ANITA HASSANANDANI REDDY

I have never been a good dancer but am very passionate about it.

I had no fashion sense when I started out.

I get along with people very easily.

Honestly, I have a decent sense of humour with people I am close to.

I am bored of playing the bechari, behenji type of roles.

My character Preet in 'Fanaah' had a very distinctive appearance: loud make-up and dramatic clothes.

To play an older woman, 'til the look is not affected, it is never a problem for me. To play a matured character, it's different. You get to learn so much. It becomes more serious.

Despite his South Indian connection, my husband Rohit doesn't have an accent at all.

Hits, flops, and everything in between - I got to do a lot of different things as an actor, had a lot of good learning experiences. So I think I've done reasonably okay for myself, and God has given me more than what I've asked for.

The entertainment industry isn't secure.

Fortunately, I have always played younger than what I am.

I'm sure the audiences will connect with 'Yeh Hai Aashiqui,' as it will feature stories inspired from real life.

It's about believing in yourself and ignoring the fact that men dominate it. In fact, I feel women are as strong as men.

These 24-hour gyms are a blessing and super convenient. For actors doing daily TV shows, we have to stay in shape.

One falls in love without thinking!

People from Chandigarh are so warm and kind.

It's all about giving it your best in whatever you've got.

As an actor, you want to do something which audience don't expect from you.

I have done 'Gutar-Gu,' which was a silent comedy show.

I would love to do better in mainstream Hindi films, but one thing I must say is that my best experience so far has been in the Punjabi film industry, where I've been around for more than 11 years.

My work is appreciated; I am getting good offers. Honestly, we are both doing well professionally. My husband has also been busy with work, and so have I.

Working out, no matter what time of the night, rejuvenates me. At times, I don't feel sleepy after a workout session, as I am all fresh and charged up, and I don't mind compromising on my sleep.

I feel mindless comedies make you relax - there are times when I come from shooting and watch comedy shows; they really change my mood.

TV industry pays us as much as the leading guy or probably more. All our shows are women-oriented, and all the TV actresses are getting paid well. There is absolutely no discrimination over here.

I love everything from ice cream to prawns.
