Vaishali Takkar Interview: I got Super Sisters with just one audition

After being part of two such major shows as Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Sasural Simar Ka, actor Vaishali Thakker will now be part of a new show called Super Sisters. The actor talks about how it feels to be part of the project, how she got the role as well as other work that she wants to do.

What are the prominent shows you have done?


I've been very fortunate to get all the big shows as of now. I began with Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai which gave me recognition and then the second big was Sasural Simar Ka which has established me as an actor on TV.

How did you get Super Sisters

I got Super Sisters with just one audition. It was a Sunday afternoon and I got an urgent call from Optimystix. I reluctantly went but now I'm glad I did. I am so happy to work with another big producer, Vipul D Shah. He's great and yet so humble.

What is so special about the role? What are the character details? How different is this role from Sasural Simar Ka and Yeh Rishta…?

My character in Super Sisters is completely different from what I played in Sasural Simar Ka. I was playing a rich daughter (Anjali) of one of the main leads. She was raised by the vamp in the show. Anjali had various extreme shades. But in Super Sisters, I'm playing the main lead who is a well-educated village girl. She is the heart of the village that she lives in and also will be blessed by superpowers. In short, I'm playing a super girl.

How do you unwind after hard days of work?

After a hard day’s work, I love to spend quality time with my friends. We have great food and call it a cheat day!

Any interesting fun experience that you would like to share?

I had a fun experience recently on a Sunday morning. I woke up at 10 am and craved for some adventure. I called two of my best friends and we agreed to go on a road trip to Goa. It was midnight by the time we reached and also couldn't get a hotel immediately, so we ended up going to a casino. There, the three of us played and lost a lot of money. The next day we were regretting this. But then I felt like recovering this money at the casino. And believe or not, I just played with 4k and recovered around 50k. I was playing for all 3 of us!
