Tina Parekh's all set for her big day
But she plans to continue working even after her marriage
RESHMA S KULKARNI
Tina Parekh's life is on an upswing for two reasons: one, the actor, who was being sorely missed in Star Plus' Kasautii Zindagi Kay after her character Mukti was killed in the serial, has come back onto the show, much to the collective relief of her audience and more importantly, Tina has recently gotten engaged to journalist-turned-musician Vikram Hazra and will be tying the knot early next year!
Tina is extremely excited about these two important developments in her life as is evident when she says, "I was amazed to get the kind of response I did when Mukti's character went off air. I was hounded about when was I going to come back. In fact, I recently had an old lady's daughter told me that her mother refused to eat dinner, the day Mukti was shown dead!"
Tina has recently completed a Pakistani show called Dhadkan and will now host a countdown show.
Talking about her hush-hush love life and engagement, Shruti says, "It was not an intentional move. I wanted to talk about him only after things were more concrete. I met him some three years back, during one of his concerts for the Art of Living foundation, where he also teaches and where I too have been doing courses for a long time. We happened to click and found that we had common friends, with whom we started going around in a group. Slowly, we realised our feelings for each other and decided to get married. Our families had gone to Guruji (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) to fix a marriage date, when he said that I will give you a gift from my side and to our surprise, got us engaged then and there! It was all very sudden and now we are going to get married in February." About her fiance, Tina says that he is the most caring, co-operative and talented individual she has come across. "He does so much that he himself doesn't realise the value of what he is doing." Tina intends to continue working after marriage "Vikram is very supportive about that," she says. In fact, Tina is now looking at doing a stint in theatre and also films. "But not commercial films! I'm very sure that I'd love to do only parallel cinema. Commercial cinema has and never will excite me" she says.
