Avika Gor doesn’t mind playing mature roles

Join us on Facebook 

New Delhi, May 20 (IANS) Avika Gor is barely 15 years old but she has played an 18-year-old married woman Roli in “Sasural Simar Ka”. And the actress says she doesn’t have a problem playing mature roles.

Avika’s claim to fame was playing child bride Anandi in “Balika Vadhu”, but she quit the show after it took a five-year leap in 2010 and Pratyusha Banerjee was brought in as grown up Anandi.

But the very next year Avika featured in “Sasural Simar Ka” as Roli and the actress wishes she was offered “challenging roles” so that she can “prove herself”.

“The things that you like are not difficult for you. I love acting and I don’t mind playing mature roles. I want to follow the footsteps of actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan.”

Avika was 10 years old when she worked in “Balika Vadhu”, so playing an eight-year-old in it was not tough for her.

“I was happy to get the role of Anandi. I was 10 years old then and I had to play the role of an eight-year-old. It was easy for me because I have been through that age,” she said.

“When I got the role of Roli, it was a challenge as I had to play an 18-year-old mature girl. In ‘Balika Vadhu’, I had to speak in Rajasthani language, but in ‘Sasural Simar Ka’ Roli was a typical Delhi girl, so I had to speak Hindi,” she said.

“It wasn’t hard for me, but the way a 15-year-old talks and the way an 18-year-old talks is very different. So I had to work on that. I used to sit with my directors and writers to learn that.”

In “Sasural Simar Ka”, Roli gets killed, but Avika returns to the show as Jhumki, a banjaran girl, and it posed a new challenge for the actress.

“I am dancing on Hema Malini’s song ‘Jab tak hai jaan’, so I had to watch that song,” she said.

Revealing movie plans, she said she has “signed a Telugu film” in which she will be seen as a teenage “college-going-girl”.

SRK-Kat starrer titled Jab Tak Hai Jaan!

In 1975, Gabbar Singh told Basanti, “Jab tak tere paaon chalenge uski sans chalegi.” And the chammak challo from Sholay danced crazy to the beat of the RD Burman number “Jab tak hai jaan, jaane jahaan, main naachoongi.”

Thirty-seven years later, comes Shah Rukh Khan on a Royal Enfield bike, riding high on his superstar days; almost making a comeback of sorts with his first mentor Yash Chopra’s movie, co-starring his contemporary Salman Khan’s on-and-off-girlfriend Katrina Kaif, in a film by the YRF banner, which shot him to dizzying heights years ago with Darr.

As we all know, it’s been the first time in the history of Bollywood, that a filmmaker had kept the title of his movie ‘under wraps’ till its neared release. Even as a teaser of the movie was out recently with the theatrical release of Ek Tha Tiger, everyone was kept wondering what its title was!

But the cat is finally out of the bag. The Yash Raj Films SRK-Katrina starrer has been titled Jab Tak Hai Jaan, sounding like an ode to the Sholay song, with music for the film composed by AR Rehman.

“Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra were really happy that Hema Malini continued to dance her emotions out with the song in Sholay,” quips Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar. “What better title for SRK than one which consolidates his never-ending box-office romp. It aptly compliments his never-say-die attitude,” adds the publicity expert, complimenting the intelligent title.

We don't know much about others, but it sure would make Hema Malini very very happy!

Scheduled for a November 13, 2012 release, the film, also starring Anushka Sharma in the lead, is believed to be a love triangle and marks the return of Yash Chopra as a director after a gap of eight years; his last film being Veer-Zaara in 2004.

Meanwhile, there are rumours that the theatrical trailer of Jab Tak Hai Jaan will be released on the filmmaker’s birthday on September 27.
