It is a challenging role for me to play: Aakanksha

Jaipur girl Aakanksha Singh will be latest to join the league of television actors from the Pink City.

Soon, she will be seen in a primetime show, making her debut with " Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha" as the female lead. Pursuing a career in physiotherapy, Aakanksha otherwise has a wide experience in theatre and has acted in more than 10 full length plays.

Preparing to play an intense role in her upcoming soap, which will go on air from January 9, this Jaipur girl never thought she would ever be in Mumbai one day, pursuing her passion for acting. So, how did she bag the rold? She says, "I gave auditions held last year, for some other serial. Unfortunately I didn't get selected for it. But after almost one year, I got call from the production house offering me this role." The show is about the journey of a housewife, whose life revolved around the four walls of her home, and then one day, is forced to step out to become independent. A widow with two small children, she is fighting a pending court case on the behalf of her dead husband.

Though Aakanksha would be playing the widow - Mrs Megha Vyas - who is simple, intense and serious, she is an adventurous and cheerful person in real life. She says, "It is a challenging role for me to play. Playing the mother of two kids at the age of 21 is quite not easy." Focussing solely on her role and the serial, she does not want to plan anything else at the moment, be it in her professional or her personal life. She say, "I don't know about the future. What I know is that theatre and acting is my alltime passion, but I will also do something substantial for the medical profession. That's for sure."

And, says this fiesty girl, keeping a healthy balance between her career and studies is no difficult task for her. A University topper in Physiotherapy, Aakanksha says, "I have always been a bright student all through my academic career. So, it won't be much of a problem for me. I don't need to study for hours to make it to the merit list." Well, let's hope the serial makes it to some merit list as well...
