Vedika Bhandari: I am new to the industry and I am still learning a few things!
The very talented actress, Vedika Bhandari from Siddharth P. Malhotra (Alchemy Films) television serial “Who Apna Sa” that airs on Zee, is wise beyond her years. Talking about her journey in the television industry, she said, “within a few years I would really like to do movies and a lot of good television shows. I really want to explore more. There is nothing permanent here. It is what the industry gives us. We have to accept it. There are ups and downs everywhere, but we learn with time. I am new to the industry and I am still learning a few things. Time will teach me more, she added.”
About her character Neha in Who Apna Sa, Vedika says she can totally relate to her, “I am very much like her. Neha is the young girl who is very gullible and naïve and can fall into anyone’s trap very easily. She is also very kind.”
Yes, the actress is not as gullible and knows enough to maintain good relations with other senior cast members on sets. She said, “I love shooting with Ssudeep Sahir and Ridhi Dogra. We look forward to the shoots. Even when we are not shooting, we miss each other badly. I look up to them as people who are experienced and I get to learn from them. Also, I have a lot of fun shooting with Buneet Kapoor. He is very chilled out and fun to hang out with. We have a lot of fun on set pulling each other’s’ leg.”
A die heart Bollywood fan, she says Ranbir Kapoor and Vidya Balan are her favorite stars. She reveals, “Among actors, I love Ranbir Kapoor. He is somebody who is an excellent actor plus has good looks. He is like a complete package. When it comes to actresses, it has to be Vidya Balan. She can do any kind of role with full conviction be it a teenage girl or a mother. I love how versatile she is.”
Vedika, who has studied at New York Film Academy, says she unwinds watching English sitcoms and hopes the Indian TV industry raises its own standards to meet those of the west. She says, “I like watching American and British sitcoms and I wish that our industry would take some concepts from these shows.”
Asking about Vedika’s reality show aspirations she told, “I love dancing! So I would like to do the dance in reality shows like Nach Baliye or Jhalak Dikhla Jaa.”
