One of Sony SAB's longest running shows 'Chidiyaghar' will now take an 8-year leap. Moving 8 years further, the show will see cute kids, Gillu and Gajj all grown up. The new Gajj will be played by Anjita Poonia.

Here is a brief conversation with her-

How does it feel to be part of one of the longest running show 'Chidiyaghar'?

I feel really excited and happy to be the part of this show. It's like a dream come true. My parents follow the show regularly. Now they will see me acting in the show.

How do you relate yourself to the character of Gajj?

I don't relate much with Gajj but there are some similarities that I see in the character. I love to eat just like Gajj. I am a happy go lucky person like her who loves to enjoy her life. I am my papa's most lovable child just like Gajj is in 'Chidiyaghar'.

This is your first television stint, how do you feel about it?

I feel really different. I come from a theater background and coming to television I feel contented. I was nervous at the thought of facing the camera for the first time but the cast and crew didn't let me feel low. They are so friendly and make us so comfortable on the set that I never feel nervous.

Do you enjoy working for a television show like 'Chidiyaghar'?

Yes, I am enjoying every bit of it. Though I have worked in theater before, the working style here is different.

Who are your go-to people on the set that you connected instantly with?

Babuji (Rajendra Gupta) and Gillu (Bhavin Bhanushali) are the two I connected with instantly on the set.

Starting your television career with a comedy how does it feel?

Comedy is definitely not easy but I feel if you know your character well you can do it easily. I don't feel any pressure because I enjoy the character. But I always wanted to do comedy as while doing comedy the environment around me is always pleasant.

Looking forward to the leap?
