| | Shaheen Parkar | | SINGING A NEW TUNE: Manasi | She plays the blonde-haired singer Jo in the MTV soap Kitni Mast Hain Zindagi, but off-screen, too, Manasi Parekh is a singer. "I'm into professional singing and acting happened after I took part in the MTV talent hunt."
Parekh also features as a singer called Tania in the Sony daily Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai. Both these shows are at 8 pm, so "people will have to do a bit of channel surfing to catch up with me on the two shows."
Despite acting, she manages to get time for music. "I make it a point to take my guitar on the sets everyday. Besides, I do my riyaz every morning." A student of St Xavier's College, Parekh has just appeared for her TYBA exams "so vacations mean shooting round-the-clock."
Here are 10 things about the singer-actress… When is your birthday and what's your star sign?
