Muskaan
Mehani
quit
"Mamta" because
she
didn't
want
to
play
the
role
of
a
mother
when
she
herself
is
just
22.
Now,
she
will
play
the
character
of
Dr.
Sapna
Shah
in
the
new
youth-oriented
serial
"Dill
Mill
Gayye".
The
actress
also
has
a
small
role
in
Sajid
Khan's
"Heyy
Babyy".
She
tells
us
about
how
her
new
show
is
different
from
saas-bahu
dramas
and
her
future
plans.
How
did
you
get
this
role?
They
had
called
me
for
the
audition.
Sapna
is
a
Gujarati
and
so
they
wanted
someone
who
can
speak
a
bit
of
Gujarati.
I
am
from
Ahmedabad
so
I
can
speak
the
language
very
well.
They
just
took
a
look
test
as
they
were
searching
for
an
innocent,
soft
face.
And
to
my
fortune,
I
had
what
they
required.
How
similar
is
the
character
to
the
real
you?
This
girl
belongs
to
a
middle-class
family
and
is
docile
in
nature.
She
doesn't
react
even
if
someone
talks
rudely
with
her.
She
lives
for
her
dream.
I
am
somewhat
like
her
and
even
I
hail
from
a
middle-class
family.
What
do
you
feel
about
the
show?
This
is
a
very
youthful
show,
made
keeping
in
mind
the
GeNext.
The
audience
will
not
see
saas,
bahu,
bhabhi,
and
other
such
relations.
It's
about
medical
students
and
their
journey
towards
achieving
their
professional
dreams.
They
are
all
from
different
backgrounds
and
have
different
personalities.
While
someone
is
sober,
someone
is
negative,
yet
another
is
a
cool
dude.
It's
about
their
ups
and
downs
in
life.
I
am
sure
the
audience
would
like
it.
How
much
fun
did
you
all
have
during
the
making
of
this
show?
Oh,
we
had
a
ball
on
the
sets.
The
main
reason
could
be
that
we
are
all
of
the
same
age
group.
Did
you
do
some
research
before
playing
a
doctor
in
this
serial?
Yes,
we
all
had
attended
workshops
of
Dr.
Junaid.
We
learnt
how
to
administer
injections.
And
it
was
very
much
needed,
as
medicine
is
a
very
serious
profession.
If
we
were
not
acquainted
with
the
basics
we
would
look
funny,
and
that
we
just
couldn't
afford.
We
can't
make
fun
of
such
a
profession.
Do
you
think
the
audience
would
appreciate
"Dill
Mill
Gayye"?
My
character
is
realistic
and
even
my
dialogues
are
simple.
I
can
say
that
there
is
a
50
per
cent
chance
that
the
audience
will
like
my
character,
and
I
am
100
per
cent
sure
that
they
will
like
the
show.
I
am
happy
being
part
of
this
show
and
very
excited.
How
similar
is
"Dill
Mill
Gayye"
to
"Sanjivani"?
I
used
to
watch
"Sanjivani".
"Dill
Mill
Gayye"
is
different
from
that
serial.
It's
just
that
the
name
of
the
hospital
is
Sanjivani,
and
the
dean
is
Mohnish
Behl.
Apart
from
these,
all
the
characters
and
the
story
are
totally
different.
Do
you
feel
the
audience
needs
a
break
from
the
stereotyped
family
dramas?
Well,
one
can't
deny
the
fact
that
family
dramas
are
still
popular.
When
a
production
house
comes
up
with
a
concept
it's
made
for
a
target
audience.
The
way
our
show
was
made
keeping
youth
in
mind.
Similarly,
family
shows
are
made
to
cater
to
homemakers.
And
believe
me,
the
market
for
family
shows
is
huge
in
India.
The
rest
depends
upon
the
audience.
What
other
projects
are
in
the
pipeline?
A:
I
have
a
part
in
Sajid
Khan's
directorial
debut
"Heyy
Babyy".
And
as
of
now,
I
am
occupied
with
"Dill
Mill
Gayye".
May
be
after
three-four
months,
I
will
look
for
something.
I
always
like
experimenting
with
roles,
so
if
in
the
near
future
I
get
a
chance
to
act
on
the
big
screen,
I
will
definitely
try
that
out
depending
upon
the
offer.
