"Saat Phere has got me success and fame in a short time"

She plays the vicious Kaveri in Zee's TRP raker Saat Phere. Meet, Aanchal Dwivedi, who is currently winning accolades for her evil histrionics, coupled with her vampish makeup and garish sarees. This small town girl from Itawa, came to Mumbai in search of her dream career. About two years back, Aanchal was seen on the tube in Sahara One's Humse Hai Zamaana and Kuuch Love Kuuch Masti. Later, she did Ken Ghosh's Ada. Currently, the pesky actor is also being seen in a comic act on Sab's Lets Party. Here, in an exclusive chat, Aanchal talks bout her negative role in Saat Phere and also about her alleged affair with actor Vishal Kotian. So, tell us how did Saat Phere happen?. Not too many people know but I am related to Pallavi Joshi and Vivek Agnihotri who happen to be my Chaachi and Chacha. I lived with them for a year. When I told them about my desire to get into acting, Pallavi Chachi advised me to start going for auditions. For one long year, I gave a lot of auditions but nothing happened. Then two years back I did Humse Hai Zamaana on Sahara and Kuuch Love Kuuch Masti and later did Ken Ghosh's Ada. On the last day of the shoot I was on my way back home and was thinking what I will do now and I received a call from the makers of Saat Phere. Just after one and a half hour later I got a call that I was in for the role of Kaveri. How far do you relate to Kaveri? I don't relate to Kaveri at all. In real life, I am a very down to earth person. Sometimes, I feel Kaveri has no reasons for whatever she does. Yet, when on screen when I essay the character, I feel totally evil. What kind of feedback have you received from viewers? Saat Phere is my first daily and has got me success and fame in a short period. When I bump into people who watch the show, they tell me my performance is good. Recently, when I went to Aurangabad women wanted to know all about my sarees, hair and make up. Somehow, noone has really behaved negative towards me. How is Mazher Syedd as a co-star? He is a brat. He pulls my leg all the time. He hides outside the make up van trying out stunts to scare me. The entire unit is like a family and we spend at least thirteen hours together. You are also doing a comedy Let's Party? Ya, it's a weekly on Sab TV. I am playing a lively girl. Dilip Joshi is paired opposite me. It is interesting to do a comedy and a negative character simultaneously. Would you do a typical saas bahu soap? Why not? In fact, I would love to do it. I think, the genre has a lot of potential. But, Balaji hasn't approached me as yet. If they offer me a good role, I would like to work for them. What would you have been, if not an actress? I would have been doing something related to forest life. I am very much fascinated by forests. I love to watch National Geographic. When I turn 35 or so I would like to go and live in the forests and make films on animals. Are you tuned into reality shows? Have you been watching Nach Baliye 2 or Jhalak Dikhhla Ja? I am more tuned into Naach Baliye 2. I think its more performance based whereas Jhalak is just more loads of fun. Are you seeing Vishal Kotiyan? No, I am not seeing Vishal. I have known him for the last few years. We were to do a play together which didn't happen. When I started doing Saat Phere he asked me if I would like to act in Let's Party and I agreed and people jumped to their own conclusions Describe your dream man? He should be a family man and should appreciate hard work and my career. So, I don't have great expectations but I am a normal person looking for a normal person. Do you have any Godfather? Not really a Godfather, but my father Suresh Dwivedi has been a great source of inspiration for me. I have two brothers yet my father says my beti is my beta. I am here because of him.
