Kabhi kabhi Aditi...

New entrant to Telugu films, Aditi Sharma is enthusiasm personified



Good break Aditi Sharma

It’s 3.00p.m. and Aditi Sharma wants a few minutes to eat before speaking to us. “I’m late for lunch, just back from hearing a narration of a Bengali film,” she says. The beautiful actress has finished shooting for Gunde Jhallumannadhi, her debut film with Uday Kiran. She is currently chalking out the next course of action. The pretty looking Punjabi from Lucknow was spotted through a talent show on TV in 2004 and she instantly bagged two films, Khanna And Iyer, and Black And White.

The actress says she met Madan the director of Gunde Jhallumannadhi and a few others too but chose to work in the former’s film as she was absolutely enamoured by her character. Even after pack up is announced at seven, she says she would write down all her dialogues for the next day and get it translated. Aditi adds, “I wanted to look every inch a Telugu heroine, so I memorised, emoted and lived the role till the film got over.”

She explains, Gunde Jhallumannadhi is the feeling one gets when you fall in love. I play Neelima, a simple person to look at but she has too many things on her mind. It’s a musical love story and there are scenes that themselves create a comedy.”

She heaps praise on her co-star Uday Kiran and says that he’s a very sweet and a charming person, very passionate about his work and very focused. She had many apprehensions before coming to the South, whether she would adjust to the work, and wasn’t sure if she would sign more films but now by the end of this project Aditi is more than convinced, that she is here to stay.

Aditi means “mother of the Sun God’ she explains and adds that her most memorable moment while working in this film was that she had to stay put for more than 45 minutes on a harness for a shot in Chikmagular.

She says, “It was some technical issue, I had to be elevated on the crane but it was so much fun.” The actress thinks that she needs no exercise after all those dances in the shootings as the steps in Telugu film industry is far more lively and energetic . She nevertheless swims everyday for half an hour and has joined classes in Kathak. She adds that she makes the most amazing cakes and tries to stay happy always which is a good and probably the best exercise.
