The girl with the million dollar smile,
Avantika Hundal has mesmerized
viewers with her portrayal of Aarushi
Saxena in Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya.
The actress later went missing from
being in action. The pretty girl is now
on a spree to impress masses as
Mihika in Star Plus' popular show Yeh
Hai Mohabbatein (Balaji Telefilms).
In a chat with Indianwikimedia, she
spoke about her journey, co-stars and
more.
Excerpts:
How has your experience been
working with YHM?
The journey has been enthralling. It
doesn't even feel like it's only been a
year. I feel like I have been associated
with the team from the beginning of
the show. I especially want to thank
Sandiip Sikcand sir our creative for
keeping my track captivating
throughout. My work keeps me well
engaged all the time.
Mihika was one of the important
characters in the show; so how
difficult was it for you to get that
connect with the audience?
My whole idea was to add my own
flavour and intensify this character by
keeping the basics intact. Obviously,
it's a risk when you replace someone
but I have been very lucky. The
audience gave me an effusive
welcome and I really appreciate all the
love. I guess I connected with them
instantly.
Was there any pressure to take the
legacy ahead?
Honestly, there wasn't any pressure as
such, as I don't take any pressure
when it comes to such things. For me
the most consequential thing is my
scene. If I do a good scene I have a
happy day, a bad scene spoils my
mood. Anything other than that
doesn't affect me. I am only interested
in doing my job and going back
home.
What according to you is the most
interesting aspect of being an actor?
I feel being an actor is the best job in
the world. You don't have a
monotonous life, everyday you are
doing something different from
yesterday. Acting keeps me connected
to myself; every now and then I learn
something new about myself. I am
put in situations where my character
has to behave in a certain way, so
naturally my mind starts running and
I think of how Avantika would react
in that situation. I guess it's all about
finding the similarities and the
differences between yourself and the
character you are playing. I believe life
is a journey of finding who you really
are and thankfully acting helps me
figure that out from time to time.
While you were away from TV what
was keeping you busy?
My last show was on air for about 3.5
years. After that I wanted to explore
myself on other platforms. So I did a
couple of Punjabi films and also
traveled a lot.
How is your bond with your co-stars
on screen?
I have a great bonding with everyone,
on screen and off screen. They are all
my folks. We are usually chilling
together on the weekends.
You have a huge ensemble cast.
What do you think are the pros and
cons of working in such an
ambiance?
The good part of having a huge cast
is that you actually get to know so
many people and their stories. I am a
good listener. So if I like someone I
want to know everything about them.
Thankfully I don't dislike anyone here.
The only bad part is the waiting game
on set.
As an actor, what kind of a genre do
you prefer the most?
I am happy doing any genre, but I
think comedy is my forte. It's simply a
funny way of being serious.
What kind of a person is Avantika?
Tell us about yourself.
Avantika is always intrigued about
details. Whether it's people or things,
it's the intricacies that fascinate me.
Also I have recently discovered that I
am not very bad with water colour
painting, so that keeps my free time
occupied these days. I am an avid film
watcher and traveller.
Do you have any regrets in life?
A few here and there, but I have
heard time heals everything.
Finally, are you single or in a
relationship?
It is the most frequently asked
question, but I am single.
