What do Priya (Anvesha), Sakshi (Vrinda) and Surili (Maria Priya) have in common, apart from the fact that they feature in the same serial, Remix (Star One)? The three of them also live together!
When Delhi girls Priya and Sakshi came to Mumbai, they started off living at Yari Road and Four Bungalows. And Surili, who lives in Vashi, used to travel long distances daily.
Three is company
The three girls met on the sets of Remix, a show in which they all act. From day one, it was clear to the trio, as well as everyone around them, that "three is company".
"We decided that we all should rent a place together. It would be fun, and save everyone a lot of money," says Priya. "And, the Mumbai traffic was killing us; we were looking for something close to Kamalistan Studio, where we shoot regularly."
So the girls got together and rented a two-bedroom flat in Malad (East). Priya has a room to herself, while Sakshi and Surili share the other room.
"We have divided the rent accordingly. I like to have a little more space," says Priya.
Shared dreams
What's an average day like at home when the girls are not working? "We are mostly chatting in a common room until we feel sleepy," says Sakshi, adding, "We talk about almost everything under the sun.
We share our secrets, and we share our dreams." Surili says the three don't seem to get enough of each other. "On the sets too, we chat all the time.
The unitwallahs ask us why we don't get bored with each other," she laughs.
The girls have hired a maid who keeps the house clean and the food ready. "We all love chicken. And we take turns to cook chicken, on Sundays, when we generally don't have to shoot."
While Surili's mom comes down from Vashi once in a while, Priya and Sakshi's parents in Delhi have still not visited their daughters.
"We don't have a car yet. We commute together by auto," says Sakshi. "We even wear each other's clothes before starting from home. We fit in easily. Kisi ko pata bhi nahin chalta."
Concludes Surili, "We gel so well. Our close proximity is one of the reasons why our output is good in Remix. It is very important to have mental peace and fun at home if one needs to give a hundred percent at work."
