The glamorous girl of the small screen industry Jennifer Winget ('Dr. Riddhima of Dill Mill Gayye') had a recent conversation with TellyCafe where she revealed many of her secrets. Playing the part of Dr. Riddhima or hosting a reality show, Jennifer had always done it all with dedication and it is her hard work that has brought her success today. So do you want to know more about Jennifer? Here we go…
How is Jennifer in real life?
Jennifer is very simple girl exactly as Riddhima is. But unlike Riddhima, Jennifer doesn't cry easily. I believe in hard work and am as normal as any other girl. There is nothing unique in me as a person. But yes! There is a huge difference in my onscreen and off screen persona as Jennifer is talkative while Riddhima is not.
How would you describe yourself in one word?
'Versatile' (Laughs).
How was your schooling?
I had fun in school. I was a very good student, I still remember that my brother and I went to school together and he was a total spoilt brat. Our parents were called in and we were both asked to stand up while the principal said good things about me and not my brother. Every one called me an 'angel' and him the 'evil one'. Our principal always asked my parents whether they were sure that both of us were their own. (Laughs).
Tell us something about your college days?
Well, I was in Somaiya college but I didn't enjoy it. I started working on small screen as soon as I joined college. So for me the college life was just limited to my exams and other important stuff.
Tell us one good and one bad point that prevail in this industry?
One good point is that you get to mingle with many different people. You learn how to survive in this industry too. It teaches you a lot. It allows you to display your talent and makes you a better person. The industry is unpredictable; you never know what will happen next. That is a definite minus here.
Share some memories of your life!
A day that I will never forget was when I received an award on Sony TV, I know that no one knows about it, but yes! I have received an award for a comic role in the serial 'Kkusum'. Although it was a combined award, it was something which gave me the strength to survive in this industry. And I will never forget that.
Like other television actors, are you waiting for a Bollywood break too?
Yes! I dream big of getting into Bollywood as every TV actors do. But I don't think that I will get a break in a movie and achieve instant success because I know that every actor has a flop initially which gets them geared up later on. So a break is not something worthwhile for me, I am waiting for good roles.
What will you choose if asked to choose between, Riddhima and hosting the reality shows?
That's a pretty impossible task. To choose one of these! As Riddhima is me, the role is close to my heart and hosting is Jennifer Winget all over again that is me again, so I can't leave any of these options.
Are you amazed by the fan response?
Yes, recently I got a tattoo on my leg which was my birthday gift to myself and during the shoots of 'Zara Nachke Dikha', it was visible. But it was so lovely of my fans to have noticed it and I got a feed back about the tattoo being very nice. Hats Off to you guys.
Any plans to get married?
(Laughs), No! No! No! Not now. Whenever my work allows me, I will definitely think of it, but not right now.
How was your journey so far?
It was great and quite long journey. And for me it was a whole new world as no one from our family had been in the industry. everything was new for me, right from the cameras, lights to each single object. But by god's grace, I have always been surrounded by good people who taught me many things and helped me overcome my problems.
So do you think that now you are settled in life?
Actually, I don't like the word 'settle'. I always live for the present. So there is nothing like 'settling in life' but when you think about being happy with what you have, it can be termed as being settled. Some people are not satisfied with their lives. I just love what I do.
