The beautiful Gauri Pradhan is set to make a
comeback on TV screens after a brief hiatus.
The perpetual beauty will be seen playing a
negative character for the first time in
Colors' Tu Aashiqui. Gauri is at her
glamorous best in the promos and one can't
wait to see her new character.
The actor, who started her career with
historical tele-series Noor Jahan and got
fame post Kutumb and Kyunki Saas Bhi
Kabhi Bahu Thi, has come a long way. In an
exclusive conversation with
TellyChakkar.com, the uber-calm Gauri
Pradhan spoke at length about a lot of
things, some of which were extremely
personal as well.
The lady will be playing a vamp for the first
time in her career. While discussing her
character Anita, she explained, "Anita is an
out and out negative character. The
character is not like regular vamps who are
over the top and scream. She is very subtle;
she is power hungry and is using her
daughter as a pawn to get what she wants.
It is unusually negative, which might click
with the audience.
Gauri has been in the industry for more than
a decade. Amidst times when female actors
after an age are used as sidekicks, Pradhan
on the other hand is satisfied with her
career graph. "As an actor I've done some
fabulous characters. I've always been very
particular and choosy about what I do.
Today I'm very satisfied but as an actor you
always itch to do something new and
different and therefore I picked this show,
she voiced.
Gauri and her better half Hiten have been
married for over a decade. The duo first met
on a set of an ad shoot and later hit it off
with each other again on the sets of their
first popular series Kutumb. While every
other day there are reports in media about a
popular couple filing for divorce and
separating, Hiten-Gauri, by God's grace are
still going strong. On the dynamics of
relationship in this startling industry Gauri
spoke her mind and made a point. "In this
industry there is lot of temptations. You are
working with someone new in every show.
So the physicality and chemistry is bound to
happen and hit you. It's natural, if you don't
feel it then it's not normal.
Taking a brief pause she continued, "At the
same time you've to be very strong headed,
you've to know your values and what you
believe in. So there are temporary
temptations that won't last long. You've to
be smart and get over it.
So haven't these temptations hit the lady?
How come she has remained unaffected by
it?
She strongly reverted, "Personally these
temptations haven't gotten into me. It's
normal to feel that proximity with somebody
but I haven't felt anything that strong or
maybe the bond between me and Hiten is
too strong. I'm a very strong headed I know
what I want and I'm very satisfied and
happy with my personal life. I've got a great
husband, great kids. So it has not happened
with me.
Furthermore, Gauri mentions the bonding
with her hubby after years of marriage is
still strong. "It's still the same. He is so
entertaining even now. I tell people that I
have four kids- 2 kids, my dog and my
husband the oldest one. At least the kids
listen to me when I give them a stern look,
however Hiten doesn't
The model turned actor who has been part
of dozens of TV show, has wish list of
characters she'd like to do. The lady who is
also a businesswoman wants to attempt
something different in her next. She
quipped, "Something like Kangana(Ranaut)
is doing. Of course she is brilliant but now
people are writing roles for her. Author
backed roles! That is something I would
want to do, even if it is on TV.
While talking about the Queen of Bollywood,
Pradhan didn't hesitate to talk about the
Kangana and Hrithik fiasco. "Firstly I would
not get into a situation like that. Whether
she is doing right or wrong is none of my
business. So I won't comment about that.
Yes, but I'm a very private person, So I would
never be in such mess, she concluded.
