A banter with Prachi Desai, Arunima Sharma and Roshni Chopra, who play sisters Bani, Rano and Pia respectively in Zee's 'Kasamh Se'

How did 'Kasamh Se' come your way?

Prachi:
I was studying in Pune where I also attended a modelling workshop. I learnt about the Balaji auditions and came to Mumbai for it. I was extremely lucky to have been selected.

Arunima:
I came to Mumbai for studies. After my post-graduation, I was looking for a job. When I did not get a satisfying one I thought of giving acting a try. I did a few episodes of 'Remix' before the Balaji auditions took place and here I am.

Roshni:
I have been hosting 'Cinemascope' on Zee Music. I was waiting for something worthwhile to happen when the Balaji auditions came up. I was lucky to have got selected.

How similar are you to the characters you play?

Prachi:
Here I play the eldest sister whereas I am the youngest at home; otherwise I am a lot like Bani. I am as emotional and value relationships above anything else.

Arunima:
I am not at all similar to Rano. Rano is studious, while I am not all that serious. I think Rano is a hard-line character because she bottles up her emotions which make her rude and angry. I am more chilled-out and express my feelings easily.

Roshni:
I am unlike my character. I value love more than anything else whereas Pia thinks money is all- important. She is an attention-seeker whereas I am an introverted person.

What makes 'Kasamh Se' different from the rest?

Prachi:
It has a fresh look and feel. The cast comprises of new faces but the approach is very sensitive and they are all women of substance.

Arunima:
It deals with different shades of womanhood. Each character has been etched with fineness and grace. This will vow the audiences definitely.

Roshni:
It spotlights the journey of three young girls who mature into women. The show starts with a major crisis happening in their lives. This is bound to win the sympathy of the audiences.
