Amandeep Sidhu on Tu Haii Aashiiki role: I don't relate to her

Amandeep Sidhu opens up about differences between her real personality and her character Noor in Tu Haii Aashiiki, praising Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta's production.

"I always listen to my heart... last call is always mine - Amandeep Sidhu"

Mumbai, June 17

Actress Amandeep Sidhu, who plays Noor in Tu Haii Aashiiki, says she doesn't relate to her character.

Talking about her role, she says, "The character of Noor is a very simple, very outgoing, outspoken, mature college-going girl. She loves her family. I can relate to the way she loves her family, the way she cares about her family's decisions. But somewhere deep down, I don't relate to her."

Amandeep said that her character does not do much for her happiness.

"But Amandeep is not like that. I always listen to my heart. I always take opinions from my mother, my family. But last call is always mine. So in that way, I'll say Noor and Amandeep are a little different. I take charge of my life every time," she said.

Amandeep is a very "romantic person" and hence loves the title of the show.

"The name is all about love, and it means a lot to me because I am a very romantic person. I am an over-the-top romantic kind of a person. I'm a Cancerian. I have lived through all the scenes, all the episodes that you will see, all the things that I have shown, how Pumma is loving Noor, I have lived through it because on TV, we have never done anything like this, I have never done anything like this, so it was very new for me, falling in love."

"You know, as a full movie romance, I think this is what I wanted the most at this moment, I wanted to, you know, feel it, so I felt it and it was amazing, it was an amazing experience," she says.

The actress says that it is a pleasure being part of a show produced by actor-producers Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta.

"What I feel is that Sargun and Ravi are working on the characters more than on the story. They feel that if we make the character so strong that the audience can connect with it, then the story will work."

Amandeep feels the story of "Tu Haii Aashiiki" is of a "guy who loves a girl very much."

She added: "He has made Pumma's character so strong that, I mean, everyone will fall in love with Pumma. And because Pumma loves Noor, everyone will fall in love with Noor. So, it's a beautiful thing they are doing."

As for the audience, she is confident that they will love the story because it is "simple and relatable stories we show nowadays."

If you show them very simple, realistic movies, very relatable stories, relatable characters, relatable scenes, they will enjoy it. They will enjoy it again and again."

"If I talk about myself, I like stories that are very real, and then I watch it again. I feel that every show of Dreamiyata is simple and unique. If I talk about Badal Pe Paon Hai, which I did before this, you will see, the episodes, the scenes, were so simple, so realistic, and actually for that, people loved Bani," she said.

Interesting how actors sometimes don't relate to their characters! But that's what makes acting challenging, right? 😊 Amandeep seems to be doing a great job though - I'm loving her chemistry with Pumma in the show. More power to her!

I appreciate her honesty. Many actors pretend to be exactly like their characters for publicity. It's refreshing to hear someone say they're different from their role yet still give their 100%. The show is quite popular in our family - my mom never misses an episode!

As a Cancerian myself, I totally get what she means about being romantic! ♋️ The show's title is indeed beautiful. Though I wish Indian TV would move beyond the "guy loves girl" trope and show more diverse love stories. Still, the performances make it worth watching.

Not sure why she had to mention she doesn't relate to her character. Feels a bit unprofessional to me - actors should fully embrace their roles. That said, Dreamiyata does produce quality content compared to other Indian TV shows with their endless saas-bahu dramas.

My daughter and I watch this show together every evening! ❤️ We love how Amandeep portrays Noor - so natural and effortless. Even if she says she's different in real life, that's what acting is about na? Becoming someone else convincingly. More power to her!

It's good that Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta are focusing on character development. Indian TV needs more producers who understand that strong characters make strong stories, not just dramatic plot twists. Hope to see more shows like this!
