Latest Interview of Ami Trivedi Ji - 12th Sep, 2011

Ami Trivedi: Feels more liberated in comedy-shows!

In a chockablock work schedule, where you end up working at least 10 to 12 hours a day, it is only down to our imagination how these television actors would be surviving it!

To smile (or cry for that matter) through that half an hour everyday on our television screens, TV industry slogs down its day and night. Where scripts become the ultimate ringmasters and there is hardly any space to add your extra bit and give it your creative touch, won't you get exhausted from such a life?

Ami Trivedi is one actress who is been managing two daily laugh-riots and is been winning over the audience in both of her roles. So how does she manage it after all, doesn't she get bored? She sounds as chirpy as any of her on screen characters as she says, "No, not at all, especially because I am working in comedy soaps. Yes, I do work 30 days a month, and do have 10 to 12 hour shifts, but unlike many other genres of television, we have a lot of freedom for performance. A person like me who is into this profession because of her sheer love of acting would only seek for the creative space and satisfaction which I find every day. We don't just read lines or do as told but there is space to give your inputs, make changes, add your nuances and paint your own character in your own way. This is more than enough to keep you excited."

It appears that comedy shows do have space to grow into memorable characters in smaller or bigger role in comparison to other daily soaps. Comedy may be called a difficult genre of acting, but so is said that it can give an artist a lot more creative satisfaction. 

Ami Trivedi Ji in Ahmedabad for Ganesha Chaturthi

‘WOULD LOVE TO DO HINDI FILMS SOME DAY’

Says vivacious telly star Ami Trivedi in a freewheeling chat with Ahmedabad Times.

Interviewed by Nidhin M Patel.

 It’s almost midnight. Being a TV actress, she’s finished long hours of shooting in Mumbai before presenting herself for a festive celebration in Ahmedabad, and soon after she’d return to Mumbai so she doesn’t miss on her calltime on sets of popular laugh riots Papad Pol or Sajan Re Jhooth Mat Bolo. But though, as she chats, known television and theatre actress, Ami Trivedi, sounded as chirpy as her character Kokila. 

    Where most television stars find it difficult to manage one serial properly, how does she manage to act in two? “Because I am a workaholic and work is my passion,” Ami says adding, “I love being in front of camera, I love being on screen, I love acting. So yes, as it gets physically tiresome, it also is the mental rejuvenation for me and stress accounts to zero at the end of the day.” 

    Ami is the daughter of Gujarati theater veteran Tushar Trivedi. She almost grew up on theatre and in front of camera. Ami says, “It has always been advantageous for me. Initially people knew me as Tusharbhai’s daughter only. I was all pampered and spoiled. Acting is in my genes and I learnt to never get carried away by fame.” 

    From theatre to television and even as voice-over artist, Ami had already seen the life of a child star before becoming a leading lady on small screen. Ask her about all these experiences and she says modestly, “I won’t say as a child star,” and adds, “But yes, as a child, the biggest pulling factor was fame as you hardly understand anything else. Gradually as I grew up, I discovered that theatre is my real space.” 

    So doesn’t she miss being on stage now? Ami says, “Always. But it’s acting that matters for me at the end of the day. When I am doing television, I miss theatre and vice-versa. But I have neither left theatre nor I will. Theatre will always be where I was born as an actor.” Ask her about doing a film and she says, “I have been saying that television is as big as Bollywood now. People treat us with much love and affection. If given a good opportunity, I will surely work in movies however I am pretty happy even being on TV.” 

    She has been part of many saas-bahu sagas before opting for the comedy genre, how she would compare both the genres? “Both have their own place. Saas-bahu sagas are as popular as comedy-shows. On the personal front, I’m enjoying myself thoroughly being part of comedy genre right now.” 

    And how difficult or easy to have a life partner who is not from the industry? Ami says, “Being a non-industry person, he understands me more than anyone. It was because of him that I accepted Papad Pol. He copes up with my long working hours quite nicely.” And with that she signs off as she gets ready to leave for the airport.

Ami Trivedi Ji's latest short interview!! Tells about her love for her place and food :)

“LOKHANDWALA IS HOME AWAY FROM HOME”

SAYS AMI TRIVEDI, THE POPULAR KOKILA FROM THE SHOW PAPAD POL

From the bubbly Kittu in Sahara’s Kittu Sab Jaanti Hai to the dreamy Kokila in Sab’s new show Papad Pol, Ami Trivedi who was recently seen in Sajan Re Jhooth Mat Bolo believes she is lucky to reside in one of the most sought-after areas of Mumbai, Lokhandwala, Andheri (W).
    Originally hailing from Marine Lines, this cheerful and famous Telly actress has been living in Lokhandwala with her husband for almost two years now. The best part about this place, according to her, is the vibrancy that the people exude here. “When you walk out of your house into the market complex, you can see the whole place bustling with people of all shapes and sizes. Since I have been born and brought up in town, I have noticed a marked difference in the lifestyles and attitudes of the people living in town and suburbs. But I have never felt like I did not belong to this place. People here make me feel at ease,” adds Ami.
    Like her character Kokila in Papad Pol, Ami is also a dreamy person and has high ambitions and aspirations in real life as well. She has done Gujarati theatre for many years. Apart from Television, she herself has done voice over in some famous Hindi versions of animated films like “The Incredibles” and “Chicken Little.”
    Ami loves the food in Lokhandwala market. “I can just step out of my house any time of the day and get the food of my liking. I love to have lassi at Rajput’s, frankies from Breadkraft, and for cakes and pastries from Warden Bakery. Naturals ice cream is like a daily activity for me. Since am not a part person I love to go to all these places and eat to my heart’s delight,” quips Ami. 
    Ami, who is a pretty reserved girl by nature, is excited to play a bubbly and fullof-life character in the SAB show, Papd Pol. “I am doing something like this for the first time and very excited about it. My long choti is already the talk of the town and people are loving me in this new look.”
    We wish Ami all the luck for her reel as well as real life.

“I’VE HAD TO SACRIFICE MANY THINGS AFTER MARRIAGE”

AMI TRIVEDI DISCLOSES ALL ABOUT HER MARRIED LIFE!

Taken from :- http://www.magnamags.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7752&Itemid=55

She started her career with Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai and went on to play notable characters in Zaara, Jaane Kya Baat Hui and Bajega Band Baaja to name a few. Today, making us laugh with her comical character Kokila Parikh in Papad Pol …Shahbuddin Rathod Ki Rangeen Duniya, one can say with certainty that Ami Trivedi has arrived. Besides leaving people in splits with her Kokila act, she was recently in the news as she completed a year of matrimonial bliss. Other than acting, if there’s another role she’s enjoying to the T, it is that of a loving wife. With all such goings-on in the perky actress’s life, I can definitely say that this is one girl who knows the perfect recipe to strike a balance between her personal and professional lives. Showtime caught-up with the happy-go-lucky lady for a chat.

Most people believe that it’s easier to make people cry than make them laugh. And who better than Ami would know that. From the usual drama to comedy, her career has come a full circle. If there’s one genre that is currently trending in the industry, it is comedy. Says Ami, “As a viewer, after a hard day of work, if I want to come back home and relax, I’d stay away from watching a daily soap as it would tire me all the more. Comedy is something that you can catch up on even while you surf channels. There’s no connectivity as such. And it sure brings a smile to your face.” Her role in Papad Pol is eliciting her quite a few compliments. She admits, “I miss the show even if I’m on vacation. The people here are like family to me. I don’t think I ever got bored on the set. I’m very attached to the show and after Kittu… if there’s something really big that’s happened in my life, it has to be Papad Pol.”

So was it a conscious decision to shift to comedy after having tried her hand at other genres? “I have been very fortunate. I was doing Jaane Kya Baat Hui, which was a typical daily. Whatever I had done post Kittu…was all regular stuff. This was the time when I was hooked on to SAB TV because of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. I had always wished to do something similar. I think there’s some kind of supernatural power that keeps guiding me because every time I’ve wished for something from the bottom of my heart, I’ve got it,” she asserts.

Now that she realizes taking up comedy has been a rather smart move on her part, has she bid adieu to daily soaps completely? She says, “I’m not restricting myself but due to time constraints I can’t do anything other than this show. If there’s something substantial after six months, I’m open to taking it up.” Running through her career graph, I notice how she’s made her mark in various kinds of roles. I ask her if the fear of being typecast was the reason to choose distinguished characters and she explains, “I’m probably one of the few actresses who has done everything. From a protagonist to a regular bahu to negative characters to comedy, I’ve almost tried it all. The audience is ready to accept me in different roles. So why should I just stick to one thing?”

A while ago, the actress completed a blissful year of marriage. She informs, “The year went by so fast that we didn’t even realize it. It still feels like we just got married. It’s like I just came back from my honeymoon! But the fact that we don’t know how time flew by goes to show that we enjoy each other’s company and that we’re far from being bored.” Well, that sure is a good sign. The actress reveals that a lot of positive things have taken place for the couple. “We both flourished work-wise. I got Papad Pol. Post marriage, I don’t think I’ve had a normal day of ghar aao, khaana pakao till date. It’s been a joyride for me,” Ami says happily.

They say with marriage comes a lot of change and compromise. Quiz her on that and she says with utmost honesty, “Before marriage, we met like lovers, but now there is a lot of responsibility. My husband and I come from two completely dissimilar families. So his customs, his traditions and style of living was something that I had to adapt to.”

Considering both husband and wife have a busy schedule, how do they manage to spend time together? “We may get less time with each other but we sure spend a lot of quality time together. Whatever time we got with each other in this one year, we made sure we had a blast. Working in a daily means you have to prioritize. It’s natural for my husband to be my priority. If I’m working, I give my 100 per cent to that but when I’m not, my time goes to my family. I do have to sacrifice many other things. I can’t go partying with my friends. I guess, once you’re a married working woman, socializing is reduced. In fact, it’s become zero for me but I must say I have no regrets at all. Whatever time I spend with my husband and family is very important and I find immense happiness in that alone,” says the doting wife.

As for starting a family, the actress maintains the not yet-ready stance. She justifies, “I wouldn’t want to ‘plan’ a child. It’s something made out of love. It becomes a very mechanical way of living a life then. But to be honest, I’m trying to avoid starting a family now because I’m also committed to my work. Personally too, we both wish to grow in our own lives at the moment. When we are ready to take responsibility, it will happen. We have yet to make it big in our lives before we have a baby.”

Having successfully taken up a variety of roles, can we ever see her in reality shows too? “I love watching Comedy Circus. I haven’t given thought to whether I’d like to be there because I’m too pre-occupied with the work in hand. I have personal restrictions too. I’m no glam doll. I look at myself as a complete Indian woman and by nature, I am a little conservative. Not that all the women in Comedy Circus have to be glamorous but if they do have something which suits me, I’m sure I’ll do it,” she says. While she may take up reality shows like these, a Bigg Boss is a strict no-no for her. “I’m a very private person. I feel my fans love to see me as Kokila and want to believe and imagine that this woman is just like her character in real life too. I don’t want to distort that image. I want them to live in their imagination. Not that there is a psychic side to me but if I know a Shah Rukh Khan in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, I’d like to remember him as Raj. If I get to know him personally, and find out he’s a completely different person, as a fan I will be disappointed. That’s the reason why I don’t want to break that image. So, Bigg Boss is out of question.”

As she reflects upon her journey till date, one can easily notice the feeling of contentment in her though she has had her share of ups and downs. She smiles and says, “I wouldn’t say it was a very smooth ride. There have been shows where I have enjoyed myself to the core and there have been times when I’ve thought to myself mujhe yahaan se nikaalo, main yeh sab sehen nahi kar sakti. There have been times when I’ve cried my eyes out because I haven’t got time for myself and I’ve even seen those days when I’ve sat at home and cried for work. I think I’ve experienced everything in life. The best part about my career has been that so far my life has not been monotonous at all. It’s all been very colourful and fulfilling. I hope this is not the end and that there’s a lot more to come.” For a girl who takes every challenge as a fresh beginning, there is no stopping her.

Ami Ji really has a heart of GOLD..Read on....

This is an extract of an OLD and short interview about the NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS of our TV actors.

On the other hand, we have the young and talented Ami Trivedi who plays Kituu in Kituu Sabb Janti Hai who has made a resolution that she will lose some weight and stay fit, come what may. ''I have made resolutions earlier and succeeded in keeping them but they haven't been difficult ones,'' she laughs and adds, ''This year I want to do good work, earn lots of money. I dream of adopting a child or sponsoring a child. I hope all of it happens.''

‘No boyfriends, only a husband for me’ - Ami Trivedi

Interview published in TOI in 2008! All the credit goes to them, I'm just posting it here.

For television actress Ami Trivedi, her trip into the entertainment world has been like a "platter laid" especially for her. With a family background of theatre persons, the small screen 'Kittu' finds it but natural to be interested in acting. She herself has been actively involved with theatre for over eight years now. 

While talking about her entrance in the television world, Ami admits, "I didn't even get my photographs clicked for self promotion. I just went for the audition of Kittu Sabh Janti Hai on the insistence of a co-ordinator and the next thing I knew was that I had bagged the role." 

While Ami has had a brief stint with anchoring previously, she finds it different from the present show Indiadhanush (NDTV Imagine). She explains, "It's a more realistic genre that deals with the Indian culture and its different facets. It is fun to host the show since I get to know so many new facts about India. Moreover, working with Sidhharthji has been a learning experience. He has a striking persona and I look up to him as a fatherly figure." 

With a smart line up of projects keeping her busy throughout the month, Ami hardly finds time to pursue her hobbies, dancing and listening to music anymore. Apart from Kittu ... and Indiadhanush , she has also another show, Zaara . Nevertheless, she intends to start a production house of her own in the near future apart from trying her hands at Bollywood. 

While marriage definitely isn't on the cards in the near future, as "my entire focus is on my career as of now. I don't have a boyfriend. I don't believe in the funda of having boy-friends, I'm a very conservative person and believe in commitment. There'll only be a husband for me." So, what is it that she would be looking for in her guy? She replies, "I look for commitment, love, honesty and very expressive eyes. I would need pampering as well, at times."

Ami Trivedi Ji in Lucknow for publicity of her serial "Papad Pol" - January 19th, 2011 (Interview)

Interview given on Sajan Re Sets!!

Why Ami Trivedi Visits Church Every Wednesday!

It must be sounding different that Ami Trivedi a.k.a Kokila of ‘Papad Pol’, being a Gujarati girl and married to a Maarwadi boy recently visits church every Wednesday. Seems surprising and thus we asked her about the reason for which she visits church regularly despite not being a Christian.

Obviously, there is no restriction for a person to visit church but we are curious to know what exactly happened with Ami that she visits church every Wednesday without fail.

While conversing with TellyCafe she says, “I never fail to visit church on Wednesday and there is a special reason to be there every week. Before I got the chance to act in ‘Kittu Sab Janti Hai’, I had just coincidently visited a church and prayed to God to help me make my parents proud. Immediately after that I got the lead role in the show. Myparents said that they were the happiest parents on the earth and were very proud to see me on screen. So my dream was fulfilled immediately after my visit to church”.

Ami adds further, “Since then to keep in touch with the spirituality,  I always visit the church every Wednesday without fail and that’s all the reason why I visit church regularly”.

That’s great Ami, even after getting what you want, you didn’t forgotten to visit the place. Keep it up!

“I Aspired To Be A Doctor And Not Actor” : Ami Trivedi

Ami Trivedi is a well-known name. And if not with her real name she is known with her character name Kokila of SAB TV’s new offering ‘Papad Pol’. The girl was very much excited to speak to TellyCafe when we informed her that she was the one in our list of celebrity interviews. TellyCafe brings Ami Trivedi’s interview especially for you.

How is Ami in real life apart from her on-screen behavior? I am a typical Cancerian, shy with the unknown surrounding but once when I get into it, I am no more an introvert. I will be just like any crazy and silly person. I am sensible too. I never ever think about my future and my past but I always live in today.

How did you start your journey in this industry? Well, I started acting in childhood. I had worked as a child artist as well. I did theatres and received appreciation of the audience. Then I took a gap for my studies in 10th and 12th and then again I got started with my acting. After college I got my first break for ‘Babul Ki Duayen Leti Ja’, followed by, ‘Kittu Sab Janti Hai’, ‘Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo’ and now ‘Papad Pol’. The journey was great and I gained lot of experience but I will also not forget that once I have planned to be a doctor by profession and not an actor.

Share something about you marriage Well, finally after 4 years of hard wait, I got married to my lover boy Neeraj Sanghai. We both met through a common friend. And after he saw me on the hoarding of ‘Kittu Sab…’ he contacted me on my phone and started making a rapport with me. Our story started like a daily soap and then slowly and gradually I too started thinking that he is not bad and it is OK to get with him. There were many problems in my marriage as he is not of my caste. But finally after 4 years, we are happily married to each other.

Do you find any changes in your lifestyle after marriage? No, and for that I thank my husband as he is the one who has made me stay as I am. Before marriage my mom never allowed me to do any thing in the kitchen and after my marriage in my in-laws house, I am being treated the same way but sometimes I purposefully enter the kitchen and try new food items, which are also liked by my in-laws. But my husband had given me all the freedom to be as I am and not to change a bit.

You are seen essaying Gujarati speaking girl in your recent shows. Is there any special reason for that? No actually. I fitted very well into that ascent of a Gujarati girl and my role in ‘Sajan Re...’ was not of a Gujarati girl but of a banjaran. While working on the character I thought that the character can be made more interesting with Kathewadi ascent. The idea worked. It just happened, nothing was planned. And ‘Papad Pol’ itself is based on Gujarati novel so being Gujarati over there was a coincident.

Share a memorable moment till date! There are many but one which I cannot forget at any moment was a birthday of mine. Before my marriage, on one of my birthdays Neeraj wanted to spend at least sometime with me. He knew that I visit church every Wednesday and coincidentally my birthday fell on a Wednesday. To give me surprise, he lit candles on each stair of the Bandra church which was a delight to see. Not only that after that he took me to drive and the dickey of the car was full of gifts. That birthday was the most memorable and delightful for me.

FAMILY TIES! Ami Trivedi Ji & her Mummy!

Ami Trivedi juggled between studies and the stage for years, before making her debut in the alternative reality world of television. She quickly stole the limelight as the effervescent Kituu in the serial 'Kituu Sab Janti Hai' on Sahara One, playing the role of a young extrovert 20-something girl who takes the plunge to face the professional world. She confesses to being truly in love with her Gujarati culture — be it the clothes, the exuberant dandiya, or the food which she misses the most when shooting on the sets.


Ami's mother Jaya is the greatest inspiration in her life. Jaya commutes between Mumbai and London where her husband Tusshar Trivedi works as a drama director at the Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan. When she's in Mumbai, she frequently visits her daughter on the sets with homemade food and also helps her to select the right kind of work.


AMI:
Mom is the backbone of our family and takes care of all the housework. Had it not been for Mama, I wouldn't have been able to work in television. My mother always complains about how naughty I was when I was a child but she's the sweetest person I have come across. As my father was away in the UK, she was the person who was around all the time when I was growing up. She has been the greatest pillar of strength in both my professional and personal life. 

I was not a spoilt child but my brother Karan is. I remember when I said that I wanted to become an actor, my father was against it. But my mother stood beside me and supported my decision. In fact, when I was in school, I never thought that I would grow up to be a television actress. I was very shy in school but used to do very well in studies. My parents never complained about my studies, as I would always come first.

Since I shoot the whole day, it's not convenient for me to stay at my parent's place which is located at Marine Lines. Instead, I stay at my uncle's place in Andheri, which is near the studio. Therefore, the one thing that I miss is my ghar ka khana made by my mother. But she makes up for it by bringing homemade food for me on the sets sometimes.

The one quality which I really like in my mother is that she is very honest and knows how to handle situations. She never imposes her views on me but explains the pros and cons of every situation. She takes care of each and every aspect of my life and pampers me a lot.


JAYA: 
Ami was not bratty in school but yes, she was naughty. It was my son Karan who's one-and-a-half years younger than Ami, who used to give me all the trouble. We always had high expectations from Ami as she used to come first in her exams. By contrast, Karan was not good at studies and used to fail in his exams. But his best friend was Ami and she used to come to his aid whenever his father scolded him. I remember that when the results came out, my husband used to ask Ami what she wanted. And every time she used to request him not to scold Karan if his results were not up to the mark.

What I like about Ami is that even after achieving fame, she still remains very down-to-earth and simple. Once there was an accident on the road where an old woman was injured. At that time, she was passing by and stopped her car to help the old lady. She took her to the nearby hospital and immediately called me from there. I think this shows that she has a soft heart and is basically a good human being. I always tell her to be honest in her dealings with people. Ami gets emotionally upset if people don't praise her work. She shares every little secret with me and keeps calling me throughout the day.

As a child, she was very shy and was exactly the opposite of my son Karan. But what I can't stand is her choice of clothes. Though she hardly gets time to shop for clothes, if she happens to go on her own, she'll inevitably pick up the wrong stuff. Also she's a bit superstitious and if somebody tells her that a particular outfit doesn't suit her, she'll never wear that dress again.

Both my children love to surprise me on my birthday or when I come back from the UK. They stock the fridge with lots of vegetables and fruits so that I don't have to bother about going grocery shopping when I return home. Sometimes I also drop into Ami's sets with homemade food as she loves dhoklas. I always worry about her food as nowadays she's staying at her uncle's place. Ami also makes it a point to call up when she reaches her uncle's home at night. I go to sleep only after getting her call because I always worry about her erratic timings. 

Though I might not show it, I am proud of my daughter. Her role of Miss Know-All in Kituu Sab Janti Haisuits her perfectly, as in real life too Ami has solutions for everything. And I don't really have any problems about being referred to as Ami Trivedi's mother. It just so happens that nowadays I have to take advice from her about day-to-day things.

I LOVE GORGING ON THE STREET FOOD IN AHMEDABAD! - Ami Trivedi

Ami Trivedi aka Kittu in the telly world is back with a comic role this time. Comedy is one genre that all actors are experimenting with, and Ami is no exception to that. With a dazzling smile and twinkling eyes, Ami exuded some great confidence when she was in the city to promote her new show Papad Pol.

AAPNU AMDAVAD

I have been to Ahmedabad several times for stage shows. My cousins live here, so I generally freak out with them and live like a typical Amdavadi here. I have roamed around the streets here on two wheelers on C G road and Law Garden roads. I just love gorging on the street food here. I regularly buy chaniya cholis when I come here.

NEW AVATAAR

For her new role, Ami will be wearing a Gujarati sari and having a long choti. I am a little scared as the character I am playing of Kokila Parikh, is not in the original story a chirpy, filmy and energetic girl. Her only aim is to keep her family happy. Comedy is not my forte but I enjoy doing it. It feels good when people see me, laugh at me and remember me. My mother-in-law loves me in this new role married and in a sari. She doesnt like me in negative characters. My husband Neeraj (Niraj) Sanghai loves me in the new show, he thinks I am looking hot in the posters. Generally he never compliments me.

LOVE FOR THEATRE

I have a theatre background its almost five to six years since I am performing on stage. My dad Tushar Trivedi is a well known theatre actor and my brother Karan Trivedi is also a theatre actor. I have done several plays (15) and on small screen, I want to experiment with different genres. I dont plan my future so I will do any work that comes my way. In the past, Ami was seen in TV shows like Instant Kichdi, Kittu Sab Janti Hai, Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo, Kumkum-Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan, Rakhi - Ek Atoot Rishte Ki Dor and Zaara - Pyaar Ki Saugat.

LOVE STORY

I have recently been married but my career life hasnt changed much. My husband always allows me to do what I want to do. He keeps telling me, I want you to work till you are 50 years otherwise one day dont tell me that you were just a housewife and you couldnt do anything. I dont have to make too many efforts to manage home and work, as we both are working. Whenever we get the time we make the best out of it. I dated him for four years and we still live like a girlfriend and boyfriend.

Why Doesn't Ami Trivedi Look into the Mirror?

Why Doesn't Ami Trivedi Look into the Mirror?

Katyayani Purohit may be a tongue twister but it has twisted Sahara One’s TRPs in its favour. Let’s cut short Katyayani and how about making it Kituu – now that makes sense! It also made sense to Ami Trivedi who accepted the role of Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai currently engaging viewers on Sahara One - the girl in the news, on the hoardings across the city and the girl who has no time to look into the mirror. 

For Ami, Kituu was a blessing in disguise. It became an escape route for her – escape from the drudgery and the boring role she would have had to play if her dad, who was dead against her acting, had his way.
 
“Thank God Kituu came along otherwise my dad would’ve been looking for boys for me… and I would’ve been married. He is the jaldi shaadi karlo types. Kituu saved me. Of course in the show it’s the other way round. My mum wants me to get married.”
 
Ami was studying to be a doctor, but as luck would have it, she ended up acting. Ami says, “Acting always interested me so I got into it. I have been a child artiste and I’ve also done theatre.”
 
Kituu is her first role as a lead and “it’s been a wonderful experience although doing a daily is very hectic.”
 
Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai is about a middle-class but carefree girl Kituu who is struggling to make her mark as a journalist and who eventually becomes the well-known face across the nation as a determined and a hard-core journalist. “Katyayani Purohit is an intelligent smart girl. As the story moves forward she becomes more subtle in her behaviour. It’s a lot of fun to play a journalist although right now I’m playing the part of a trainee,” she coos.
 
“Everyone calls me Kituu. The number of hoardings and posters I’ve seen of myself it’s really a head rush. I don’t look at myself in the mirror so often.”
 
A true Mumbaiya her parents remote-control her life from London In her spare time she loves to read Archie’s comic and is currently hooked onto Harry Potter. She also has some bad habits - like talking on her cell while driving. Wonder if she’s heard of something called the hands free!
 
“I don’t have hands free because the moment any electronic equipment comes into my hands it stops working for some reason. The whole day I’m busy shooting, so whenever I have to catch up with friends or do some interviews it’s while I’m driving. Otherwise I just don’t have the time,” complains Ami.
 
But she is glad that she is doing a serial that is fresh in its concept and is unlike the saas bahu bores. “I think people are now bored of saas bahu types. Jassi... worked quite well. The audience want to see something different. I think anything different now will work. Everyone is telling me not to change the storyline and keep it the way it is. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will be this way.”
 
Hope you can influence the system! If you do Ami, we guarantee that you’ll have lesser time to look into the mirror. WHY? Because by then the number of hoardings would have increased three-fold…!
