MUMBAI: Sayli Salunkhe bagged the role of lawyer Vedika in Pukaar Dil Se Dil Tak after winning over the audience in Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si. Sayli Salunkhe talked briefly about landing the show, her current co-actor Abhishek Nigam's response, her former co-actor Mohit Malik's reaction, and more in an interview with the popular news portal.
The Bohot Pyaar Karte Hai actress said, "When things got finalized, I messaged in my Whatsapp group with Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si cast and informed them about bagging the show. Everyone was excited for me. Mohit called me up and congratulated me. He told me that he is proud of me. I really miss the Baatein cast... We do keep meeting, but of course miss meeting each other daily for long hours of shoot."
Sayli Salunkhe said, "In my last two shows, I was playing the character ageing 30 to 35 years old, which was not of my age. Initially, it was difficult to portray those characters, but with time, I feel I got so used to it that now, when I'm supposed to play a character close to my real age, Vedika in Pukaar Dil Se Dil Tak, I'm finding it tough. I'm trying my level best to play the character as convincingly as possible."
She said, "As we all know, Sony TV produces a lot of great content. When I was doing shows with Star Plus, I used to see the promos of Sony TV show and would be quite impressed with storylines and way promos were shot. I always wanted to do a show on Sony TV. Along with this, the production house is quite renowned and have many shows like Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan and Pyaar Ka Pehla Adhyay Shiv Shakti, among others, currently airing on Television."
She added, "I had heard great things about the production house and thus planned to accept the offer as it was fitting well with what I wanted to take up. After doing back-to-back leads, sometimes it gets monotonous, and audiences also prefer a fresh face, but when I got the offer, I felt it's best to grab the opportunity."
We questioned Sayli about her experience shooting with Abhishek Nigam after she had done shows with more experienced actors like Mohit Malik and Karan V Grover. She says, "Well, initially, it was quite awkward for me because I had this habit of working with more mature actors like Mohit and Karan, and I was used to the thought of them managing things, even if something goes wrong. But as and when I started to shoot often with Abhishek, I realized he is very professional and hardworking individual."
She added, "He is very sincere and I also liked that he came around and said 'Hi' to me when we met first. Before going for scenes, he would often initiate rehearsals, which speaks volumes about his dedication towards his work. I honestly feel fortunate to have always gotten wonderful people as my co-actors (smiles)."
Sayli Salunkhe also mentioned in the interview that, as an actress, she would rather have conversations about her career than her personal life. She dislikes discussions about her private life on public forums. She also said that she didn't think she was a Bigg Boss material and that she turned down the show twice. She joked that she would be kicked out during the first week.
