Fans hate Shravani for being the thorn in Archana and Manav’s life but Pooja Pihal loves all the attention she gets. TellyChakkar caught up with Pooja to know more about her experiences as Shravani. Tell us a little bit about how you got the role... The production house called me for a look test. I got a call within the next two days that I was selected. Audiences hate Shravani for separating Archana and Manav. Any weird experiences with fans on this? Everyday people come up to me to tell how they hate me for not being good to Archana and Manav. Then they tell me to pass on the message to both of them that they are being loved by all. Once this small kid came up to me and told me, she hated me for being the troublemaker in Archana’s life. Then she told me to hug Archana on her behalf. It feels weird but I wanted people to love me and not hate me. However, obviously, if people hate me it means I am successful in whatever I am doing (smiles). Shravani’s character will play an important part after the leap is what we heard. Is that true? I don’t know actually. My character won’t change much. She will remain possessive, emotional and short tempered. I can’t reveal much but all I can say is that Shravani won’t change even after the leap. There are chances of me getting married to Manav as well. A few days back your status message on a social networking site read that you had been robbed of your belongings at Siddhi Vinayak Temple. Tell us what exactly happened? Yeah. I had gone to Siddhi Vinayak with my friends in their car. I had all my important documents and belongings in the purse. Since the temple was almost shutting, I left the purse in the car and ran to seek blessings. When I came back, I noticed that the side of the car where I had placed my purse was broken and everything was gone. A similar thing had happened to some others as well. I complained to the police who made me wait until 3-4 am. Nothing has been found yet. I am still waiting for their response. You are playing a negative character in a popular Balaji show. Aren’t you afraid of being typecast? I am worried about being typecast. But I am sure if I ever take up any show I won’t accept any role that is completely negative. Even Shravani for that matter is not completely negative. She is possessive whenever she sees Manav with Archana. I think this is normal. You will react the same way if you see the guy you are going to get married to with someone else whom he had loved earlier.
