Sanaya Irani is playing a simple, girl next door in Mile Jam Hum Tum, a show based on college romance.Very different from the glamorous role she portrayed in Radha ki Betiyaan kuch kar dikhaingi on NDTV Imagine. She feels that in real life she���s completely opposite to the character she plays in the former. ���I���m very loud and bubbly and talkative while Gunjan is not,��� she says.
But she���s happy to do the role because ���due to my fair and pretty looks, many people said that I will not look Indian and will not suit in a salwar kameez ��� which is exactly what I���m doing in the show. In a way I wanted to prove a point. If Ash and Katrina can do it, why can���t I?��� asks the actress who was also playing a commando in Left Right Left for some time.
Sanaya Irani, never wanted to get into acting. She was doing her BCom and had a desire to do MBA. But her mom thought otherwise. She felt that Sanaya should try modelling and acting.
So for a year she took a break from studies and ventured into modelling. Later auditions and acting happened and she enjoyed it. ���I liked acting but I was not sure how good I was. I had also not enrolled myself into any acting course because I wanted to learn the art my way,��� she says. So she started playing character roles and started learning things slowly and steadily. ���I wanted to do a lead role only when I was ready for it. Right now I want to do more of young stuff and perhaps gradually do some saas bahu stuff too,��� says the pretty lass who���s having a lot of fun on the sets with lots of youngsters around.
���Once the unit members played a prank on me by making me work for three continuous days without a break and then telling me to report to the sets early in the morning at 7 the next day. I was pissed off and I literally screamed at them. When they saw my angry face, they all burst out laughing,��� she relates about all the fun she is having on the sets.
