HARSHADA REGE
It's often said that two actresses can't be friends but the women in the television industry seem to defy that norm. Aparna Tilak and Shveta Salve are two such actors who love hanging out together even after work. The girls took off for a trip to Goa recently, after the first season of their show Left Right Left on SAB got wrapped up. And to make it an all girls trip, they decided to have some fun minus their respective partners. "We had four days and we decided to make the most of it. Shveta is a pro at making the required arrangments. She did everything from doing the hotel bookings to travel ararngement, I just had to follow her," says Aparna.
The two girls turned a lot of heads in Goa. But not all encounters were pleasant. "It's surprising, but the guys who hit on us were foreigners. We could deal with most of them, but on one particular evening we got very angry with two men who were clicking our pictures. At first we tried to avoid a confrontation but they wouldn't leave us alone. That's when we grabbed their camera. Thankfully, things were sorted out and we left the place," says Aparna.
Shveta says, "The trip was planned a while back. Another friend of mine called Nisha Merchant came along. Aparna does panic sometime, but since I know the place very well we didn't have any problem."
Speaking about the trip, Shveta adds, "We did everything from playing on the beach to eating local delicacies. We had fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We visited all the markets and had a great time bargaining."
Aparna feels that if two actors manage to look beyond their professional gains, they can become friends. "We have never asked each other about the projects we have signed or are looking at. I know it's easier said than done but we have been friends for a while now and I don't think anything can change that," adds Aparna. Well this is definitely girl power at its best!
