Drashti
Wanted
To
Become
Airhostess
Or
Choreographer!
When
asked
whether
she
wanted
to
become
an
actress,
Drashti
said,
"Honestly
I
never
really
thought
about
acting
as
a
kid.
I
first
wanted
to
become
an
air
hostess,
then
a
choreographer.
Then
my
mother
thought
I
should
become
a
psychiatrist
or
IAS
officer,
and
I
was
like
really?'"
How
She
Bagged
Music
Video
&
Ads!
"When
college
was
over
my
friend
started
going
to
auditions.
I
went
along
with
her
and
got
selected
for
an
advert.
Then
I
did
a
music
video
and
more
ads.
After
that
there
was
no
looking
back."
How
Drashti
Bagged
First
Show?
The
actress
revealed
how
she
bagged
the
first
show.
She
told
the
entertainment
portal,
"I
got
a
call
for
a
show,
but
thought
I
would
become
a
slave
to
TV
because
they
were
like
22
hour
working
days.
You'd
have
no
life
etc.
But
I
went
for
the
Dill
Mill
Gayye
audition
and
was
selected."
The
Actress
Says…
"With
Dill
Mill
Gayye,
it
was
just
following
the
director
and
not
having
my
own
say
in
things.
I
think
Geet
is
when
I
realised
I
couldn't
do
anything
better
than
acting.
When
I
did
Madhubala
I
was
like
bang
on,
I
can't
do
anything
besides
this
now."
Drashti
Says
She
Never
Wanted
To
Do
Geet
&
Left
Audition
Halfway!
When
asked
whether
she
imagined
that
Geet
would
become
an
iconic
show,
she
said,
"I
never
thought
it
would
become
so
big.
In
fact,
I
never
wanted
to
do
Geet
because
that
was
my
first
show
as
the
main
lead.
I
went
for
the
audition,
but
left
halfway."
She
Had
Asked
Director
to
Replace
Her
On
Geet!
"Nissar
had
directed
me
in
Dill
Mill
Gayye
and
called
me
for
Geet.
I
left
crying
and
said:
I
can't
do
this.
I'm
not
meant
to
do
main
leads,
give
me
some
sister
role
in
the
background'.
He
calmed
me
down.
I
went
for
the
audition
again
and
got
the
lead.
For
the
first
week,
I
used
to
cry
every
day
after
every
shot.
I
was
like:
You
should
replace
me'."
‘It's
A
Blessing
That
People
Loved
The
Show’
Nissar
had
faith
in
me,
but
I
didn't
have
faith
in
myself.
Then
after
four
months,
we
watched
a
scene
together
and
he
said:
Do
you
think
anyone
can
play
this
character
better
than
you'.
I
was
like:
No'.
I
was
surprised
Geet
got
so
much
appreciation.
It's
a
blessing
that
people
loved
the
show.
Drashti’s
Fondest
Memory
Of
Madhubala!
When
asked
what
her
fondest
memory
of
Madhubala
is,
she
said,
"There
are
so
many
great
memories
from
that
show,
but
one
scene
in
particular
that
is
a
favourite
is
the
first
time
RK
leaves
me.
I
was
in
shock.
I
suddenly
came
to
my
senses
and
started
crying.
That
was
the
best
seen
by
far
I
did
in
that
series."
