I took it as a compliment when people gossip about my relationship with Harshad : Anupriya Kapoor

Tere Liye was the romantic saga which created history in a very short duration of time (14th July, 2010 to 2nd April, 2011).  It was the love story of Taani (Anupriya Kapoor) and Anurag (Harshad Chopra), who are bound by the thread of love from their childhood.

I caught up with Anupriya Kapoor aka Taani of the ruthless love story and here she shares about Tere Liye, Taani and Harshad Chopra.

Do you know why April the 2nd is special?
Well yes, of course I remember. I want to make a little correction to your question, 2nd April is not special for those who are related to Tere Liye.

Then?
It was incredibly sad day not only for fans but for me also. Because Tere Liye went off air on 2nd April, 2011, so I think it’s a not the day to celebrate.

What do you think is the secret for the success of Tere Liye?
Tere Liye was an absolutely performance driven show and has an amazing story line. Each character was so balanced that no actor overshadows the other. If you look at each character, you will realize they are all very well scripted. May be this was the secret behind the success.

Tere Liye went through a lot of changes in terms of creative team over the time.
Actually, naye writers, creative’s aur director’s aa rahe the.. jaa rahe the. I don’t know audience are aware of it or not, I think they never felt that some many things are changing in the background.

Off course viewers never felt it.  Do you know why?
The casting was perfect as everybody fits the bill and all the actors were emotionally attached to their characters.  Inspite of creative changes in the background, each actor managed to maintain their performance and had given their best.

You have received kudos for executing the character of Taani so well. Do you have anything to say?
When you are playing a character then you should not only act, you must feel it as well, which is hardest part of acting. I was psychologically attached to Tanni. I actually cried, laughed while playing the character.

Your fans still remember you as Taani.
Sometimes I feel happy, I think kuch achcha kaam hii kiya hoga maine.

So do you think audience will accept you in different character as they still see Taani in you?
 I know they will be with me and accept me in different characters also.

If given an opportunity will you work with Harshad as a co-star again, would you say yes?
What do you think?

You are not supposed to ask questions?
Haha..Obviously my answer will be yes.

If you share screen space with Harshad then your chemistry might typecast?
I don’t think so because woh naya show Tere Liye nahi hoga.

If you could play any other character from Tere Liye, which one would it be?
I would love to play Taani again and again, because that's the only character of Tere Liye which suits me.

I am curious about your relationship status.
I am single. Don't forget, curiosity killed the cat(laughs)

You've been linked to Harshad Chopra earlier.
We never dated, neither I was nor am I in a relationship with Harshad.  They were just rumours.

Are you bothered because of such rumours?
I can't be bothered with them. Initially I used to get irritated but gradually I started taking it as a compliment.

You are taking relationship rumours as compliment... I am confused.
I think our on and off screen chemistry was responsible for this (smiles).  As an actor I take it as compliment because we enacted our roles in Tere Liye very well that people started believing that we are off screen couple.

What are you doing these days?
I am travelling too much these days.

Travelling and losing your stuff.
Exactly, recently I forgot my blackberry while shopping in Dubai.

I am tempted to ask what you have lost today?
(laughs) I lost one of my diamond earrings. I am still searching pata nahi kaha gayi.

Would you like to do a reality show since you have done ‘Jee Le Ye Pal’ in the past?
Yes I would love to.

How real reality shows are?
‘Jee Le Ye Pal’ was a real one, it was a clean reality show. I will never cheat my audience in reality show. If I ever do a reality show and felt it’s scripted then I will openly accept it.  I believe in calling a spade a spade.
