"There is need for more comedy shows on TV": Sounia Kapoor
Friday, June 15, 2007
After the ouster of Kavita Kapoor from 'Yess Boss" the task of playing the new Meera has been handed over to the glamorous Sounia Kapoor. 'Yess Boss" will soon be back on television in a new 'avtaar". This time the story will be placed in a new channel. We recently caught up with this beautiful actress to find out more.
How
are
you
feeling
playing
the
new
Meera
in
'Yess
Boss"?
Oh!
it
a
good
feeling.
I"m
happy
that
I
got
to
be
a
part
of
such
a
good
and
long
running
show.
The
production
house
is
also
very
good
and
I"m
looking
forward
to
work
with
them.
What
are
the
changes
that
you
are
going
to
bring
to
Meera?
Nothing.
Actually,
the
character
was
earlier
being
played
by
an
extremely
talented
actress.
I
do
not
want
to
step
into
her
shoes.
The
show
has
changed
and
so
has
the
concept.
So
I
will
play
the
character
according
to
what
has
been
narrated
to
me.
The
show
is
now
based
on
a
news
channel,
what
are
you
playing?
Yes,
the
show
is
based
on
a
news
channel
and
I
will
be
the
head
of
a
department.
Yet
another
glamorous
role?
Oh
God!
someone
please
give
me
a
non-glamorous
role.
I
think
that
people
like
me
in
such
roles.
But
this
time
the
show
itself
is
going
to
be
back
in
a
glamorous
role.
How
comfortable
are
you
doing
comedy?
Absolutely.
I
personally
like
to
do
comedy.
Unfortunately,
after
'Remix"
I
did
not
get
any
such
roles.
So
as
soon
as
'Yess
Boss"
came
to
me
I
grabbed
the
opportunity.
Do
you
think
it
is
difficult
to
make
people
laugh?
No,
I
do
not
think
it
is
difficult
to
make
people
laugh.
See,
if
a
script
is
well
written
and
the
actor
delivers
is
well
then
people
are
going
to
laugh.
They
have
no
other
choice.
What
do
you
think
makes
'Yess
Boss"
click?
See,
the
concept
of
this
show
is
different
as
well
as
interesting.
The
plot
of
every
episode
is
interesting
and
thus
grasps
audience.
Every
character
is
well
sketched
out
in
the
show.
The
character
of
Meera,
her
husband
Mohan
or
the
boss
Mr.
Verma
behaves
the
same
in
every
episode.
You
will
not
find
their
character
changing.
Do
you
feel
that
there
is
a
need
for
more
shows
like
'Yess
Boss"?
Yes,
there
is
a
need
for
many
more
comedy
shows
on
television.
I
believe
that
television
is
a
medium
for
entertainment
and
people
want
to
watch
shows,
which
will
entertain;
something
that
is
light
hearted.
I
don"t
want
to
watch
a
heave
drama
after
I
return
home
for
the
day"s
work.
Then
why,
according
to
you,
it
is
not
happening?
I
think
that
there
is
a
scarcity
of
good
writers
in
the
industry.
If
more
comedy
shows
are
launched,
then
their
quality
should
not
be
cheap.
For
it
you
need
good
writers
who
can
think
for
good
and
comic
stuff.
You
have
also
done
a
Persian
film.
Tell
a
little
about
it.
Yes,
the
film
is
named
'Panaah"
and
is
based
on
the
recent
Afghan
war
and
how
it
changed
the
life
of
people
there.
I"m
playing
an
Afgani
girl
who
is
in
love
with
a
man.
Now
this
man
has
to
leave
for
some
reason
and
does
not
come
back.
So
she
has
lost
him
and
is
all
alone
during
the
war.
Thus,
she
seeks
shelter
in
India
and
the
shelter
is
given
to
her
in
the
form
of
marrying
a
man.
She
gets
married
off
to
man
who
would
provide
her
the
much
needed
shelter.
