“I would’nt mind playing a negative role”: Neelam Sivia

Neelam Sivia currently seen in Sony TV’s Kya Huaa Tera Vaada in talk with us….

How did you bag the role of Anika in Kya Huaa Tera Vaada?

I was asked to come an audition for the role, I gave a look test and got finalized for the show.

How has your journey been so far in the industry?

My journey has been pretty interesting and good. I moved to Mumbai 3 years ago and in the beginning it was very difficult since I was new to the city and did not know anyone. However, now everything has become smoother for me.

You are working with big stars like Mona Jaswir Singh, Mouli Ganguly amongst others. How is the experience?

I haven’t had any scenes with Mona yet but she is very sweet. Mouli is great and very co-operative. This is my first show and she has been very supportive. I learn a lot by watching her.

How is the real Neelam Sivia?
Neelam is very sweet and chilled out. I like traveling and watching movies which is my biggest time pass.

The type of role you wish to play in the future?

I want to play anything which is exciting, like Anika is a character with a lot of shades. I wouldn’t mind doing a negative role or a typical Bollywood kind of role or that of a psychotic person. Actually, anything that appeals to me.

What do you do in your free time?

In my free time I just want to relax but when I am not shooting I spend a lot time doing domestic chores. Also, I make sure I go to gym, like this week I only went to the gym once. I also go learn Kathak and whenever I get I call my teacher and learn from her. Apart from that I hang out with friends and as I stay with my sister in Mumbai I spend some time with her too

Your favourite food?

Right now I am eating a sandwich but I love anything made from potatoes. My favourite cuisine is Thai and apart from that I live Mexican food too. I hail from Punjab and so I love to eat Noth Indian food. It reminds me of my mom’s cooking.

Favourite holiday destination?

Of all the places I have been to, Spain would be one of them and Turkey was amazing. There are many other places that I want to visit. I am more of an exotic person, so anything with beaches is something I like.

Favourite TV show at the moment?

Kya Hua Tera Vaada (laughs).

Favourite TV actor/actress?

Right now, all my support and love is for Mouli Ganguly.

What do you have to say to your fans who are watching you in the show?

Well, if they relate to me, they will like me and because of their support, I get the courage to do better and bigger.
