Priya Wal

Transcript of LIVE CHAT with TV actress, Priya Wal at 12 noon on Monday, May 30, 2005 in Mumbai

Priya Wal
TV actress

"I was a national level tennis player and thought I'd be the next Steffi Graff but ended up as a model and an actress."

Rajiv > What makes you so different from others - in every way, personally and professionally?
Priya Wal > Well, I think I am my own person. I have my own individual style. And
I am a person with very diverse interests. Like I have been a national level tennis player. have been a model, have travelled all over the country. So, I have seen a lot. Hence, that makes me a very different person where I have varied interests. Professionally, this is my first role. The character of "Anvesha" is very different from anything else on TV (currently).

Gaurav > Hi!, how did you get noticed first and who promoted you ?
Priya Wal > I was modelling with Elite in Delhi, and a movies production (house) that belongs to Goldie Behl and Srishti Arya saw my pictures, which they liked. They called me to Mumbai for an audition and that's how I got the role of "Anvesha."

Yusuf > Any other TV serials in the pipeline for you?
Priya Wal > No, since Remix is a one hour daily and I have an exclusive contract (with them). I can't do any other serials.

Uma > Hi, TV (serials) in India is full of sati-savitri (pious) looking women and audiences seem to love them. Do you think you can make an impact with your ultra mod-western look?
Priya Wal > Well, first of all, I don't think we are ultra modern. It's just that these days there's a total remix (fusion) generation and our serial caters to the needs and beliefs of this generation. Since the serial is such a big hit, it proves that we are on the right track.

Jiyaa > Are you going to try in Bollywood? Have you received any offers?
Priya Wal > Yeah, I have received a couple of offers but as of now Remix is my only priority and when I do plan to get into movies, I will be trying for crossover films.

Gayatri > What sort of role would you like to play on screen?
Priya Wal > When it comes to movies, I love the roles of women with a lot of pain and rebelliousness and actually I am open to all kinds of roles, as long as I can relate to them somewhere along the line.

Fiza > What do you think is the most important in a relationship- love or money?
Priya Wal > Certainly love because money comes and goes, but for two people to make it through in life, you certainly need a lot of love .

Diggy > What is the most embarrassing moment of your life?
Priya Wal > I can't really remember one particularly but I am a Sagittarian (zodiac sign) and end up with my foot in the mouth, most of the time.

Kitty > What are some of your hobbies?
Priya Wal > I love writing, I love music - specially rock - and I love reading.

Raju > What are your future plans?
Priya Wal > I am one person who never plans for (my) life. I had thought I'd be the next Steffi Graff and I ended up modelling. Later Remix (serial) happened and I really don't know where I will go from here, but hopefully the future is bright.

Sign Off Message > Thanks for the nice questions and live life to the fullest. Love, Priya Wal.

Raj Singh Arora

Transcript of LIVE CHAT with TV actor, Raj Singh Arora at 12 noon on Monday, June 20, 2005 in Mumbai

Raj Singh Arora
TV actor

"Priya (Anvesha) is a very good actor and a great person. But she wouldn't be so popular without (her) great co-stars, especially me, to complement her"

Chinki > How old are you? Besides acting, what are your qualifications?
Raj Singh Arora > I cannot reveal my age as I am bound by my contract not to reveal my age. I have done Law from Symbiosis College, Pune.

Remixcrazy > Hi Raj! How do you feel about your character "Yuvi" in the serial Remix ? How much do you relate to it?
Raj Singh Arora > I am completely opposite Yuvi. I am not like him. In real life I am very sober, quiet and love to spend time watching movies and reading books. But some where down the line, since I have played the character for nearly a year now, a lot of Yuvi has come in to Raj and a lot of Raj has gone into Yuvi.

Chinki > Do you have any girlfriend?
Raj Singh Arora > Good question. I do love someone a lot but that should not deter you from liking me.

Kareena > Did you always want to be an actor? When is your birthday? Where were you born and brought up?
Raj Singh Arora > Yes, I decided to be an actor from the time I was nine years old. I am a Libran and birthday is on the 26th of September. I was born in Jammu, but lived all over India; primarily, in Mumbai.

Saumya > Hi! Your character of "Yuvi" is like that of a rock star. How similar are you to it? What kind of music do you listen to?
Raj Singh Arora > As I said, I am completely opposite to "Yuvi" but the one similarity between him (Yuvi) and Raj is music. I always wanted to be a VJ in life, which I was for a while. As far as music is concerned, I have a very open mind (in terms of likes and dislikes). Primarily, for the last 3 -4 years, I have been listening to a lot of trans, rock, hard rock.

Remixfan > Hi Raj, what do you do in your free time, if you have any?
Raj Singh Arora > If I have any free time, the most important thing is to sit in front of the TV and watch movies, for three days in a row. That apart, I am well read and love music. Sometimes, I like to cook a little.

Kareena > What would your dream girl be like? Which Hollywood actress would you love to get naughty with?
Raj Singh Arora > None from the media. (I like) A regular girl, who is very pretty and intelligent. Hollywood actress - Natalie Portman and another one would be Rachael Welch.

Abcd > Hi Raj. Will you go into movies?
Raj Singh Arora > Definitely.

Mona > Your co star, Priya Wal, is more popular in the serial. Don't you think you will be overshadowed, in the long run?
Raj Singh Arora > Definitely, out of the four of us she is the most popular. She deserves to be. She is a very good actor and a great person. But I don't think she would be as popular without her great co-stars, especially me, to complement her.

Ash_queenofhearts > Do you have any siblings? Do you get time to spend with your family, once in a while?
Raj Singh Arora > No, I haven't seen my family in the last three-and-a-half years. My younger sister is studying journalism in Delhi, my dad is in the US and mom is back home in Jammu.

Remixfan > How was your time as a VJ? Which do you find better?
Raj Singh Arora > My time as a VJ was my first break. It was great, but acting is definitely far better and superior.

Riya > If you were a female, would you be in love with Yuvi or Raj? Whom would you choose?
Raj Singh Arora > Raj definitely - he is a far more sensitive person.

Shvveta > You starred in a music video. So, was that the starting point of your carrier?
Raj Singh Arora > No, the starting point was the break as MTV-VJ hunt and after I lost the VJ hunt (reached the finals) by one point, I realised the importance of doing music videos. So I did two-three of them.

Kritika245 > What are the real names of "Sid" and "Nakul" (in the serial Remix)? Are you friends in real life?
Raj Singh Arora > We are very good friends in real life. Sid's (real) name is Garauv Gupta and Nakul's is Habib.

Dolly > Does the height difference between you and "Ashi" bother you? That's what we keep noticing.
Raj Singh Arora > Not at all. And she( Priya Wal) is just half an inch taller than me.

Ash_queenofhearts > Would you like to be friends with a simple gurl? Me?? Plz plz plzzzzzz...puhleez.......!
Raj Singh Arora > Yes, I would love to be friends with you - a simple girl.

I_luv_yuvi > Hey Raj, tell me your address plzzzz. Don't worry, I wont go to your place or even send any picture for shaadi (marriage) blah blah. I am 17, and a die-hard fan of yours!! I am completely in love with you dude! Reply plzz. What's your address? If you don't wanna tell then let me know I'll change my question!
Raj Singh Arora > > I will give you my email id, which is rajsingharora@yahoo.com. Thank you so much and I definitely hope we can meet some day.

Kareena > Hey that's shocking! You haven't seen your family for so long. Is there a rift between you and them?
Raj Singh Arora > Not really. My parents are separated and it's just that I have been very focussed on my work in Mumbai. But my mom and sister have visited me, and my dad is going to come over, in November.

Cool_aankita > Is it fun on the sets of Remix ? If yes, then what kind of fun is it?
Raj Singh Arora > It's an absolute blast. That's all I can say.

Jigs > When you are so fond of music, why didn't you become a singer?
Raj Singh Arora > I wish I had the talent and the gift for it. But all I have is a good ear and a great soul for music.

Dolly > Have you always sported this long hair, or is it in keeping with the current trend of all stars growing their hair - Hrithik and all?
Raj Singh Arora > I have had long hair for the last eight years – I call it the Jim Morrison look.

Anmol > Want to know whether Anvesha and you are going around, off screen?
Raj Singh Arora > No, we are not. We are very professional. We are good friends.

Sign Off Message > Love you all lots and lots, each and every one of you who watch Remix three times a day and especially those of you love "Yuvi" and appreciate his acting. Thank you so much and I genuinely mean this from my heart and my soul. Raj. Om Namah Shiva. God bless you all.

Transcript of LIVE CHAT with TV actress, Shweta Gulati at 12 noon on Wednesday, June 29, 2005 in Mumbai

Shweta Gulati
TV actress

"I did voice training for "Teeya's" character at the workshop held before shooting for the serial. It helped me modulate my voice to perform as a teenager."

Naturalguy > How long have you been in the show biz?
Shewta Gulati > About two years.

Remix > It is just fabulous to see the way you act. I mean, you seem to be a better actor than Big B. No, do not take it as false. Anyone who sees your acting is spellbound i.e. the way you talk, the way you change your emotions, all that. Have you gone to any acting school?
Shewta Gulati > I don't agree to that I am better than Big B, but I am really thankful to you for having said that. No, I haven't been to any acting school. I guess, this actress was there in me since I was born.

Remix > You have worked in a call centre and this gives an advantage, as you have a good command on your language i.e. the way you pronounce words and the way you talk in speed and your comments like "2 penny gawar" to Ranveer and "tacky camel"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shewta Gulati > Actually, I worked in the call centre for just four months. It wasn't of any great help. I have always had a good command over Hindi and English.

Pokemon > Hye Shewta. Are you a divorcee and daughter of Farida Jallal? What is your email id? Tell PUHLEASE?
Shewta Gulati > No, I am not. Both these statements are wrong. Email Id is shweta29may@yahoo.com

Archie > Hi "Teeya", how are you? When is your birthday and besides acting what are your qualifications?
Shewta Gulati > I am a graduate in commerce and my birthday is 29th of May.

Gauarv > You are the cutest gal I have ever seen. Wish to God that I get a gal like you!
Shewta Gulati > Thank you so much Gaurav. I will definitely pray that you get a girl like "Teeya (the character I play in Remix )."

Saritha > Shweta, are you dating Karan? You guys seem very closely bonded.
Shewta Gulati > No, I am not dating actor Karan (Ranvir in the serial). He is a very good friend and it took us a lot to work on our on screen chemistry.

Tarun > How does it feel to be a part of the 'top 10 sexiest soap stars' (published on Indiatimes).
Shewta Gulati > I wasn't aware of this. But since I've got to know this, it's a good feeling.

Pokemon > Why have you rejected Ekta Kapoor serials if you have done a Saas-Bahu serial like Shaguun ?
Shewta Gulati > The role that Balaji (productions) offered, didn't appeal to me. "Teeya" was something that I was looking forward to do. So, I accepted it.

Tia > Tell us in brief about how you arrived from a call centre to this glam world?
Shewta Gulati > Had gone for an audition with a cousin who was auditioning for a commercial and I was asked to audition too. And then, I was selected and after that there has been no looking back.

Ginger_08 > Are you going around with anyone else then?
Shewta Gulati > I am dating someone.

Itsme > Hi Shweta! I am asking one personal question. When are you going to get married?
Shewta Gulati > I don't know my self. Whenever I decide, I will definitely let you know.

Jkdf > What do you like to do in your free time? Do you party a lot? Name your favourite hang outs in Mumbai?
Shewta Gulati > I do party quite a bit. I party at Polyester (Mumbai), Squeeze(Mumbai) etc. I like eating at Mainland China (Mumbai) but if I am not partying, I'd rather hang out at home. I sleep and sleep, watch movies.

Hina > Why did you leave Kyun Hota Hai Pyaar ? And, why don't we see you doing lead roles in serials?
Shewta Gulati > I was the lead in Kyun Hota Hai Pyaar . I played "Tara" in it.The serial is no more on air. So I didn't leave the serial. And in Remix, I am one of the leads.

Please > You look like a 17 year school student. How do you manage it?
Shewta Gulati > To be honest, it's effortless. I guess it's because of my petite frame that I end up looking the age my character demands on screen.

Cleoshere > Are you dating some one from the glam world?
Shewta Gulati > No, not the glam world.

Ginger_08 > How come Kyun Hota Hai Pyaar ended?
Shewta Gulati > The story got over.

Tina > What is your dream role?
Shewta Gulati > There is no particular role. But would love to do a comedy. I think it is easy to make people cry but difficult to make people laugh. So I would like to try my hands at a comedy.

Sarmishtha > So tell me something about your role in Detective Nani ! How did you bag the role? Is it a movie?
Shewta Gulati > Yes, it is a movie. My director (Romila Mukherjee) saw me in Shagun and thought the role was tailor-made for me. I am playing the teenage lead in the film. I am playing Nani's closest pal in the film.

Ginger_08 > Shweta, how long is Remix gonna continue?
Shewta Gulati > If you guys keep watching it the way you do, it will go on and on and on.

Prettypink > Hey Shweta, do you really talk like "Teeya" in real life too?
Shewta Gulati > Yes, I do. In fact, I love "Teeya." When I see her onscreen, she actually brings a smile to my face. Her innocence is what I like the most about her.

Watdahell > What's your scene after Remix ends? Do you have anything lined up?
Shewta Gulati > As I said earlier, Remix will go on and on. As of now, I am just living "Teeya's" life and am enjoying it. Haven't given a thought to the future.

Sarmishtha > I have read that you had voice training for "Teeya's" character! Is it true? You have really done great, performing this role of 17-18 year old girl!
Shewta Gulati > Thank you so much for the appreciation. Yes, we had a workshop before shooting, which really helped me a lot to modulate my voice the way I do.

Tania > Are films your final destination or will you still consider serials?
Shewta Gulati > I haven't given a serious thought to films yet. This film, Detective Nani just happened to me by chance. I can see myself doing TV for a long, long time.

Riya > How's off screen relationship with "Anvesha" (Priya Wal)?
Shewta Gulati > Great. She's fun to be with. Quite like "Anvesha." I mean, a brat in real life. She's fun-loving and it's cool to spend time with her, off screen as well.

Sign Off Message > To all the surfers - do keep watching Remix . It's your love and affection that keeps us going. Love, Shweta.
