Zitat des Tages von Sriti Jha:
I am quite no-nonsense myself.
Never say never. When love happens, it just happens. The industry is full of nice people, and there are no rights and wrongs.
I was born in Begusarai in Bihar. Then I spent 10 years in Kolkata and later hopped from Kathmandu to Delhi and, finally, Mumbai.
We breathe life into a role, and it's overwhelming to receive positive feedback.
I am immensely proud of 'Kumkum Bhagya.'
I've been missing playing Pragya ever since I started shooting as Munni. I hope viewers will be happy to see their favourite character Pragya back on 'Kumkum Bhagya' and will welcome me back with the same love they have been showering all this time.
I really don't have any struggle story to tell about my stint in Tellytown.
My audition for 'Dhoom Machale Dhoom' was the turning point of my life.
The only thing that I have to be assured of is that the character must be negative for a sensible reason. She should not be behind everyone's life just for fun, which is the case in many serials. Moreover, it will also test my potential as an actor, so playing a negative character would be an interesting challenge for me.
I hail from a small town. My parents were never apprehensive about my decision to take up acting - they've been a constant support to me.
It's fun to play a character that you can identify with.
I have just been lucky to get challenging characters every time.
I enjoy doing TV than movies. I do enjoy watching music reality shows but never get approached to participate in reality shows. I also enjoy reading books and take time to finish them.
I went back to Kolkata around two years back after a gap of 14 years, and though the city had changed, the people hadn't. Everybody is cultured and knowledgeable there. I have emotional memories of the place.
Ever since I was introduced to Ekta Kapoor, I have learnt a great deal from her storytelling, and the learning continues.
I think I love fiction shows more than the reality shows. I have been offered many shows, but I don't think I am tailored for reality TV.
My life is not as dramatic as it is depicted in the shows. I am not at all submissive. I am free-spirited.
While I'm totally up for all things girly, two months of mehendi is a fairly long time!
There's generally a couple of months' gap between shows. And I am rather glad it's been that way because I am a workaholic.
I am comfortable in all kinds of outfits. I prefer Indian wear, but there are days I step out in a short dress. It depends on my mood.
We actors are fortunate people, getting paid to do what we love - it's like getting paid to eat cake! There isn't much to complain about. In fact, on the days I have an off, I'm constantly telling my friends how I want to be on the sets because I miss it already.
I'm part of a great job where I get paid to learn. My first brush with the world of showbiz happened when I got selected while I auditioned for 'Dhoom Machao Dhoom' at my college in Delhi.
Despite our hard work and the number of hours we put in, content is the hero of every show.
I have been fortunate to have worked with immensely talented writers and directors who have had faith in me. There's been very little hard work but a lot of learning. I have learnt from each of my characters, and I think that's rather amazing.
If something interesting comes up, I would love to do something in Bangla in future, especially since I can speak Bangali fluently.
Initially, women only had to portray married wife roles on TV, but now there are show that are offering other roles to portray for women. Earlier, all drama used to revolve only around married women, which is not the case now. Even the male actors have a good opportunity for better roles now.
