Khaas-Bakwaas:Pareet Sethi[Archi's hubby]

Mona Singh
Khaas: In Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, the scene where I am arrested for murdering Jessica Bedi is my favourite one. I had to prove my innocence in court and get emotional. I urge Armaan Sir (Apoorva Agnihotri) to believe that I am his Jassi. The scene had a lengthy dialogue. To prevent getting monotonous, I had to say it in varying tones.

Bakwaas: In the eighth episode of Jassi…', where I was playing the bespectacled Jassi, I had to shout at a group of boys who were supposed to take me for a movie but didn't. The otherwise timid Jassi had to be rude. I had too many dialogues and I couldn't remember them. I kept giving retakes. That was one episode I felt I could have done better.

Parmeet Sethi
Khaas: I liked my scenes in Om Jai Jagdish. Director Anupam Kher is himself an actor of high calibre. Usually directors are in a hurry to shoot but Anupam explained the scenes to me in detail. There was a scene where Anil Kapoor slaps me. It felt real. Then there was this scene in Lakshya, where I am introduced as an army officer. I felt that I was right in poise, language and in character.

Bakwaas: My most embarrassing scenes were in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. My rawness as an actor was evident. When I see them today I say, "Oh God! I was so bad!" The finesse was just not there.

Juhi Parmar
Khaas: My reaction to Jatin's death in 'Kumkum' was very significant because Kumkum, a lively person, had turned absolutely silent. She could not accept her husband's death. But her hysterical reaction to Jatin's body being carried away made for a great scene.

Bakwaas: I was a newcomer in Choodiyan. In one particular scene, in the course of a conversation with my co-actor Akshay Anand, the topic veers to 'mother'. I had to get emotional remembering my mother. I just couldn't cry and director Imitiaz Punajbi wouldn't let me use glycerine. But he relented after I failed. He was very disappointed.

Shabbir Ahluwalia
Khaas: I count the scene shot at Bandra Reclamation in 'Kahiin To Hoga' as my favourite one. It involved a lot of speeding cars and required me to move my car in reverse. It was a risky action scene and was well shot.
Bakwaas: I had to dress up as a lady in the same show to enter my girlfriend's hostel. It embarrassed me!

Narayani Shastri: Khaas: I liked the scene in Piya Ka Ghar where I was being taken in for my delivery. My husband who was also present was not on talking terms with me. I was also aware that I was going to die. I was not given any lines but was asked to be spontaneous. This scene was a well-shot one.

Bakwaas: Initially in Piya Ka Ghar, I had to mouth clichd mythological lines, especially in my conversations with God. But eventually I got comfortable with them.
