Hello, gorgeous!! AKANKSHA PURI

Enlighten India: You’re a phenomenal actor, and have impressed the Indian audience with your amazing acting skills, and your undeniable charm. How did it all start?

Akanksha Puri: Being an actor was never on the list !! I started my career as an international cabin crew n was doing print ads and few commercials in the south on my off days to earn some extra money !! Fortunately or unfortunately the company that I was working for shut down n I had few offers for south movies so I grabbed it at the right moment n since then there was no looking back !! I did 7 movies and then for 3 yrs I have been a leader of the show on sony tv playing Devi Parvati! It has been an exciting journey so far !!

Enlighten India: You’ve starred in several hit TV shows. What’s a typical day like on a shoot day?

Akanksha Puri: I have just done one shown luckily I got a lot of fame n popularity in my first show itself !! A regular day at work was 4 hrs of traveling and 12 hrs of work, and doing a mythological show is not an easy task as to whether it’s the language, costume, makeup, jewelry, nothing is what we do usually for other shows or movies and coming from movie background where you don’t have any pressure of telecast and you are treated like a queen, highly pampered, with one scene a day, this was quite challenging for me !!

Enlighten India: Working as a TV actor can be quite a tedious job with hectic work schedules. How do you not let your work take a toll on you mentally or physically?
