priya's address

"Playing the role of Anvesha in Remix has been my greatest accomplishment so far," says Priya Wal, one of the four main characters starring in Star One's popular teen serial.

Wal plays the role of Anvesha, a well-known actress's daughter studying at a boarding school who gets utmost pleasure bullying people around her.

This Raheja Township resident and former model says she grabbed the opportunity when she heard the script. "I came to Mumbai for the auditions and was selected immediately," says Priya, who has done more than 25 print campaigns including those for LG, Electrolux, Cosmopolitan and Ritu Kumar.

This Delhite shifted base to Mumbai nine months ago and says, "My friends always called me a nautanki. Though I am not a brat in real life, I can relate to Anvesha as I too have been to boarding school."

But Priya's quick to add that working on the serial is pretty tough. She says, "It is a lot of hard work. We shoot from 9 am to 10 pm, we are on the sets from around 8 am to 11 pm six days a week. That hardly gives me and my co-stars any spare time."

She's referring to co-stars, Sakshi Talwar (Vrinda) and Suriely Joseph (Mariah Priya) who share a flat with Priya at Raheja Township.

Says Priya, "We are a family now. We live, work and hang out together. I love each and every aspect of my life in Mumbai."

And is she interested in making it to the big screen? "I hope so," says Priya, adding, "I have been offered a few roles, but I am not interested in a typical Bollywood movie. I would love to work in crossover cinema as I can relate more to it. If I get to act in such a film, I will grab that opportunity."

Besides acting, Priya loves buying music CDs, watching movies and is into adventure sports.

She wants to go bungee jumping and skydiving someday. And what does she enjoy about Malad? "That has to be Inorbit Mall. Sakshi, Suriely and myself go out together on Sundays," says Priya.
