Like
many
of
her
peers
from
television,
Jennifer
Winget
is
ready
to
move
to
the
big
screen.
However,
unlike
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
or
Manish
Paul,
she
didn't
have
to
wait
long
for
the
transition.
"It
happened
so
suddenly," she
said
in
disbelief
about
getting
a
role
in
Phir
Se,
to
be
directed
by
Kunal
Kohli,
who's
also
making
his
acting
debut
with
the
movie.
"I
don't
know
why
Kunal
Kohli
thought
of
me
for
'Phir
Se'.
But
he
did.
I
got
the
role
without
any
effort.
I
just
got
a
call
and
in
the
second
meeting
he
asked
me
to
do
a
scene.
That
was
it," she
added.
Jennifer
has
been
doing
television
for
many
years
now
--
and
her
latest
serial
has
been
Saraswatichandra.
"I've
virtually
grown
up
in
the
television
industry.
I
love
the
medium,
and
to
say
I'm
moving
on,
would
be
wrong.
Basically,
I
love
to
act.
The
medium
is
not
important.
It's
a
feature
film
now.
It
might
again
be
a
serial
after
that," she
said.
Jennifer
looks
back
on
the
experience
of
doing
"Saraswatichandra" with
much
pleasure.
"There
were
two
different
phases
in
the
life
of
'Saraswatichandra'.
The
first
phase
was
when
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
was
the
producer.
He
is
a
dream
director
and
a
master
creator.
To
have
him
on
board
was
a
dream
come
true
for
me.
When
the
producer
changed,
we
moved
on
to
another
phase.
I
had
no
complaints.
I
enjoyed
both
the
phases
equally,"
she
said.
Now
she's
all
geared
up
for
the
movie
experience.
"Do
you
know
that
I
did
a
couple
films
as
a
child?
But
'Phir
Se' is
my
first
film
as
a
leading
lady.
It's
such
a
cute
film
with
a
terrific
role
for
me.
I
couldn't
have
hoped
for
anything
better."
What
Jennifer
likes
the
best
is
that
she
gets
to
play
her
own
age.
"Neither
Kunal
nor
I
have
to
pretend
to
be
younger
or
older.
So
that
immediately
puts
us
in
a
comfortable
zone.
We
need
that
kind
of
confidence
because
we
are
both
making
our
debut.
It's
scary
and
at
the
same
time
exciting,"
she
said.
"Phir
Se" would
be
shot
in
London
and
Jennifer
is
looking
forward
to
that.
"I've
this
karmic
connection
with
London.
I
was
in
London
to
shoot
'Saraswatichandra'
last
year.
Now
I'm
going
to
be
there
to
shoot
'Phir
Se'.
It's
going
to
be
really
cold
in
December
in
London.
But
the
unit
is
so
lovely.
I
am
going
to
be
surrounded
by
warmth,"
said
the
actress,
who
is
married
to
Karan
Singh
Grover.
How
do
the
husband
and
wife
manage
to
find
time
for
one
another?
"I
know
the
hours
on
television
are
unearthly.
But
we
manage.
In
a
way,
it's
good
that
we
are
both
part
of
the
entertainment
industry.
We
understand
each
other's
schedules.
Now
that
I'm
doing
a
film,
I'll
have
to
deal
with
a
little
less
madness
in
my
working
hours," Jennifer
said.
