Sreejita
De,
the
silent,
but
enthusiastic
Chef
who
wants
to
make
it
big
in
the
Man's
World
is
very
optimistic
about
her
role
in
Star
One's
Annu
Ki
Hogayee
Wah
Bhai
Wah.
Here
is
a
heart-heart
conversation
with
the
young
girl,
taken
in
the
far
flung
suburbs
of
Powai.
Q-How
did
you
manage
to
get
this
very
coveted
role?
A-I
thank
my
stars
that
Razia,
the
Creative
Director
of
the
show
called
me
for
audition,
as
they
were
on
a
look-out
for
a
newcomer
for
the
title
role
in
the
serial.
After
going
thro'
a
couple
of
auditions
and
look-tests,
I
was
finalized
for
the
role.
Q-To
what
extent
is
Sreejita
able
to
identify
with
the
title
role
that
she
is
essaying
in
the
serial
as
Annu?
A-
In
real
life,
I
am
an
out
and
out
extrovert;
whereas
the
character
of
Annu
that
I
am
playing
in
the
serial
is
an
introvert.
Also
while
Annu
is
not
at
all
ambitious,
I
am
quite
an
ambitious
person.
In
real
life,
I
am
an
optimist
who
believes
in
the
policy
of
spreading
love
to
all."
Q-
Are
you
a
good
cook
as
Annu?
A-No,
I
am
not
at
all
a
good
cook.
Over
the
contrary,
my
mom
who
is
back
in
Kolkata
is
a
great
cook,
and
she
helped
me
a
lot
in
etching
this
character
of
Annu
in
the
serial.
Q-Take
us
through
your
dreams
and
aspirations..
A-
As
Annu
in
the
serial,
I
also
live
for
my
parents
and
my
family,
especially
because
I
am
the
only
child
in
the
house.
When
I
was
doing
my
Bachelor's
degree
in
Mass
Media
at
the
Ruia
College
in
Kolkata,
I
never
dreamt
of
taking
to
acting.
I
always
wanted
to
be
a
journalist,
but
destiny
has
played
its
own
part.
Q-Do
you
regret
taking
to
acting
now?
A-Not
at
all,
now
that
I
am
an
actress,
I
am
enjoying
the
adulation
that
comes
along
with
it,
and
want
to
focus
on
my
acting
and
prove
that
I
am
second
to
no
one
as
far
as
acting
is
concerned.
Q-
Are
you
scared
of
the
casting
couch
that
is
prevalent
in
the
industry?
A-I
am
not
at
all
scared
of
the
casting
couch,
because
I
am
of
the
belief
that
no
one
will
pounce
on
me
when
I
enter
a
room
since
with
my
body
language
itself,
I
make
it
a
point
to
convey
the
message
that
if
people
approach
me
in
a
wrong
way,
I
will
not
hesitate
to
shoo
them
and
walk
out,
maintaining
my
dignity
in
tact
Q-
Talk
us
thro'
the
experience
of
working
with
the
dashing
Akshay
Kumar.
A-I
played
a
cameo
role
in
the
film
'Tashan'
with
none
other
than
Akshay.
Though
it
was
a
cameo,
it
had
depth
to
it.
I
play
a
village
girl
called
Parvati
who
tries
to
flirt
with
Akshay
Kumar.
It
was
great
working
in
the
film.
Q-How
do
you
see
your
career
in
Bollywood?
A-I
am
ready
to
do
music
videos,
ad
films
and
family-oriented
roles
in
films.
Q-Are
you
open
to
being
a
sexy
item
in
films?
A-I
am
not
at
all
interested
in
doing
any
sexy
item
numbers,
like
Rakhi
Sawant
does.
Though
Rani
Mukherjee
is
double
of
my
age;
I
would
like
to
follow
her
as
far
as
her
choice
of
in
depth
roles
is
concerned.
Sporting
a
short
skirt
is
fine
like
Priyanka
Chopra,
but
I
do
not
want
to
emulate
a
Mallika
Sherawat
or
a
Rakhi
Sawant.
I
cannot
face
my
parents
if
I
show
my
skin
like
them.
I
am
open
to
a
kissing
scene,
but
not
for
smooching
scenes.
Q-Have
you
got
your
Mr.
Right?
A-I
have
really
not
come
across
some
one
who
can
care
for
me
a
lot.
But
I
will
not
mind
keeping
my
eyes
and
ears
open
to
get
my
Mr.
Right.
