Soumya Seth who gained immense popularity after playing Navya in Star Plus' Navya and seen as Soumya in Channel V's The Serial is all set to make her fans happy by playing a new character starkly different from what she played in Navya. Soumya is playing the character Aradhya in Shashi Sumeet Mittal's new show Dil Ki Nazar Se Khoobsurat on Sony TV. Tellybuzz spoke to Soumya to know more about her character and about the show….
How did Khoobsoorat happen to you?
When I read the script, I
felt like Aradhya is me. I feel as the luckiest girl of this world. The script
didn't interest me but I liked the character of Aradhya for which I was being
offered the show. I left from there without giving auditions and after 4
months, I got to know that they are still searching for the girl who would be
playing Aradhya. They called me for an audition when I was doing 'The Serial.'
I was tired and didn't want to go but that character was always there in my
mind. So, I gave the audition and that is how Khoobsoorat happened to me.
Out of all the shows you have done, which is the
closest to your heart?
Navya taught me to walk and no one can take its
place. I learnt to face the camera because of Navya. I am in this industry,
because of Navya as it is my first project on television. One cannot by CouponDropDown">compare
their children but the first kid is always special.
How are Navya and Aradhya different from each other?
There is a lot of difference
between these two characters. When I was playing Navya, everyone used to tell
me that I was just like Navya who is a very shy girl and now everyone is
surprised about how I essayed that role since they feel I am very chirpy
(laughs).
When I auditioned for Aradhya, who is very talkative,
producer Shashi Ma'am said, "How did you do Navya? You talk so much." I feel that
may be because of the blessings of the God all this has happened to me and what
is currently happening in my life.
How is the equation with the co-actors on the
sets?
When I was doing Navya, I gelled very well with
everyone but Shaheer Sheikh and I took a little time to get together. However later on
we both used to have a lot of fun.
It's fun to work with Rohit Khurana and Abhishek Malik. We
keep on pulling each other's leg. Rohit is a good actor and I try to learn a
lot from him. I also share a very good bond with my on-screen mom and sis
Meghna (Sheetal Dabholkar). We just sit and talk about how to by CouponDropDown">lose weight. We also chat about our
jewelry and clothes that we wear on screen (laughs).
Tell us about your experience of working in 'The
Serial?'
The show has given me a lot of best friends and it was a lot of fun working with them. I am going to miss them so much.
Please tell us something about Madhav?
Aradhya doesn't like Madhav because he is dark. My mom used to say during my childhood days that you don't like having Gulab Jamun and Rajma because they are dark in color (laughs). Madhav is a good person by heart but Aradhya keeps herself away from him just because he is dark. If Ehsaas was not in the picture, then Aradhya would have never noticed Madhav.
Do looks matter for Soumya?
If you want to work in this
industry, then yes looks matter but for Soumya, they don't . The kind of person
you are and your thinking is what matters in life.
What is your idea of a dream man?
My dream man should be the one I am able to take
home to my parents. They have treated me just like a princess so when my
parents feel that he is the one who will keep their daughter happier only then
he will pass the test (laughs).
What are your expectations from the show?
Actress Soumya Seth, who will soon be seen portraying the lead role of, Aaradhya, on Sony TV's soon to be launched show, "Dil Ki Nazar Se Khoobsurat', is very much similar to her on screen character, in her real life. In her upcoming show, Aaradhya falls in love with a RJ, just on the basis of his voice, unaware of his looks and personality.
Just as Aaradhya of the show is an easy and outgoing girl, Soumya too is a typical fun loving and carefree girl in her real life. Aaradhya likes all things beautiful and wants the world to be picture perfect, just as her outlook. Having a positive attitude in life, she feels that nothing can go wrong in her life and that is why she always remains stress free.
But ask her about whether she herself believes in falling in love just on the basis of listening to the person's voice, she is hesitant in accepting the same happening in reality. "Dil Ki Nazar Se Khoobsurat" is ready for airing on 25th February 2013, on 'Sony TV'.
New Delhi, March 3 (IANS) Everything shown in the "The Serial", which focuses on the lives of some television actors, isn't completely real, says actress Soumya Seth adding that her romance angle with Karan Kundra is untrue.
Apart from Soumya and Karan, the show also features actors Sara Khan, Rohan Shah, Pooja Gaur and Vikrant Massey.
"There is some scripting in it because it is not a reality show. But the lines are kind of similar. It is based on our lives, but it is not our lives," Soumya, who started her television career with "Navya...Naye Dhadkan Naye Sawaal", told IANS.
"All of them are my friends but the link up part with Karan Kundra is not true," she added.
According to Soumya, 23, the show is based on the actors' lives but is not completely about them.
"It is, of course, on the lines of reality and our lives. We have always maintained that it is based on our real lives. But it is not our real lives," she said.
Soumya has hit the small screen in a new avatar as Aradhya in new show
"Dil Ki Nazar Se. Khoobsurat", in which she falls in love with the voice
of a Radio Jockey.

Sheetal Dabholkar who rose to fame after playing the elder Sanyogita in Prithvi Raj Chauhan and now is seen in the character of Meghna in Shashi Sumeet Mittal's Dil Ki Nazar Se Khoobsoorat, shares more about her professional and personal life with Tellybuzz…
How did Khoobsurat happen to you?
I got a call from the production house for Khoobsurat. My name was recommended by the channel. They must have seen my previous auditions or the videos of my work. Then, I was called for the look test after which I signed the contract. My character is very strong and it is a parallel lead of sorts. The story is based on the famous tale of Beauty and The Beast and is very beautiful and classy. My character is more like a friend for her sister and mom. Meghna always supports, guides and takes care of her sister.
How was your first day on the sets?
First day, I was called at 10:30 in the night on the sets. I was told that I have only one scene to do. So, I went there and waited till 2 am but the shoot didn't happen. I was called once again after a couple of days. That was my actual first day of shoot and it was very nice. I was called at 8:30 am in the morning and the shoot began with my introductory scene, where Aradhya (Soumya Seth) comes in and I was sitting and asking about the portrait. That was my introduction scene. I gelled well with all of them. The directors and the co-actors are very nice and we all bonded easily. I was very comfortable shooting.
With whom do you bond the best on the sets?
We are only 4 in our on-screen family. Aradhya, me, mom and dad. Everyone is very good. I share a good bond with all of them but the best relation I share with is my on-screen mom. We sit together in our make-up rooms for long.
Can you relate to Meghna?
Yes, very much. Meghna and I are fun loving people. She likes to learn new things; sometimes, she wants to learn jewellery designing and at the others she wants to cook. Her choices of trying out new things keep changing and in fact mine is a similar case. Sometimes, I like to learn belly dancing and sometimes I want to try gymnastics, just like Meghna. I have a younger brother and I support him like the way Meghna does for her sister.
You have got to play different characters. So, which among these is the closest to your heart?
All the characters played by me are very close to my heart but the character of Sanyogita played by me in Prithviraj Chauhan
will always be the closest because I got to learn many things from it. I
did everything right from horse riding to sword fighting. I love the
character of Sanyogita very much and it will always be closest to my
heart.
