Mandana
Praises
Ishqbaaz
Team
The
actress
who
originally
hails
from
Iran
has
had
a
hard
time
adapting
the
Indian
accent
and
learning
Hindi.
Talking
about
this,
Mandana
said,
"In
films,
you
have
a
lot
of
time
to
prepare.
Television
is
a
very
fast
medium.
There
isn't
much
time
to
learn
and
then
deliver
the
dialogues.
You
are
shooting
so
cut-to-cut.
Also,
I
have
a
very
clear
accent,
and
that
creates
difficulty
in
bagging
a
good
role.
But
I
am
so
thankful
that
the
channel
and
production
house
showed
trust
in
me.
I
had
a
wonderful
time
shooting
with
the
team."
Ishqbaaz
Team's
Bonding
Time
Mandana
said
that
Ishqbaaz
team
was
extremely
warm
towards
her.
Calling
them
a
big
family,
the
actress
said,
"I
felt
like
a
guest,
who
walked
straight
into
their
home
and
they
welcomed
me
with
open
arms.
They
were
really
sweet
and
made
all
efforts
to
make
me
comfortable.
Our
favourite
part
during
the
shoots
was
the
lunchtime
as
everyone
would
sit
together
and
eat."
She
Didn't
Know
Much
About
Ishqbaaz
"I
do
not
follow
television
so
didn't
know
much
about
it.
But
my
family
loves
watching
the
show.
One
of
my
aunts
is
a
crazy
fan
of
Ishqbaaaz.
When
I
signed
the
show,
I
asked
her
about
it.
She
got
so
happy
and
excited.
That's
when
I
realised
that
I
have
made
the
right
choice."
Opens
Up
About
Her
Divorce
The
30-year-old
actress
went
through
a
divorce
last
year.
When
asked
if
that
affected
her,
she
said,
"Of
course,
it
affected
me
a
lot.
Both
personally
and
professionally,
I
was
going
through
an
emotional
low
but
thankfully,
I
had
my
friends
and
family
with
me."
Mandana
Wants
To
Start
Afresh
She
further
added,
"As
for
work,
since
my
ex-husband
belongs
to
the
industry,
I
lost
on
a
lot
of
work.
People
were
not
ready
to
work
with
me
after
being
influenced
by
what
had
happened.
But
I
have
left
it
all
behind
and
I'm
looking
ahead
to
a
positive
new
start."
