| Transcript of LIVE INDIATIMES CHAT with TV actress, Sangita Ghosh at 12 noon (IST) on Monday, December 12, 2005 in Mumbai Sangita Ghosh TV actress "Anchoring Nach Baliye was stressful. I didn't like seeing my colleagues (all the contestants) being eliminated from the show; felt bad for almost everybody" Meeta > Why did you turn to anchoring? Sangita Ghosh > Anchoring was something new that was offered to me. The concept was very good. So, I thought, why not? Also, (the celeb dance competition show) Nach Baliye needed me to perform a dance every week. Gigs > Which role do you prefer- 'Pammi' of Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand or the one in the serial Rabba Ishq Na Hove ? Which one of these has a special significance for you and why? Sangita Ghosh > For now, it has to be Rabba Ishq Na Hove ; it's closer to me. 'Pammi' gave me popularity, love and fame that in turn materialised into Rabba Ishq Na Hove . So, both are very important to me. In fact, whenever we do a new project, every role is very significant. Otherwise, we don't take it up. Suman > Which one do you prefer – anchoring or acting and why? Sangita Ghosh > I love acting! Anchoring is something that I have taken up now. Also, it was for a short period. It gave me a chance to not act. I can just relax and interact; of course we do follow a script here too. Anchoring was for fun but acting is what I am more tuned to. I enjoy it! In anchoring I did feel too much of stress. I didn't like seeing my colleagues (all the contestants) going out of the show. I felt bad for almost everybody. I could feel the emotions of all those actors. Aparna > Are you seeing anyone? What sort of life partner would you want in your life? Sangita Ghosh > I am not seeing anyone right now. And haven't really thought about the sort of life partner I want so that I don't face disappointment. I just leave it to fate. Who so ever, at that point of time I find perfect, will be for me. Manov > Hi Sangita ji , you are very pretty and I like your acting a lot. Who is your favourite costar and why? Sangita Ghosh > Thank you! Favourite co-star right now - people have liked me with Varun Badola a lot. Actually, I like working with Arunja ji . She has played my mom in all the shows that I have done. Abc_123 > How did you get into this line? Sangita Ghosh > It was when I was a kid. I started with a serial on Doordarshan -- Hum HIndustani . I was playing a little Punjabi girl, who was inclined to dancing. In fact, because of that serial, I took up dancing! I trained formally in Bharat Natyam . And after that, things just happened. While in college, I kept taking offers to act; once in this line one meets people, networks and builds contacts. Buddy > What would you have been if not an actress? Sangita Ghosh > I don't even want to think about that! I am very happy with the profession I have chosen to be in. But, if not an actress, I would have joined any field related to some kind of art form; may be a dancer...... Buddy > Have you got any offers for films and are you interested in doing them (films)? Sangita Ghosh > I am interested in doing films. The offers that I have got are not exciting enough. Honestly, I would not want to do something that will make me regret. I do get offers for lead roles but a lot of times I feel the parts I am playing on TV are better. My TV work keeps me occupied. I am not the sort of person who works for 24 hours a day! I work for about 12 hrs and I don't work every day. If I am working for three to four days at a stretch, I take a break. I want to enjoy my work. Aparna > Where are you from and when did you come to Bombay? Sangita Ghosh > I am from Mumbai - born and brought up, and always lived here. I belong to this city. I have my relatives in Kolkata. Here in Mumbai, I live with my parents and a younger brother. Abhi > What sort of roles would you like to do? Sangita Ghosh > I don't have a dream role, but definitely ones that will interest me; those that will not show me to be dumb or stupid. I would like to do something, which people would also enjoy watching, as I would enjoy doing it. Want to do roles that make sense. Next year, there's going to be a new serial of mine. The name of my character in it is 'Priyanka', a strong willed person who knows how to get things done. Manu > Are you going to do anymore anchoring? And are you Aruna Irani's favourite? Sangita Ghosh > I hope I am her favourite! Who does not want to be, she is such a lovely. And she too likes me a lot. Anchoring - it depends on the concept entirely. I would want more activities in it. Whatever I do, it should be something that interests viewers, something that I would watch. I don't want to do analysis kinda shows; for me, anchoring has to be a lot of fun! That's the sort of show that I myself would want to watch.
