Is priya interested in making it to the big screen? "I hope so,"
she says, adding, "I have been offered a few roles, but I am not
interested in a typical Bollywood movie. I would love to work in

such
a film, I will grab that opportunity."

is into adventure sports.

I believe the show portrays the youth of
the times and that's what works," she says of 'the series.

The lady just loves her small screen self. ''TV is the visa to instant fame. It is such a 'now' world. I think that as television booms it
. will produce stars in their own right."

So is she comfortable with the combination of dyed red hair and the school uniform? 'Absolutely. This is what goes on in schools nowadays. What we show in Remix is just the tip of the iceberg," says the perky girl.
And is she interested in bagging more television roles beyond her current serial? "I have received some TV offers as well as a couple of movie offers. Though I am not really a Bollywood person, I would not mind thinking about the opportunities that have come my way. What I really want to do is a movie belonging to the cross-over genre," says the ambitious debutante. Are item numbers meant for her? "Not for me. I am not an item girl," is her attitude-loaded reply. So till a cross-over happens, stay glued to this bubbly gal on Remix

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."

Star One will become Number 2 to Star Plus. November is the plan. It is growing week on week. TGILC (The Great Indian Laughter Challenge) has really caught on; Remix is doing very well; the game shows are performing. It takes time, it's a new channel. Sony, Zee and Star Plus for that matter have been around for 10 years. And now there are some super hot shows coming up in the next couple of months. In the next two to three months, we'll do exciting programming and build on it and expand it.
