We know DMG is very close to your heart, any favorite character you got there?
Everytime I get question about DMG. Favorite character in DMG has to be Armaan na! How can it be anything else. Armaan is, will be, forever will be my favorite character. When I homeworked about Armaan that this is the language and confidence level one should have so much. I tried wit some, but when that did not work then I actually brought Karan. I think Karan himself is an institute of acting. He is so good. He has to be Armaan. It can't be any other person be Armaan. Because it is the most versatile character. And that character has done so well that people still today ask me to bring back DMG, Armaan and Riddhima. There are so many fond memories with DMG, twenty thousand fond memories. We used to have very good time with each other and pranks. We used to pull pranks on Shilpa in the beginning. She was blunt, she did not understand. But she was so smart. She patiently took the prank first then went away from there. We used to say 'arrey, where she is going'. So, we used to play lot of pranks.The dance sequences I can't forget in DMG, because I think except Drashti and Sunaina all others were pathetic dancers. Shilpa was ok, but she had to be taught. The boys were MashaAllah. It was so difficult to do events with them. But it used to be so much fun that after the event we were like 'aah, exam khatam hua!'. In every event we used to dance, whether its 'salam-e-ishq' or holi song after it shoot got finished, we played the song and we entire team used to dance together. So, these are great memories.
People like KSG and Drashti started of with you like Armaan and Muskaan how do you feel being behind these successful people? How do you feel they still acknowledge you?
No, I don't think I am the reason behind there success. I would just say that I do select people, that's the job I have. After selecting if I feel that s/he has that quality then I give my 100%.
In his inteviews Karan Singh Grover acknowledges, even when its about Qubool Hai, he tells.
I am saying if I have confidence for someone then I would fight and I would be ready to loose my job and I will be ready to stick by that person. KSG had me almost lose my job. Because nobody had confidence on him. They were like, 'he used to play a negative character'. And they were not interested to take him in DMG. I said I am agree to loose my job if he fails. They said, 'are you sure'. I said, 'I will quit if he does not work'. He worked.
(Palki also said about how she selected Barun Sobti for DMG by fighting others though his character could not grow much there, then sent him to sony and then he worked for IPK and was hit and also talked about Drashti, Shantanu in this way).
So, that's what I am saying, coincidentally none becomes successful. Like Karan became, Barun became, Brushika became, Amar became. They were like kind of rejected things. So, when I took it up on my shoulder that no they will shine. So, I worked hard on them and that all things happened. I would say its not my but purely their talent that their trust on me that they worked well with me and they have done so well.
