Mumbai, Nov 3
Sayyeshaa Saigal, who made her big Bollywood
debut in "Shivaay" said here on Wednesday that working
in the film was a learning experience for her.
"For the first time, I saw a film camera
on the set. I didn't have any reference when I went to the
set of Akhil (her first Telegu film)... I learnt there about
the angles and lighting. However, of course, 'Shivaay' set
up and the unit was much bigger ... it was a very big learning
experience for me," she said in an exclusive interview.
"As I continue to work, I think I will
be able to learn with every film," she added.
Sharing the experience of working with Ajay
Devgn, Sayyeshaa, 19, said, "The best part about Ajay
Devgn sir is his calmness. In spite of being a superstar,
he is such a humble person. If you ever have a tea with him,
you won't even realise he is such a big star."
"As an actor he is spontaneous. He didn't
have to do rehearsals before the scenes which I learnt from
him. He always used to tell me throw dialogues as if you would
do at home. Speak naturally and don't overact," the young
actress added.
About the film's feedback and the clash with
Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", the actress
said, "The comments which I received so far are good.
Both the films are good so both will get a good run at box
office."
Sayyeshaa, who is the grandniece of veteran
actors Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu, said she took tips from
them about how to prepare before going on the set.
"They told me that how they used to
prepare the dialogues before going to the set. They used to
make notes putting right conjunctions between the lines. Saira
ji suggested me to learn Odissi dance," She said.
While she rubbished the news of being part
of Salman Khan's next or doing any single opposite Sushant
Singh Rajput, Sayyeshaa said she has finalised one script
which she will be announcing soon. |
