My character enjoys her life to the fullest: Ami Trivedi

Ami Trivedi who plays Kokila in the newly launched show, 'Papad Pol-Shahbuddin Rathod Ki Rangeen Duniya’ on SAB TV, shares her views about her character she plays in a short talk with IndianExpress.com.

What was the most difficult part for you to get into the skin of the character 'Kokila' in Papad Pol?

This character does not exist in the original book. We have invented this character. Other characters have a detailed description in the book.

What is the biggest connect which your character holds for the audience?

Characters are very much lost in their own world. Kokila is the character who does not take her life seriously. She would do whatever she feels like. She would not stop from doing something which she likes, even if she has been warned against it. She does not take her life too seriously and enjoys life to the fullest and sports the thick skinned character.

What is the biggest satisfaction you get from being a part of this show?

I have grown up reading Shahbuddin Ji’s stories and it is a wonderful opportunity to be a part of such an ensemble cast and enact the part of Kokila in the show.

What is the most tricky part at your end in playing this character?

The way she (Kokila) talks is the most tricky part of my character.

To what extent has your theater background helped you in giving life to your character?

Because I am from theater, I can think, talk and behave like my character.

As a real life person what distinct trait/traits you share with your character?

(Giggles)..Femininity..There are many positive things which I would like to imbibe from my character.

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!

Kituu compared to Waheeda Rehman - Honor for Ami Trivedi!

Noted film director Priyadarshan complimented Ami Trivedi (of Sahara One's Kituu Sab Jaantii Hai) after watching her performance. "I saw the episode last night.

"I am elated," was all Ami could say when asked for a reaction.

“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.
