It's the status quo for a television actor to shoot for long hours, or move from one set to the other working in between shows.
However, Neha Bamb has redefined work habits for herself when she recently flew to Hyderabad for a Telugu film, only to report on the sets of her show Kaisa Ye Pyaar Hai the same evening.
High-flyer
Says Neha, "I have been doing South films for quite some time. Recently, I wrapped up the shoot for my new Telugu film with Siddharth (of Rang De Basanti fame).
It was crazy because I would take the 5.30 am flight out of Mumbai, and then report back in the city for my show in the evening at 7. It was really tiring, but I couldn't do much about it. I am required for most of the scenes in Kaisa… and there was no way I could let the show be affected."
Neha flew in and out of town for five days, till she completed her schedule for the film. On her experience working with Siddharth, she says, "He's an absolute gentleman. I was the only girl on the set and he would make sure I was comfortable. I am really looking forward to the release of this film."
On the personal front, Neha says she is ready to do more films as long as she can manage it with her television schedule. "Kaisa… has given me immense fame and adulation. I have definitely improved as an artiste."
Chatterbox
After visiting the UK and meeting her female fans, Neha realised many of them were emulating her dressing sense. "I have seen girls go to clubs in London wearing clothes similar to what I wear on the show. This puts additional responsibility on me, and I make sure that I look good."
About her much talked about tiff with co-stars Amit Tandon and Iqbal Khan, Neha says that they didn't become friends immediately. "So much has been spoken about my issues with Iqbal and Amit. The fact is that we did take time to become friends.
You don't expect someone to hug a total stranger and ask how's he doing on the first day of shoot. Today, Iqbal and I have to be told to keep quiet between shots as we keep chatting with each other."
Does she miss dating some one due to her hectic work schedule? "I am very open to the idea of dating. But I expect the person to respect my work and me. I am just 20, there's lot of time for love and other things to follow."
