While we are in the middle of our photoshoot in a leading city club, we hear murmurs of ‘You are Kaveri right?’ as a motley bunch of teens and Nidhi Seth young women hover around prime time television’s rising star Nidhi Seth, who’s striking a picture-perfect pose for our lensman.
Even if her prime time daily went off air a few weeks ago, Nidhi continues to be remembered for her onscreen persona. An Amdavadi by birth, Nidhi was home recently taking a break from her gruelling work schedule in Mumbai. A student of St Kabir School and a graduate from Som Lalit, Nidhi misses Ahmedabad. “I celebrated Uttrayan here and went on a trip with my family to Vaishno Devi, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir. It feels great to be home — away from all work. I miss the festive fervour of Navratri a lot,” says Nidhi who is getting used to living in Mumbai — the city which never sleeps.
Now that her show’s gone off air, what exactly is she busy with? “Well, there are talks with a leading channel and I might be a part of a series of 13 episode-show — a fiction show which will include thrill, suspense and action. It will be directed by various Bollywood directors. I might work for Mahesh Manjrekar’s episodes,” she elaborates.
Nidhi who’s played important roles in a slew of shows (melodrama, romance and horror) feels she’s good at comedy too. “Apart from regular shows, I want to do comic cameos but not reality comedy shows. I would also love to try my hands at doing action,” shares Nidhi who’s also a yellow belt in karate.
For now though, Nidhi is “reading film scripts”, is in the process of “finalising” a film project, working on her telly soaps and taking quick breaks. Not necessarily in that order though!
