'I
am looking for change!'
- Aamna Shariff
Life
seems to be treating Aamna Shariff pretty well. This popular
actress who plays Kashish in Star Plus' Kahiin to

Hoga
has been flooded with offers for both films and television.
"I
am looking for a character who is completely different from
Kashish. Something bigger than her," says Aamna. She's
now on the verge of signing a big serial, that will not only
help her move away from the demure 'Kashish' mould, but will
also have her sporting a completely new look.
Even
film offers are coming in by the dozen. Aamna has gone through
a number of scripts and is really interested in two of them.
"They are big banner films, but since it will be my debut
film, I am being a little choosy,"she laughs.
Talking
about her experience while shooting for a Pakistani serial
in Malaysia recently, Aamna visibly brightens up, saying that
she plays a character very much like Sujal in Kahiin To
Hoga, " For once I get to dump Rajeev,"she giggles.
Shooting
the Pakistani serial was an experience that will always be
close to Aamna. It was very different from the usual shooting
that is done in Indian soaps, she says, adding, "They
do not shoot from different angles. Acting is more real, it's
fast and you are expected to shoot a considerable amount without
breaks. This I think will be a learning experience for any
Indian television actor."
Aamna
is probably among the few in the industry who don't believe
in the adage the "more the merrier" --- taking on
projects and leaving little time for her personal life, is
something that she does not believe in. "I have worked
round the clock for a long time, now I want to finish my day's
work and come home and relax," says this lady, who is
looking to do

different
characters, be it on the telly or the big screen.
Ask her
about rumours about her quitting Kahiin to Hoga, and
she bursts into peels of laughter, telling us that as long
as Kashish has different shades to offer, she will stick to
the role, but she does not want to continue if the present
track drags too long.
So when
does the lady plan to tie the knot, we ask --- again we are
greeted with a dazzling smile, as she says, "Marriage
is something very big, it's not happening for me in the next
five years."
Marriage
or not, Aamna is surely going places!
