Twinkle
Patel,
who
is
quite
excited
about
making
her
debut
with
debutante
director
Som
Shekar"s
film
Muskarake
Dekh
Zara
opposite
newcomer
Gashmeer,
who
happens
to
be
the
son
of
the
veteran
actor
Ravindra
Mahajani,
tells
this
correspondent
that
she
could
relate
to
her
role
in
Muskarake
Dekh
Zara
though
she
does
not
look
at
life
the
way
Preeti
does
in
the
film.
Tell
me
something
about
your
film
Muskarake
Dekh
Zara?
The
film
is
a
story
of
simple
emotions
and
disappointments
of
love
and
life.
The
film"s
lighter
moments
beautifully
intersperse
with
the
hero"s
portrayal
of
a
character
of
depth.
I
should
say
that
it"s
not
just
love
and
disappointment
but
the
fresh
way
they
are
handled
that
makes
the
film
unique.
If
you
ask
me,
the
USP
of
the
film,
it
is
the
wonderful
play
between
the
nuances
of
the
foreign
returned
Preeti
and
the
not-so-urban
Vivek,
played
by
Gashmeer.
What
is
your
role
in
Muskarake
Dekh
Zara?
I
play
the
role
of
Preeti,
a
very
simple
girl,
who
is
very
grounded
even
though
she
has
studied
abroad.
Though
the
24-year-old
Pretti,
who
is
the
daughter
of
an
industrialist,
is
demure
and
pleasant
and
has
a
mind
of
her
own,
she
stays
with
her
parents
and
is
an
independent
girl.
Preeti,
I
should
say,
is
a
rare
combination
of
intelligence
and
innocence
and
with
her
wonderful
smile,
is
very
appealing.
Om
Katare
and
Madhuri
Sanjeev
play
my
parents
in
the
film.
I
was
born
to
a
Gujarati
mother
and
a
Malayalee
father.
I
live
with
my
mother
since
my
parents
opted
for
a
divorce.
You
can
say
that
I
have
the
best
of
both
the
worlds.
I
should
confess
that
I
bagged
the
break
quite
easily
even
though
I
am
a
rank
newcomer
and
did
not
have
to
struggle
at
all.
How
easy
was
it
for
you
to
bag
your
debut
role
in
Muskarake
Dekh
Zara?
I
consider
myself
lucky
that
I
met
producer-director
Som
Shekar
through
a
family
friend.
Right
from
the
time
I
was
a
tiny
tot,
I
was
very
interested
in
taking
up
acting
as
a
career.
Even
before
I
could
even
think,
I
bagged
my
role
in
the
film.
I
went
in
for
an
audition
and
was
selected
for
the
part
of
Preeti
and
I
should
say
that
it
was
quite
easy
for
me
though
it
was
my
debut
film
to
play
the
role
of
Preeti,
for
the
simple
reason
that
to
a
large
extent,
I
could
relate
to
my
role
in
the
film
though
in
real
life,
I
do
not
at
all
look
at
life
the
way
Preeti
does.
How
did
you
prepare
for
your
part?
To
tell
you
the
truth,
I
did
not
really
prepare
for
my
role.
All
that
I
did
was
just
to
try
to
understand
my
character
over
all
and
give
it
my
own
inputs.
I
had
to
portray
my
director"s
point
of
view.
I
actually
learnt
acting
on
the
sets.
It
helped
me
that
I
attended
a
workshop
by
Lovel
Prabhu
before
the
film
went
on
the
floors.
As
an
actor,
would
you
take
up
each
and
every
kind
of
role
instead
of
playing
safe
by
essaying
only
the
romantic
lead
roles?
I
am
first
and
foremost
an
actress.
If
I
am
destined
to
be
a
star,
I
will
become
one
some
day
or
the
other.
As
of
now
I
am
so
committed
to
my
craft
that
I
am
game
even
to
play
negative
roles.
In
fact,
though
I
should
confess
that
as
far
as
my
mind
set
and
psyche
go,
as
of
now
I
am
not
game
to
appear
in
a
bikini,
I
am
very
keen
on
getting
my
teeth
into
various
kinds
of
characters
and
deliver
my
performance
with
effortless
ease.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
with
director
Som
Shekar?
Som
Shekar
was
very
supportive
and
did
not
at
all
put
pressures
on
me
as
an
actress.
Though
I
was
quite
scared
of
the
syndrome
of
the
ubiquitous
casting
couch
in
Bollywood,
to
my
great
relief,
my
director
Som
Shekar
put
me
at
ease
and
made
me
quite
comfortable
when
I
was
working
on
the
sets
and
believe
me,
I
am
yet
to
face
any
bad
experience
in
the
industry.
