ABOUT HER
Additi Gupta first stole our hearts with her beautiful portrayal of Heer from Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil. Merely 19 years and with her first acting offer, Additi managed to pull off the character of heer with such beauty and simplicity.
Heer, Ranjha ki Heer, the word itself represents true love, purity and innocence. As Prem's Heer in KDMHMD, Additi became a Heer. A blind lover seeking for true love, proving that no matter the distance, no matter the obstacle, true love will succeed. As the loving elder daughter of Balraj Maan and Teji Maan, she always stood by her parents. & as the protective sister of Meher Maan, she became Meher's parent with the death of Balraj & Teji Maan.
With KDMDMD gaining more popularity, Star Plus also, began to strongly promote the show and its leads Harshad Chopra & Additi Gupta, who gave numerous special performances and appearances throughout the show's run. Heer and Prem became the beloved jodi of Star Plus winning the Best Jodi Award in SPA2009 & Favourite Yogya Jodi in SPA2008. Additi's portrayal of Heer won her many accolades, garnering many fans all around the world.
Although KDMDMD ended its run in February 2010, the story of Prem & Heer continued to live amongst the hearts of their fans, remaining as one of the best on-screen jodi in TV history.
For additi, after Heer and a short break, she came back with a bang on Star Plus Zara Nachke Dikha, a dance reality show based on the concept of battle of the sexes. In Zara Nachke Dikha, Additi Gupta was given the opportunity to be herself, breaking away from Heer. Her friendly nature, and bubbly personality attracted many, winning more fans and friends along the way. With her humour and fun factor, Additi managed to bring much more to Zara Nachke Dikha and all her fans.
Special mention to her gorgeous looks, awesome outfits, spell-binding smile and feisty persona, which not only garnered tons of attention and appreciation but also left her fans in awe, including people *fainting*. Although not a trained dancer, Additi had put lots of hard work and tried her level best, and her dance performances during her stint in ZND were well received by her fans and judges. Unfortunately, her dancing stint was short-lived as Additi was tagged in week 7 and there after eliminated from the show in week 8. Nonetheless, Additi left the show with her pride and dignity held up high and with the countless support and encouragement from her fans.
Following ZND, Additi then signed on to play Priyamvada in Sanjog Se Bani... Sangini, opposite Iqbal Khan and Raunaoq Ahuja. Playing the ex-lover of Rudra, Priyamvada was stuck between being married to someone whom she couldnt reciprocriate her feelings to, despite all her attempts and not being able to let go of her past love.
Pihu, with all her complexities proved to be an unusual character in Indian television, and Additi with her brilliant performance brought much justice to the character, which helped additi gain more fans and appreciation from people all around the world. With her natural acting abilities, expressive eyes and sweet gestures, Additi managed to capture more hearts as Pihu.
With the year ending, we wish Additi all the success and happiness life can bring one. We hope that all her wishes and dreams come true, and additi will always be happy and have a smile on her face.
