INTERVIEW OF ANSHA SAYED: (Source: Tellybuzz)
The courageous officer Purvi aka Ansha Sayed is happy being a part of SONY TV's long running popular crime thriller show CID and she shares her journey about the show and much more with TellyBuzz.
Tell us something about yourself...
I am happy playing Purvi in CID and I am a chilled out, easy going and relaxed person in real life.
Tell us something about your early life. How did acting happen to you?
After completing my graduation, someone approached me for acting. I was more interested in Mass media and accounts so I asked my father about it and he said if you wish to give it a try then you can go ahead. I did few episodics in Aahat, then Laagi Tujhse Lagan and few other shows and now here I am, playing the character of Purvi in CID
How has been your journey as officer Purvi so far?
Its been amazing so far and I know that it will be amazing for me always. Purvi for me is Ansha because Purvi is also focused about her work just like Ansha is. I am very happy to do CID and I wish to do it forever.
Do you think that CID is a turning point for your career?
Yes, definitely it is a turning point for my career because it has given me the recognition and lots of love and respect. Its a pleasant experience to work with this team. All the actors in the team including the crew and the production team is so lovely that anyone who will come here won't like to leave.
Which has been your most challenging task portraying Purvi so far?
I remember one scene, in which I was on a harness and I was hanging. It was like the scariest experience for me. I was hanging and from one side, Daya sir (Dayanand Shetty) was holding my hand and Abhijeet sir (Aditya Srivastav) from the other side. I got goosebumps and I was scared thinking what if this harness will break (laughs)!
Anything which you have learned from the character of Purvi?
I have get to learn a lot of things like I have learned to run. I was wearing a saree while doing Laagi Tujhse Lagan and here, I have to wear shirts and trousers and run. I know how to run but Purvi taught me to sprint and how to slap. I discuss a lot with my co-actors and get to learn a lot from all of them. Purvi has given me a new family.
How do you feel being a part of the long running successful show CID?
The people on the sets of CID are so humble despite being part of the longest running show which holds a record in the record books. I am so proud and honored to be a part of the show. Being a part of this show is just like I am getting an award every day.
Your best performance till date?
It was 'CID Mein Gaddar' episodic which was a Purvi centric episode. I did my best in it.
What kind of bonding do you share with your co-actors?
I share a great bond with everyone on the sets like ACP sir, Abhijeet sir and I have a lot of respect for them. Daya sir is like a friend and I share a very special bond with Tarika, as she is just like me on the sets. She is bindaas and sweet. I don't get much to shoot with Shreya but whenever I do, then its just like a girls gang on the sets with me, Tarika (Shraddha Musale) and Shreya. Hrishikesh Pandey and Shreya are very good co-actors to work with.
What are your interests other than acting?
Watching movies, driving, and listening to music. I like reading but not that much.
Define Ansha in one word.
Energetic.
What kind of roles are you looking forward to play?
I am very happy doing Purvi and I would like to focus on Purvi only. I am not really interested in doing saas bahu sagas since I am happy doing a crime show.
I LOVE WEARING SAREES - ANSHA SAYED
Ansha Sayed who is seen playing the role of Purvi in Sony TV's CID, gets candid with (urlremoved), about how she started doing acting.
What made you chose a career in acting?
It just happened, it was in my destiny. I was never keen on acting, I was never keen on doing Television, it just happened. I was in college and had attended a Jam session and some guys came up to me and asked me if I would like to do modeling. I then told my father, and I got clicked, did a portfolio and it all worked.
What challenges have you had to face in your acting career?
Not really, it took some time for me to understand how the work happens here, but once I understood it was all good.
You have played the role of Purvi for a very long time, how has the experience been?
It is lovely and I am enjoying it. I want to be Purvi. It is like an achievement to be part of CID, and when I joined CID I had that in my mind that I will be doing CID for a very long time, And I said that at the time when I joined it. It has been Mashallah 2 years, and I am still saying it, so you can imagine how much I love CID and Purvi.
When can fans expect to see you in something different than Purvi?
Not right now, because Purvi is a cop and in the show we do a lot of disguise. You get to do different kind of roles when you are undercover, you shoot at different locations and with different actors. It is very interesting that you get to meet new people and every day is a new day.

"When Sunday ends I feel 'wow' for the new week that starts from Monday" - Ansha Sayed
Sunday for me is:I mostly shoot on Sunday. If I am not shooting then I like to be at home and spend time with my family or watch a movie. In the evening, I like to meet my friends and chill out with them.
On a Sunday I...try to have non-vegetarian food.
A perfect Sunday for me is: Packing up early, spending some time with family and meeting friends in the evening to watch a movie with them.
On a Sunday I get up at: If I am shooting then I wake up at 6 am else I wake up at 10 am.
My Sunday special Khana is: Non Vegetarian food.
My childhood memory related to Sunday: I used to get up in the morning and then I used to get a head massage from my Nani, have non-vegetarian food for lunch and in the evening I used to go out to play with my friends.
After Sunday, comes Monday and my feelings are: I feel 'Wow' that another week has started. People generally don't like Mondays but I like Mondays.
My plans for coming Sunday: No plans as yet but most probably I will be shooting.
