Once bitten, twice shy? Not quite, in case of Ekta Kapoor and actress Anupriya Kapoor. After their not-so-cordial working relation during Bayttab Dil Ki Tamanna Hai (news was that Anupriya had walked out of the show saying her role wasn’t good enough), they have come together to work in Tere Liye. The show touted as Ekta’s most ambitious project in the recent past will see Anupriya play the role of Taani. The petite actress took time off her shooting schedule to chat with TellyChakkar. Your first association with Balaji was not so good. How did you land up with the role of Taani? I never had any problems with Balaji as a production house. The issues I had were concerning a few individuals. Thankfully those people are not working in this show. So it is a closed chapter for me. I was always in touch with Balaji post Bayttab and every now and then there used to be some offer or the other. When Tere Liye came to me, I liked the role and the story and decided to take it up. How is Taani different from your earlier roles? It is completely different from the other roles I have played whether it was Antara or Suhani. Taani is the typical girl-next-door you will find. She stays in a typical middle-class family in Kolkata and her life starts and ends with Anurag. Was it difficult for you to get into Taani’s shoes? No. The character was very well narrated to me. I had to learn about the body languages of a simple Bengali girl because I am a Punjabi. I am making a 100 per cent effort to get the Bengali mood in my performance. I have been to Kolkata and during my stay there have observed the girls there, how they walk, talk and interact with each other. I am trying to incorporate those things in my acting. Harshad and I have also taken lessons in Bengali since we have to speak the language sometimes in the show. It is said that the love story of Tere Liye will start in the teen years and go on till old age. Will you be ageing in the show? (Smiles) I have not thought about that part. I will cross the bridge when it comes. Harshad as Prem is very popular and people have also liked you in Miley Jab Hum Tum. Do you think viewers will like you as a couple? I guess it's going to take some time for the viewers to accept us. The magic of a good script is also instrumental in creating the right chemistry and Tere Liye has that. We have shot the promos in Kolkata and so far people have appreciated our on-screen chemistry. Your take on love… I have not experienced it yet, so do not know. Tell us something we don’t know about you Very few people are aware that I worked behind the camera before becoming an actress. My younger brother Vyom Kapoor was a participant in Voice of India and I had come with him to Mumbai during the competition. I liked the work and started assisting Gajendra Singh in Voice of India, Waar-Parivar and Junoon. I was a senior executive producer in his team before moving to acting.
