The 35-year-old actress revealed how she started her journey from a music video to doing TV shows. She also spoke about the struggle she faced while auditioning for various roles and how she earned her money from TMKOC. Scroll down to know more.
Speaking to ETimes, Anjali Mehta aka Sunayana Fozdar revealed that she was not from the movie families and how she broke with typecasting. “There have been many. For me, Touchwood, getting work was never difficult. I am not from this background. I was picked up from university for my first music video on Bappi da’s Gori Hai Kalaiyan. Then I did Southern movies , advertisements and then I got my first break on TV – Santaan. But the point was that it was always a struggle to get good roles. If I played a certain role, I would be typecast in it. So to break free from those stereotypes was a battle.Back then, when casting, people would say, ‘Monkey fair ho, you look very modern.’ I started my career as a middle class girl from a chawl. People would say, ‘Aap gareeb nahi dikh sakte’. So I would get typecast a lot. But luckily I have good chances,” she said.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress also spoke about her future plans. She revealed if she would appear in reality shows like Rohit Shetty presented Khatron Ke Khiladi and Salman Khan presented Bigg Boss as fans would love to see her in one of the shows.
Sunayana Fozdar said, “Never say never. Although there are many things outside my comfort zone, I would love to work with Khatron Ke Khiladi. About Bigg Boss, I don’t know if a personality like me can survive, but I won’t say never. I’m open to all the opportunities the universe sends. You might just see me on one of those shows, you never know.”
After all, there is still hope for fans of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah to see their favorite Anjali Mehta in reality shows.
