Young and talented actress Diljot Chhabra has garnered immense appreciation and fan following for her feisty portrayal of her character Sanjana in Sony SAB’s youth-based romance-driven show Ziddi Dil Maane Na. In conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Diljot spoke about the show, her character Sanjana, chemistry with Kunal Karan Kapoor and more. Read on:
How does it feel to be a part of a show like Ziddi Dil Maane Na?
It is an overwhelming feeling to be a part of such a show that depicts different layers of characters. It is something very different from what we usually see on TV. It is a show that breaks gender stereotypes hence it feels great to be a part of the project. I also feel delighted and proud of the fact that the show continues to be loved by our viewers.
What do you like the most about your character and the show?
My role Sanju and other characters, as well, are written beautifully with a lot of layers. Sanjana was shown as a tomboyish person who is rough and tough. Now, slowly we are revealing the softer side of Sanjana and people are loving it. I am grateful that they are liking it. Having said that, she will always be a strong-headed girl and would be passionate about her duty.
What are your expectations from this role?
I don’t expect anything out of a character. I try to give it as much as I can. I try to explore it in terms of every kind of emotion. Sanjana’s character has so much to it that we are still exploring. It has been a roller coaster journey so far.
How has been your experience working with your co-stars?
I am blessed to work with co-stars who are very real and not superficial. We all sit together to discuss the storyline, characters, scenes and also chill on sets. It is very easy, comfortable to shoot with everyone on the show. My action scenes with Shaalien Malhotra come out so well, as we share a great bond. Even working with Kunal is easy as we share an off-screen friendship. It is like a family now hence I really look forward to shooting with them all.
One thing you like about your co-star Kunal Karan Kapoor?
Kunal is a passionate and dedicated actor. He is a great human being. I really love how he adds so much to every scene. He would improvise greatly every single time, which is very impressive.
Finally, your message to your fans…
I would like to thank everyone for accepting Sanjana to great extent. I feel overwhelmed when I see messages of girls who say that they are inspired by Sanjana and want to join the Army. Thank you for the love and support. We promise to keep entertaining you guys with more exciting twists and turns in the coming year.
