Breaking rules:Chetan-Amir [Sasha-Samir]

...and that's just one of the rules our tellyzens have broken. Here, they tell BT about their escapades

Rules are made to be broken, as many brazen folks believe. Whether unknowingly, for pure kicks or out of majboori, everyone has at one time or the other done what they are not supposed to. While some are lucky to go scot free, others have paid for it. Our 'tellyzens' are no exception. They have knowingly or unknowingly jumped on the wrong side of the fence and got caught for trespassing!
Like Aamir Ali, Saumya of Sahara One's Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, says, "I have broken rules all the time in school and got punished also. The longest punishment was when I had to sit in the middle of the ground for five periods, while there were other students playing football all around me," he laughs. So what was the crime? "I kept a pencil with its point upward when a student was just sitting on the bench," he says with a guffaw. Though the victim did forgive Aamir the same day, the dude got punished for it. "Poor guy had a bruised butt because of me," he chuckles.
Shweta Gulati may have broken umpteen rules in her show Remix (Star One) and real life it wasn't an exception either. "I lied to my parents once that I was going to a friend's place to study. I reached there and told her parents that I wasn't feeling well, so going home. And I went to meet my boyfriend, who got a frantic message on his pager that my dad called my friend's dad to check. I returned to my friend's place and called my dad and said that I was just taking a stroll out," she reminisces, "The following day I got such a pasting! But I have broken the family rule of not partying all night or staying out all night a lot of times."
Tassnim Sheikh breaks one rule everyday to keep the other one. "I don't like being late for shoots," she explains, "So I break the traffic signal when I'm late. When a constable catches me, I give an explanation. My driver tells me what's the point in wasting 10 minutes arguing with the constable when you can wait at the signal for two minutes, but I somehow don't relent," she laughs. Other than that in school Tassnim has broken rules like eating in classroom and ringing the recess bell even before the time was up, for which she was taken to the principal.
Chetan Hansraj too has a story to tell. "When I was 19, I had a bike that I rode without licence for over five years! I used to get caught but I always managed to get free by giving them some strange story that the constables fell for."
So while they not be hardcore rule benders like they play in shows often, they are not quite the Mr or Ms Goody Two Shoes they play either. And then, what is life without a little mischief ?
