Homely hottie

Shilpa Saklani, actor

My best friend is: My husband Apoorva (Agnihotri). He is my soul mate. I can share everything with him.

Something no one knows about me: Contrary to my reserved image, I am an extrovert and enjoy having fun. I get along with kids too.

If I wasn't a TV star: I would have obtained a degree in management or dabbled in some venture.

My dream role: For the first time I will be anchoring a reality show titled 'Mera Star Super Star' involving kids. So it's like a dream come true.

What turns me on: Exotic smells and foot-tapping music.

What I love and hate about my profession: I love the creative satisfaction, the opportunity to play different characters, the affection of fans and the money that follows hard work. But at times, the stress can be restrictive and demanding.

I envy: Nobody! I am at absolute peace with myself.

My food fetish: Chinese cuisine

I'd be lost without: My family and my close friends Rakshanda Khan and Bhavna Pani.

Last time I was on a high: The day I got married.
