FAR;
That's the one is which my own brother ,despite all that I have been doing for him and the family accusesme,'You are the reason that I am not getting married.ThAts's the last straw and till now bottled up Simi bursts with explosive angst.And the whole Bombay unit ,all those diehard professionals,cried.Acouple of days later we had an outdoor and so many people came to me,going ga-ga over my performance.
AND THE SCENE YOU HAD A BALL,DOING;
OOOOOH,THe golgappe walla scene.It was Simi and Abhi's first date out and we romped around like crazy.I love Gol gappa and we had to eat the same in the scene-I gobbled like there is no tomorrow.
Achha.TELL US A SCENE THAT WAS DIFFICULT TO DO,IN WHICH YOU HAD TO PUT EXTRA EFFORT;
That was the Date rape scene,where Bhalla takes Simi out and molests her.Igave my everything to it.It was outdoor ,blazing sun on my head,barefooted and being flung all over.it licked daylights out of me.But it also became the most memorable moment of not me-but of of 12/24 karolbagh as well
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
