Personal Life & Career
Amritaâ€™s costar, who plays Siddhi, insists that Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai is not a typical saas-bahu serial. â€œNot at all. The focus of the story is on three girls and what they expect from their lives and donâ€™t get. Just like for Siddhi, my character, the love of her life is everything to her. So she wants a nuclear family. She believes everything can be accepted, but upto a certain limit.â€

But how much of this uptight character is Anchal in real life? â€œA part of it is very much me. I donâ€™t understand the concept of arranged marriage.... I believe in love, love marriage. And I wouldnâ€™t mind staying with my in-laws either, but if I have to stay with a family of 25 members Iâ€™ll go crazy,â€ laughs the chirpy girl.

A veteran on the small screen Anchal has already worked in serials like Saathi Re (STAR One), Sinddoor (Zee), Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki (Sahara), Kabhi Aaye Na Judaai (Star Plus) mostly as the docile and loving bahu. Her role in Har Ghar is a welcome break â€" â€œHere, I am playing a very independent girl, who can take her own decision.â€

With three girls as the protagonists, were there catfights and turf tussles? â€œNo, no not at all. It doesnâ€™t matter at all. Actually it all depends on the storyline. So there is nothing to feel jittery about. Eventually everyoneâ€™s track is going to open, one by one,â€

Since her character is one of a strong minded woman and there is every possibility of it turning negative, would she be comfortable with the change? A pause later, Anchal clarifies: â€œIt depends on the storyline really. If it changes I wonâ€™t mind doing a negative role. As long as my track is important to the show and it is the lead role I donâ€™t mind,â€ she smiles.

For the girl whose, â€œwork is getting progressively betterâ€ Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai could well be just the beginning.
