“I risk things only when it comes to matters of the heart” Sukirti Kandpal who is now seen in her latest show Kaisa Yeh Risk Hai… Ajab sa Risk Hai talks about the risks she likes to take in real life.

April 29, 2013 in General

251207-v58hwh6gSukirti Kandpal who is currently seen as Simran in Kaisa Yeh Risk Hai… Ajab sa Risk Hai says that she is hardly a risk taker and plays it easy!
My risk quotient – I don’t risk too much in any case. I am very straight forward and stubborn. A lot of things don’t affect me so my risk quotient is very less.
Risks in career related matters – I never risk my body for a shot which I think I cannot do because you do not know when you may hurt or injure yourself and come back one piece or not! If it is a concept that is not to my liking and I don’t believe in it I don’t spend my time on it. So, I am always Sukirti who can lend my face and acting skills to the character I am playing so I don’t think I risk anything at all.
Risking a false image – I never risk my image because I believe in the show I am doing and I believe I am a good actor with a pleasant personality and it is going to work all the time. Also risking a false image is not risking anything at all because people like what you are doing and I don’t risk that at any point of time. I am the same hard working actor who looks good and is on time so I am not risking my job.
Risks in the matters of heart – I risk things only when it comes to the matters of the heart. I have taken a lot of risks that way and fortunately met very good people and eventually everything turned out fine.
The time when I had to say ‘Kaisa Yeh Ishq Hai… Ajab sa Risk Hai’ – I felt that way when I took a risk with the person I have been dating for a long, long time which is Rishabh Jain and we are still together. It happened when I was very confused and I was not at my best then. I really respect him for that and I was like what I am doing and at the still knew what I was doing. That was the biggest risk and that time it was worth it and after that I came back to normal.

January 8, 2013 in General

Getting a car insured in Hoboken is very expensive ($750 for 6 months). Some of my friends use their friends address (Say Edison address) and get much cheaper quotes. What are the risks in doing this? My friend also had a claim with no problems (but it was a minor claim).
