I am the “jaan” on the sets of Jaan: Nikita Sharma

Nikita Sharma is one of those lucky few girls who come to the city of dreams with a goal and achieve it within no time.

Only a few months ago, this actress came down to Mumbai to become an actress and now has gone on to bag a high profile project on TV, Life OK’s Do Dil Ek .. Jaan (Nautanki Telefilms). She will be seen as Antara, an intelligent daddy’s girl from Kashmir, who migrates to Mumbai to accomplish a dream (seems like reel and real life merging).

We contacted the actress to know about her small screen debut and more…

Excerpts:

“Basically from Delhi, I came down to Mumbai six months ago to achieve something in life. Luckily for me, one day I auditioned for Nautanki Telefilms’ Jaan… and good for me that I was selected the next day itself. In fact after four days of me bagging the show, we had to go to Kashmir. It was hard for me to differentiate between reality and dream as all of this was happening at a rapid pace. In no time, I was in Kashmiri shooting at -6 degrees temperature. It was hard to work without a sweater in the snow all the time for a month but eventually we did. In fact, there were times when it even snowed,” informs the actress.

“As a newcomer, it’s a big break. I am thankful to be a part of a show that’s almost like a movie on TV,” Nikita quips.

Nikita is not just lucky to have bagged a lead role in her very first show on television but she also had the opportunity to work with the veteran Farooque Sheikh, as she avers, “This was Farooque sir’s debut show on TV and I got to play his daughter. He is such a natural actor and there is so much to learn from him. Apart from that, since both of us are big time foodies, we used to talk about food on and off.”

Every actor wishes for a big banner romantic film and since the promos of the show are similar to that, we asked this newcomer if it was like a dream-come-true, to which she answers, “Yes, the romance here is more like a Yash Raj and Karan Johar love story.”

Did you ever get nervous while facing the camera? “Never, as I am so pampered on the sets that I don’t think I’d ever face that issue. I am the jaan (life) on the sets of Jaan….”

We just hope you become the viewers’ ‘jaan’ too!!!
