Star of the week: By Sneha Hazarika |
Priyanka Bassi who was earlier seen on Zee Caf's Bombay Talking is all set to make her mark as a serious cadet in Sab's Left Right Left. This will be her first Hindi serial as the previous one, was in English. She plays Naina Singh, a young girl who joins an army academy to prove that her brother who died during battle was a martyr, not the traitor he is believed to be. The actress has put in a lot of effort for this role. To begin with she has undergone vigorous training and done things she would normally have never done. "I worked really hard in the gym for two months since my role required a lot of hardcore action. I have climbed trees, fallen on the ground and done lots of things that I would have avoided doing. Even during my childhood I stayed away from these activities due to the fear of getting marks on my face and body." She is very happy with the results because she says, "Even though my body isn't completely muscular, it's more toned and chiseled." The actress has even gone without make-up for her role because she admits to sporting no make-up and only getting her eyebrows done. She has also been shooting for 20 hours from the past month in Powai for the serial. After putting in so much Priyanka hopes that the serial will become as big as Jassi.. did because the makers of both serials are the same. When asked about her equation with the other two big names in the serial Rajeev Khandelwal and Shweta Salve, she says, "As of now, the experience of working with Rajeev has been amazing. He has been pretty helpful and co-operative. I haven't shot with Shweta Salve till now but am looking forward to it." |
