Rupali Ganguly, Reem Shaikh, Shivangi Joshi, Anita Raaj and Samridhii Shukla recently had a round table chat with DKP. As the actresses opened up about their personal stories, in the second part of the conversation, the divas shared about the craziest things that they did in love. Shivangi, Reem and Samridhii also opened up about fathers' support in their career.
I am a very adventurous person, I had gone to lengths to hide the person. I sneaked the person I loved to the place where I was. I was out of town, the person I was with, I sneaked him in and nobody knew. I don't get scared of anything, for me, I was doing that out of love and felt like it's all fair.
The craziest thing was my ISD bills, I could have bought a house if I hadn't spent so much on it. Tab mobile nahi hota tha, outgoing from the ISD booth was around Rs 72 for one time. And if there was a call on mobile then it was Rs 108 outgoing and Rs 34 for incoming. If I would have dated someone from the city then mere ghar ho jaate 2-4.
I was in 10 standard and in school time I used to like someone. I used to like this boy and we used to get homework in class, I would tell him main tumhara homework kar dungi, I would get his books home and write his work first and then there were times when I would complete his homework and mine would stay incomplete.
My parents are my best friends and they know about it. I am the lady version of SRK and I can go mad when I am in love. So the craziest thing that I have done would be flying across the country for a day and a half to meet someone special. But then again I am single so I don't know.
My dad left his career to make my career. He had left his job for 4-5 years to make me an established actor. So yes, he has been the backbone that has helped me flourish in my career.
I was very young when I came into the Industry and it was my choice to pursue acting and my parents had supported me. Still, there were many in my family that pointed fingers at us. They told my parents that 'beti ko doctor banao, actor kaun bana ta hai'. But my father took a stand for us and he supported us. He has set a benchmark for me, he took care of my siblings, and my grandparents when my mom and I were here in Mumbai.
I have seen girls from my college who were toppers but couldn't make a career out of it as they came from reserved families. They had to marry at a young age. But for me, my father was the one who asked me to pursue this career, he is the one who propelled me. I was an introvert and I didn't think I would take up this career. I was quite apprehensive but my father stood like a pillar.
