Kahaani Achint ki....(Nikhila in a film)

She may be the most villainous vamp on the tube courtesy her roles in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahanii Ghar Ghar Kay. The negative portrayals by Achit Kaur have provided the much needed succor to the narrative and it would be impossible to get the drama sans her character.

Now after scorching the small screen with the heat of her roles, the actor will soon be seen in a film by Anant Mahadevan (of Dil Maange More, Dil Vil Pyar Vyar and Aksar fame). Titled Kahani (once again…but only the initial word!), Achint plays Dino Morea's (the main protagonist) sister.

Admits Achint, "Oscillating between vampish and positive roles has been happening for a long time now. I am on a lookout for different roles; I always try to get into a new character. It would be great to leave a trail of memorable portrayals behind when I call it quits!"

So how easy is it to impersonate different shades of a character? "Well, not very difficult for me. I may not completely relate to the idiosyncrasies of a character per se. But once you try to understand the nuances of the role, the getting-in becomes like a cake walk."

And it's not just acting that keeps Achint on her toes. The actor is also a core entrepreneur; she runs a successful chain of salons by the name 'Beyond the Fringe'. How does she manage all this? "See my only job is to handle the monetary aspect of this enterprise. I have devoted friends who take all other decisions related to the business and it simplifies my life."

Great Achint! Hope your small screen vibes are generated on the big screen too!
