Moonlight sonata Shweta Teotia meets TV stars who straddle soap operas and soap factories with equal ease
Achint Kaur
ACHINT KAUR (pallavi of kahani ghar ghar ki)
Actress/ Salon owner
Laidback and lazy, Achint Kaur says that she has found her true calling in managing her salon, Beyond the Fringe. She says: "I like being an actress but I am not addicted to it. I don't think I can be an actress forever. So when I got a chance to be part of this enterprise I grabbed it." Kaur was a client of the salon for almost a decade before she became its co-owner. "Skin, hair and make-up always interested me. So I thought why not take a plunge!" she says.
However, she is not creatively involved in the running of the salon. But Kaur is not complaining. "We are a professionally-run enterprise," she explains. "I don't have any expertise in the business, so I prefer to restrict myself to the financial side of the enterprise." With the Internet, and her cellphone by her side, Kaur says: "I manage the place pretty smoothly."
