Eijaz, Iqbal, the sexiest on TV: Anita
Anita Hasnandani aka Anjali of 'Kkavyanjali' was recently in the news when her co-star Eijaz confessed his love for her in a Mumbai daily. Known in the industry as Ekta Kapoor's friend and confidante, Anita comes across as a giggly teenager as opposed to her on-screen image of a mature girl. She also happens to be a big star down south and has graced the Bollywood screen opposite Tusshar Kapoor in 'Krishna Cottage'. We visited her on the sets of her serial and she shared her likes and dislikes with us in a candid chat.
Serials or films
Serials, anyday. Keeps you busy and gives you a certain amount of security. It also offers great TRP ratings and great money. I am working every day. After 'Krishna Cottage', I didn't work for one and a half years. That was the most depressing phase of my life. I didn't get any good films and I didn't want to do any crappy ones. Since the day 'Kkavyanjali' happened till now, I haven't been more confident, happier and more secure in life.
Generation leap; yes or no
No, I will never do it as I don't relate to it. One year is fine but 20 years and graying will be too much to handle.
Balaji camp Vs other banners
I am a very content person. I am happy where I am. I have achieved a lot and God has been kind to me. For South Indian movies, I divide my time between serials and films. I just finished a Kannada film which is releasing in August.
Missing Eijaz?
I am still shooting flashes with him. (laughs).
Being linked to Eijaz
He is a very sweet guy and we are great friends, but that is just about it. There is nothing more and trust me if it ever happens I won't hesitate to admit it. There is nothing wrong with being in a relationship.
His confession
I think the whole issue was blown out of proportion. He didn't say all of that. He must have said he is fond of me. As a friend even I am fond of him. We share a certain kind of personal rapport to believe what is written in the press. They do misquote and we know that. We are comfortable working together and there is no awkwardness. We are friends.
