Joining
the
other
Bengali
beauties
of
television
is
newcomer
Paayel
Sarkar.
She
might
be
new
to
television,
but
this
actress
had
already
acted
in
regional
films
in
the
east
and
south.
It
is
her
dream
come
true
to
come
to
Mumbai
and
work
with
Anurag
Basu.
We
spoke
to
her
at
length
regarding
her
first
venture
in
the
television
industry
Love
Story
and
her
relation
with
her
director
and
co-stars.
Here
is
the
excerpt.
Q:
How
do
you
find
Love
Story?
A:
It
is
pretty
exciting
working
in
Love
Story.
I'm
blessed
that
I
got
an
opportunity
to
work
in
such
a
good
show.
Q:
Tell
us
something
about
your
character
in
the
show.
A:
I
play
a
girl
called
Shruti
from
Chandni
Chowk
in
New
Delhi.
She
is
a
college
going
bubbly,
chirpy
and
cute
girl.
In
college
she
falls
in
love
with
her
senior
Akash
and
it
cannot
be
called
a
one-sided
affair,
but
it
is
just
that
Shruti
is
more
expressive
than
Akash.
Q:
What
else
have
you
done?
A:
Actually,
I'm
from
Bengal
and
have
done
lead
roles
in
films
there.
I
have
got
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
best
directors
and
producers
there.
My
last
Bengali
film
I
Love
You
was
released
in
January
is
still
a
hit.
I
have
also
worked
in
a
south
Indian
film
titled
FM.
Q:
From
films
in
Bengal
to
a
television
serial
in
Mumbai.
Why
did
you
take
the
decision?
A:
See,
Mumbai
is
the
ultimate
destination
for
all
in
glamour
business.
It
is
like
working
on
a
nationalised
level.
I
did
Bengali
films
no
doubt,
but
it
was
on
a
regional
level.
Every
actor
wants
to
come
in
Mumbai.
Q:
How
is
it
working
with
a
director
like
Anurag
Basu?
A:
It
is
great.
I
always
wanted
to
work
with
him.
What
else
can
I
ask
for
in
my
debut
television
venture?
Q:
Do
you
feel
it
is
a
gem
of
an
opportunity
working
with
him?
A:
Very
few
actors
are
privileged
to
work
with
a
director
like
Anurag.
He
is
such
a
good
director
both
in
films
and
television.
Q:
How
much
do
you
identify
with
your
character
Shruti
in
your
real
life?
A:
I
am
exactly
like
Shruti
in
my
real
life
too
and
thus
it
makes
things
easier
for
me
when
I
have
to
enact
my
character.
Q:
How
is
your
chemistry
with
your
co-stars?
A:
I'm
really
lucky
that
I
have
got
such
good
and
supportive
co-stars.
We
all
are
young
and
thus
things
keep
happening
on
the
sets.
Q:
Tell
us
a
little
about
yourself.
A:
I'm
from
Bengal
and
I
had
never
thought
that
I
would
become
an
actress.
I
was
doing
my
graduation
and
a
job
when
I
started
getting
offers
for
films.
So
I
thought
of
giving
it
a
try.
Q:
So
how
did
Love
Story
happen
to
you?
A:
Anurag
Basu
was
in
Kolkata
when
I
was
shooting
for
a
Bengali
film.
One
of
my
friends
Jikesh
received
a
message
from
Anurag
and
we
went
to
meet
him.
There
we
had
a
chat
and
maybe
I
was
in
his
mind
for
this
role
since
then.
I
did
not
know
that
he
was
starting
a
new
venture
in
television.
Q:
So,
are
you
planning
for
Bollywood?
A:
I
have
not
planned
for
anything
in
my
life,
because
I
feel
that
if
things
do
not
happen
according
to
one's
plans,
he
or
she
feels
extremely
hurt.
Thus,
I
cannot
say
what
I
would
be
doing
next.
Q:
Now
is
the
era
of
saas-bahu
sagas.
Why
do
you
think
Love
Story
will
work
in
this
scenario?
A:
Love
Story
is
something
different.
In
today's
time
people
also
want
to
watch
something
different
and
some
good
quality
programmes.
