A
few years ago, Achint Kaur replaced one
of the most high profile vamps on television
- Mandira in Kyunki. In just a few
months, she turned out to be a show stopper.
But that's history now. Currently, the actor
known for her devil-may-care attitude is
doing a fab job as Vedika in Virrudh.
In the serial, Vedika is a rebel with a
cause. She's an alcoholic and honest to
the point of being blunt. Well, we at tellychakkar.com
think that Achint's super glamourous and
unconventional look in the serial has not
ever been seen on Indian television.
Here's a Q-n-A with this lanky lass who
doesn't mince her words to say to declare,
"Virrudh is anytime a better
serial than Kyunki." Well, well…

How
has it been working with Smriti Irani's
Virrudh?
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! At a time
when saas-bahu sagas reign supreme
on the small screen, Virrudh has
offered a fresh lease of life to not just
viewers but even actors. After a long time,
I'am getting to play a character role and
I'm enjoying every bit of it.
You're working
with senior artists like Vikram Gokhale.
Was it difficult to match up to them?
Difficult! No not at all. In fact, it's
a matter of great pride working with such
fine artists; especially a legend like Vikram
Gokhale. He's always there to help you with
his priceless inputs. It's a great opportunity
to learn from such fine actors.
The buzz goes
that you'll be back in Kyunki..?
(Shocked) Now, where did you get this story
from
But would you like
to return to the show?
Now that's a hypothetical question which
I'm in no position to answer. For such a
probability to arise we need to sit down
and talk it out with everybody involved.
Honestly, right now there's no such possibility.
Do you rate Virrudh
higher than Kyun Ki..?
No two ways about it. As a matter
of fact, there' s no comparison between
both the shows. Viruddh is a character oriented
show. It deals with ordinary people and
one can relate to the situations in the
show. I think what sets it apart is that
it's not a commercial but a very genuine
show.
It's raining sequels
both in the TV and film industry. So, can
we expect the
return of trendsetters like Saaya,
Kitty Party or Banegi Apni Baat?
It would be great, but at the moment it
looks very unlikely. It truly was a joyous
experience. I remember having great fun
while working in Kitty Party. I developed
a great rapport with my co-stars, and even
after it was over, we continue to remain
in touch with each other. As for Saaya,
it was indeed Kamya's character which truly
personifies me. So, I would love to play
the same character again, but in the current
scenario, it's very unlikely.
Is it difficult
being a mother as well as an actress?
Why should it be? After all, I'm not the
only working mother around. It's a part
and parcel of life. Besides, I'm very finicky
about my working hours, and thereby I buy
enough time to be with my son.
You've been living
with Mohan for so many years. Any marriage
plans in the offing?
NO! (Vehemently)
Any new offers
from Bollywood?
At the moment, I'm completely busy with
tv, but if any plum role comes up my way,
I'll be more than happy to take it up. TV
actors do get offers but often the budget
is too low and also we tend to go unnoticed
in the film.
Finally, is Achint
Kaur happy with life?
Perfectly happy! My life has been full of
various highs and lows, and this has enabled
me to stay firm on my feet. I cherish all
the good moments and I don't regret much
over my wrongdoings. I always want to be
myself and I am glad that I have been able
to achieve this in my life
