PM Selfiewallie's Nityaami Shirke Wants to Star in a DDLJ Remake Opposite Varun Dhawan - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Starting your career with an Ekta Kapoor show is quite big a deal and ALTBalaji's newest fashionista, Nityaami Shirke is one of them. The actress made her debut with the web series, PM Selfiewallie, which is a very unique, one of a kind show. The actress claims to not be a fashionista in real life but her Instagram says otherwise. The episodes are streaming online on the app and have been getting a good response. Honestly, ALTBalaji has come up with a lot of good web series and it is definitely something you must watch! Haq Se, The Test Case, Bose: Dead/Alive, Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain and a lot of other shows that you must binge-watch. PM Selfiewallie is the newest addition where a budding fashionista becomes a PM for one day.

Nityaami had an exclusive chat with us where she spoke about acting, her favourite Bollywood celebrity and whether she will take up a daily soap at all. Check out excerpts from our chat here.

What do you think of comedy as a genre? You are making your debut in the genre. What did you take away from it?

I love that nothing really has been done in regards to politics, that too, politics and comedy. It's one of its kind. I'm a huge fan of chick flicks and this is primarily a chick flick that forms a warm, political sattire, so that's the main thing I took away from it. It was difficult to portray a character like that but we attended a couple of workshops, me and my director, Aasma, who is phenomenal.

How much could you relate to the character that you played onscreen?

So basically, Tanya is this young, positive girl and in those ways, I can totally connect to her. She is also this person who gets things done without actually changing who she is and I love that. As for her being clueless, a little naive and the fact that she is such a flambuyont fashionista, I'm not all of that in real life.

Making your debut with Ekta is a big deal. How do you feel about it?

I couldn't have been happier or asked for a better role. For her to have faith in a newcomer to carry off a role like this, where the show is primarily based on this girl, is a big deal.

What are your favourite ALTBalaji shows?

So I've watched Dev DD, The Test Case, Haq Se. I love The Test Case. I have watched quite a few other shows.

Will you take up any saas bahu sagas or daily soaps?

Hoenstly, for me it's more about the script than the medium. If I like the script, if I can resonate with my character and feel that it is something I can do justice to, I'll take it up.

So you don't have a problem with playing an onscreen bahu?

Again, it's dependant on the script and the character.

Any remake of a Bollywood film that you would want to star in?

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

With whom?

Varun Dhawan

The actress is a big fan of Varun and was even raving about his recent film, October. Though she is not a fashionista in real life, Nityaami's Instagram account is really glamorous and worth scrolling. What are your thoughts on this? Tell us in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.
