Palak aka Panchi's weighty issues!
Purva Desai, TNN | Nov 1, 2012, 12.09PM ISTThis budding Television actress takes her career very seriously, so much so that she gained a couple of kilos for getting into Panchi's character. "When I was approached for the show, the casting director was very clear on casting me for this role as I fit the bill. I have been asked to put on a little weight as everyone calls her Moti in the show."
19 year old Palak, who comes from an upper middle class family which is very sensitive and at the same time very positive, is not new to weighty issues. She earlier gained weight for Do Hanso Ka Joda where she played a character which was also over weight. Says Palak, "I remember I used to insert cushions under my body to look fat and at the end of the show due to excessive sweating, I actually lost weight."
Where most actors cringe on the thought of gaining even a kilo, Palak has no inhibitions what so ever! "As an actor I have to give 100% to the show so I don't mind gaining a few extra kilos. I am allowed to eat all the chocolate cakes and pizzas. What else could I want from life", adds Palak.
