Her full name is Ansha Reshma Imtiaz Sayed. Ansha is a fun loving girl and has a craze for driving cars. She is also a hardcore novel reader.
HER FAVORITE FOOD: Her favorite food is mutton pulao which her father makes on Eid.
She always looks forward to Eid for her friends come to her house and they have a blast
Ansha Sayeed is quite kicked playing her character Purvi in Sony Entertainment Television's super hit crime detective show CID.
"She is a subtle girl who does her bit on the field. Purvi is also very calm and tries to understand the situation before coming out with her opinion," this Mumbai-born and brought up B. Com graduate avers.
"It makes me proud just by thinking that I represent females in the CID team. For one, it is quite a challenge every day when you meet all types of people and do different types of scenes. Unlike other daily shows for which you shoot indoors with the comfort of AC, we are always on the run outdoors on the roads, in malls etc," she describes.
Ansha ,who has earlier done Bandhan Saat Janmon Ka and Laagi Tujhse Lagan (both for Colors) further adds, "For a long time, this Fireworks-produced show was watched more by men and kids while women stayed away for they preferred family dramas. But now, all that is changing as we have three women in the team, Shreya (Janvi Chheda), Dr. Tarika (Shraddha Musale), who is in the forensics team, and me."
Coming to her looks, Ansha has no issues with the fact that she does not get to dress up much. "Our costume is quite smart and chic. We (female cops) don't have much of a make-up to do and our hair also has to be always tied up as well. After all this, if you still look good, you are a pretty looking girl right," she smiles.
"Although Laagi' had given me some fame, it was CID that changed the entire ball game for me as an actor. More than the money, what I really love is the respect one gets from people for being a part of this longest running show on the National TV," Ansha ends.
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
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.

While the holy month of Ramzaan is going on, Muslims observe their Rozas throughout the day in this holy month. It becomes really tough for our Telly actors to keep a fast while they shoot for hectic hours as they need to do tough scenes, continuous dialogues deliveries while they keep a fast.
TellyBuzz quizzed some of your favorite stars to hear from them as how they manage to shoot during the holy month of Ramzaan and whether they keep a fast or not.
Ansha Sayed, currently seen in Sony Tv's CID - I have been fasting for so many years now. Managing Roza is not difficult; it's just a habit. Initially, it becomes difficult but this year its monsoon so it's not that difficult because we just have to control our hunger because we feel more hungry during monsoon than feeling thirsty. While doing a show like CID, where we have to do scenes like running and chasing but there is some magic when you fast which don't let you happen anything. When we pray during fasting then some magic happens and you get the stamina automatically when you fast.

DEMONSTAR:
It's already been nearly two years since Ansha ma'am joined our show as the brave, dedicated and beautiful CID officer Purvi, and yet it feels like our journey together has barely begun. While she was known for her notable roles in TV shows like Laagi Tujhse Lagan, she was also no stranger to CID when she joined our team back on 30th July 2011, having already enacted supporting roles in a handful of older episodes, most notably in the famous "Case of the Bomb Robbery" in early 2007. Her character in the same was both dark and sympathetic, and seeds of her acting brilliance were already apparIent in her remarkable performance there. It is no surprise that, four years later, she brought to life the character of sub-inspector Purvi with a cool combination of zeal, charm, audacity and sheer unyielding energy. The fact that she won acclaim from a majority of CIDians on her first day itself is a notable achievement and testament to her talent.
I'm grateful to the casting department for their impeccable decision, and FireWorks for making Purvi's character a rare recipient of generous spotlight and plenty of development. Its common knowledge that most female cops in CID (and many males as well) had been unjustly sidelined to mere supporting roles, either serving to blurt a quick "yes, sir" or turning up to deliver the classic slap to female criminals. We Purvi fans, however, have been blessed with plenty of episodes where Purvi played a central part, allowing us to enjoy Ansha ma'am's diverse performances ranging from warmth, loyalty and fellowship to anger, grief, courage, tenacity and selflessness. Not only is Purvi a gallant and brave officer, but also a loyal junior and gregarious colleague. She's also shown to have a strong bond with her other female teammate Shreya, more or less a first time in the history of CID (complimented by the two actresses' real-life friendship). We see her soft spot for children in plenty of episodes as well.
I know I sound like a starry-eyed fanboy when I continually praise Ansha ma'am, but I honestly believe her joining to be one of the best things to happen to CID in the past few years. To debunk a popular myth, we don't like her for her good looks alone. Yes, she's beautiful enough to put Aphrodite to shame. And yet, Ansha di is not a mere beauty queen. She's a really gifted actor and a wonderful human being. She can effortlessly make her incomparably unique voice soothing as fragrant breeze or deadly as a lightning bolt when the situation demands. Her wardrobe, body language and demeanor are apt for a cop. Her stunts and disguise scenes are brilliant, and emotional moments are touching. Several cast and crew members and many fortunate fans who met or talked to her have mentioned what a humble and compassionate person she is. I feel that she truly deserves all the praise and appreciation she has been receiving for her efforts. I truly wish to see her in CID forever and earn an exalted position of admiration and respect in the hearts of all CIDians.
RESHMA:
Ansha Sayed as Inspector Purvi is one of the best officers for me. I have to confess that i did not like the character but in course of time she went on to steal my heart with her absolute elegance, eloquence, body language and her exquisite style. Purvi might simply be a character for someone but for me she is a living component and will be with me forever. Her harmonious bonding with her seniors and a friendly nature with Shreya is worth a million. Ansha Sayed is truly an amazing actress and I will love her forever..!
SRISHTI:
All i want to say is I love ansha mam fom the bottom of my heart for her lovely nature which can now a days be seldom found Ansha mam, our dear poorvi,to me is a brilliant actress. the reason why i like her is not just merely because she is beautiful but because she has a heart of gold! Ansha mam indeed is one who can bless even those who hate her.Ansha mam for me is one of the sweetest actress in tellywood. She loves her fans. The reason why most of us purvi fans love her is because we find ourselves in her. Ansha mam's sweetness, cuteness, innocence, bubblyness somehow helps us relate to the character of purvi very well Ansha di to me is also an perfectionist. She gives her hundred percent to each and every scene she gets. Even when she dosent have any dialogues she makes her presence felt very well Ansha mam pulls off stunts very easily wether it is jumping from a fifty feet tall wall or getting out from a moving vehicle she gives it her best shot Ansha mam hasnt got many centric episodes lately but when she does she rocks it . Another great quality of ansha mam is she bonds extremely well with all our co starts. So to me ansha mam is a friendly and sweet actress who is one in a million and such people can seldom be found who before doing anything consult their parents
