Aanchal Dwivedi, the wicked Kaveri in Saat Phere agreed to do Party, a weekly comedy on SAB because she wanted a change from her highly emotional soap. She says, "I was getting bored with the emotional overdose and high-voltage drama which has been a constant part of Saloni's story for the past two years. I desperately needed a break and Party came to me in the form of a stress buster." It's very hard to believe that Kaveri would actually get bored of making Saloni's life miserable in the show. So is Aanchal very different from her screen persona? "Yes, unlike my screen image I am a carefree girl who believes in the saying, 'live and let live.' It took me three months to understand the role and get into the skin of the character," says the actress who plays a chilled out, carefree girl called Ira in Party. But this doesn't mean she doesn't like playing Kaveri. "I have no problem playing a negative role as long as my viewers enjoy it. It's better to bite and spit venom than play a boring housewife who is confined to kitchen politics." Aanchal might be comfortable playing Kaveri, but what about wearing those garish clothes in the serial? "It's very important to have confidence. I am comfortable sporting both a sari with inch thick sindoor and an ensemble with a plunging neckline. Besides, at the end of the day my performance not what I wear on screen, should do the talking." |
