New Tandon in tellyland
By: Vickey Lalwani

Getting desi: Saumya Tandon

An MBA from Delhi, Saumya Tandon, is the girl in Sony's promos of Manish Goswami's forthcoming daily, Aisa Des Hai Mera.

Speaking to HiTLIST from London, where she is shooting presently, Saumya revealed that she met Manish six months ago and auditioned for the part.

"Nothing moved ahead at the time. But recently, he called again and asked if I was still interested. I have seen his serials like Daraar, Aashirwad, Kittie Party and I think they were pretty good. So I agreed to do it."

Goswami says he asked Saumya three simple questions when he made that call. "Firstly, do you have a passport? Secondly, can you come to Mumbai in 24 hours? Thirdly, will you be able to fly to London in four days if selected?" She gave the right answers and was on.

Phirang looks

"When she flew in the next day, I did a final audition and sent it to Sony. I had a gut feeling that they will approve of her, and I was right,"says Goswami. What worked in Tandon's favour? "She has the phirang look I was looking for. She is a good performer," the producer adds.

Saumya started shooting from March 27. She says it happened so fast that it seemed like a dream. In the debutante's words, "Two days after my second audition, the hoardings and promos were ready. Third day, I was in Delhi just to pick up my clothes. The next day, I was in London."

Mom's moving in

She informs her mother will shift to Mumbai with her. "I was into academics, but I think destiny had other plans for me. It's great to be a part of the television industry," she adds.
What's the show about?

Aisa Des Hai Mera, which also stars Pawan Shankar, Kanwaljeet and Dolly Minhas, is about India's strong cultural values. "It is easy to shoot in most other places abroad, but not in London, considering the cost factor," Goswami says.

The soap has been shot in London and Punjab. A special set is being erected at Powai, to recreate Punjab. This Siddhant Cinevision serial has Lekh Tandon as the series director. The soap is slated to go on air from April 24.
