Snigdha moves out of Sahara shadow

Snigdha Akolkar, who shot to fame with her character, Shyamlee in Sahara One's Hare Kaanch Ki Choodiyan, will soon be seen in Sony's soon to be launched show, Vaidehi. The show will be on air from 5 June 2006.

"I play the parallel lead in the show, my character Janaki forming the basic suspence of the show. The show revolves around the lives of two girls," says Snigdha, refusing to divulge any details.

The show produced by Aroona Irani, stars Sachin Sharma, Pallavi Kulkarni and Nikkhil Arya in important roles.

"Janaki will wear simple sarees...she's a simple girl, who is very mature and has a kid. She is subtle and very level headed," says Snigdha, who has been shooting non stop for one and a half months for the two shows simultaneously.

"It's been very hectic, but I am enjoying it! I wanted to do something different for a long time. Here the scenes are different than Hare...and I have the scope to do a variety of things that I might not be able to do in the Sahara show. I have had no holiday for a very long time, but the best part is that I have two great roles and production houses that are great to work with. My experience with Aroonaji was an amazing one and I am looking forward to Vaidehi going on air," says the visibly excited actor.
