It’s 3.00pm and Aditi Sharma wants a few minutes to nibble before speaking to the Metro Plus.  “I’m late for lunch, just back from hearing a narration of a Bengali film,” she says. The beautiful actress has finished shooting for Gunde Jhallumannadhi, her debut film with Uday Kiran. She is currently chalking out the next course of action. The pretty looking Punjabi from Lucknow was spotted, selected in a Zee Talent Hunt in 2004 and she instantly bagged two films, Khanna And Iyer, and Black And White – a Mukta Arts production.

The actress says she met Madan the director of Gunde Jhallumannadhi and  a few others too but chose to work  in the former’s film as she was absolutely enamoured by her character. Even after pack up is announced at seven, she says she would write down all her dialogues for the next day and get it translated. Aditi adds, “I wanted to look every inch a telugu heroine, so I memorized, emoted and lived the role till the film got over. My director would forget that I’m alien to the language but towards the end of the shoot, I got a little comfy with the language and he  would come and explain the scene to me in telugu and would ask, “you got it?” and I would instantly say Yes!.

She explains Gunde Jhallumanadhi is the feeling one gets when you fall in love, it is dil ka masalna at first sight. I play Neelima, a simple person to look at but she has too many things on her mind. It’s a musical love story and there are scenes that themselves create a comedy.” She heaps praise on her co-star Uday Kiran and says that he’s a very sweet and a charming person, very passionate about his work and very focused. She had many apprehensions before coming to the South, whether she would adjust to the work, and wasn’t sure if she would sign more films but now by the end of this project Aditi is more than convinced, that she is here to stay.

Aditi means “mother of  the Sun God’ she explains and adds that her most memorable moment while working in this telugu film was that’s he had to stay put for more than forty five minutes on a harness for a shot in Chikmagular. She says, ‘It was some technical issue, I had to be elevated on the crane and believe it was so much fun.”  The actress  thinks that she needs no exercise after all those dances in the shootings as the steps  in telugu film industry is far more lively, energetic . She nevertheless swims everyday for half an hour and has joined classes in Kathak. She adds that she makes the most amazing cakes but tries to be very happy always which is a good and probably the best exercise.
