Elegant and beautiful Anita Hassanandani is getting lot of compliments not only for her stylish look in Star Plus' Ye Hai Mohabbatein but also for her performance in a negative role. Anita is a versatile actress and is enjoying the current phase of her life, be it acting in a TV show, her perfect life partner or her upcoming Punjabi movie, she is loving it to the core!
Pinkvilla got a chance to interact with her and know more about the actress. Here are the excerpts from the interview-You recently won an Award at Zee Gold Awards, please tell us something about it.
Was unexpected ! Although I'm not a fan of awards felt nice to be appreciated. Realized that it drives you to do better.. so am glad I got this one!
We love the Sarees and your stylish hair dos in Ye Hai Mohhabatein, how do you manage to look fabulous in each frame?Thank you so much for the compliment. Well Shagun has to be perfect in every frame, that's just who she is. My designer Mehek and hair stylist Sarita are doing a fab job. So all thanks to them.
Do you also have a say in your look in the show?Very much, it's a team effort. We discuss it all before hand. I help them with some references and we put it together :)
How much are you enjoying to play a grey shade in the show? We have never seen you in a negative avatar.
Well that's why I took it up, even I've never seen myself as such a b****h LOL! Dint think I would enjoy it this much .. It's challenging so that really excites me.
Do you feel sidelined as Divyanka is the main lead in the show and main focus is on her?I've done second leads in movies , I've done really small roles too. Other actors never bother me, I believe I'm decent enough to make my own place. It's all bout giving it you best in whatever you've got.
You are a Balaji loyalist, why you accepted a grey role in Ekta's show?Simply cos it's different, it's something I've never done before, it's challenging, it's exciting... I mean as an actor what more reasons do you need to play Shagun. Loving every bit of it.
How has been the response so far?Brilliant! Didn't expect sooo much! It's overwhelming actually.
What is the one thing which is common between Shagun and Anita?Hmmm I think the class and the way Shagun dresses are the only two things in common.
Anita, tell us something about your beauty routine, what is the secret behind it?Drinking loads of water/ regularly wash my face with cold water/ gyming / and loads of love and happiness from my close ones!
How is your married life going?Very good! Touch wood.
Does Rohit give you a critical feedback on your acting or he is a fan?He does! He makes me want to do better! He appreciates too... balances it all perfectly.
What is the best quality about him which you fell for?Plenty! But the one thing would be his honesty and I can't miss out on the cute dimples!!
How is your bonding with Ekta Kapoor, she is a good friend of yours?She's family!
Will you participate in Nach Baliye if given an offer?Not a fan of that show. So NO!
How do you gel along with co-actors in YHM? Who is your best buddy and why?Everyone is lovely! I'm also a very easy going person, we all share a great bonding. I love Ruhanika. Best buddy would be Karan since we have been friends forever now. He was in Kavyanjali too if you remember.
What are your future projects, any Film or TV show, please tell us something about them.I'm part of THE HERO, I'm working on a show for MTV. Punjabi movie YAARAN DA KATCHUP Should be out soon.
One message for your fans please.Thank you for all your love! It makes me a better actor, a better person! Love you all. Stay happy! God bless!
