This Mix Rocks Hard - Article

Pune, April 24: The remix generation is in and nowhere is it more apparent than on Remix - the new soap that airs on Star One, from Monday to Thursday. Be it the wacky hairdo of Anvesha, the sensuous style of Tia, the high-energy of Ranvir or the attitude of Yuvi. In the city on a promotional tour, of the six months old soap, the cast had enough reasons to prove why they were indeed apt representatives of the remix generation.

Raj Singh Arora, who plays Yuvi in the soap is quite a Pune boy - a law graduate from Symbiosis, he still carries fond memories of the city and his eyes light up when he talks about the good ol days. "I've spend some of my best years in Pune. Although I was studying here, it was like a paid vacation for me. I still remember the Marz-o-rin lemon tarts and delicacies from Just Baked," says he. A former VJ on Zee Music, Arora has this to say about his role, "I play this best-looking boy of the school, who has girls swooning over him, but cannot fathom the enigma called Anvesha."

Shweta Gulati, playing Tia in Remix turned down an offer from Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms, to join the serial. But Gulati had a tough time relating to her character in the serial. "I play the role of a snooty and self-conscious girl who wants to change the world around her. In real life I am quite carefree and least of all snooty," she shares.

Karan Wahi, who plays Ranvir, too feels distant from the character he plays, "I am quite a brat otherwise, but in the serial, I am expected to be sober, silent and very much focused. It was tough, but I learnt the tricks of the trade soon," says he.

Quite like their off-screen lives, the four main characters in Remix, hail from different backgrounds, busy working towards fulfilling their ambitions. Forced by circumstances to come together, the four finally form a music group called Remix.
