Daljit Kaur made her debut on television with Sony's 'Kulvadhu'. The show may not have gone in the direction the makers intended, but Daljit has left an impression the viewers.

She is now back with a role as Iqbal Khan's love interest, in 'Choona Hain Aasman', on STAR One. Co-incidentally, Daljit comes from an Army background.

Q. You have shot 32 episodes for 'Choona Hain Aasman'. How was the journey?
A. I was not there from the beginning, and was in fact, recently introduced into the show. However, I kept a track of the show, and it feels good to know that 32 episodes have been completed. We have been getting good response.

Q. 'Choona Hain Aasman' is a defence-oriented serial. Did you have any apprehensions before signing up for the show?
A. My father is a retired Colonel, and my sisters are both Captains. My real life has been associated with the Army and defence forces. I was very excited when I was offered the show, because it is different, from 'Kulvadhu' and other saas-bahu serials that I have done. It is satisfying.

Q. How much difference do you see between the real Air Force and the serial?
A. Miditech has done a good job with the research on uniforms, the walking, the attitude – the feel is close to life at the Air Force. Other than that, it cannot just like the Air Force, because portraying the same is difficult. My father does point out a few mistakes, but I think we have done a commendable job, and the show is running successfully. That says a lot.

Q. Have you ever thought of films?
A. Honestly, when I was doing 'Kulvadhu', the amount of publicity I got was more than I would have received in films. Television has the best of everything – make-up, costumes, glamour. The viewership is high, and we are getting good TRPs. I am happy doing television.

Q. What are the other projects that you are working on?
A. I am doing 'Saantan' on STAR Plus, where I play Suhaana. I was a part of 'Sirf Stories', recently launched on Sony SAB.

Q. Tell us about your character in 'Choona Hain Aasman'.
A. I play Shikha, who is involved with Abhimanyu, played by Iqbal Khan. With the entry of my character, an element of romance comes into the serial, which, so far, concentrated on the Air Force.

Q. You come from a defence background. How did acting happen?
A. I had participated in a few beauty pageants, and I was the runner-up in both Miss Navy and Miss Maharashtra. I was a finalist in Miss Mumbai. Then somebody told me about the auditions for 'CID', on Sony. The rest if history.
