By Anil Merani| Simaran Kaur, last seen in ‘Agar Tum Na Hote’, has taken an acting detour by trying her hands at anchoring .” I recently hosted Pro Kabaddi League nine on Star Sports and India’s Best Resorts on Zee Zest and Zee 5.
“Hosting a sports show is fun and challenging. It opens the door for me to a vast new audience segment; even our family audience does tune into sports. This way, my fan base has also swelled up.”
“Hosting is impromptu; you dont get any scripts, just a broad outline.
You have to strike up a conversation and keep the audience entertained. We must learn everything about the game, the players and all the teams, as things keep changing today. One group might be on top; tomorrow, it might be down. I also have to do my homework about the previous eight seasons as I need to be more knowledgeable as every player has a journey. The entire unit was full of passion and thrilled about the game.”
I shot for it for three months, from Sept to Dec .I would love to present more sports as it has given me a new side to
This was followed by hosting India’s Best Resorts. I dont travel often, so I enjoyed it a lot. We checked out eight resorts nationwide, from Kashmir to Goa to the south. I got first-class treatment while working. I will never forget this experience, one of my best outings..”
My travel show has just ended its telecast stint.
As for acting, Simaran would love to get back to a daily show. “A romantic or thriller is my fav genre. I would love to try my hands at the dark concept we have seen courtesy of ott, so we know what it entails.” her other tv shows include Agniphera and Aghori. She also lent her voice to the character of Nobita in the Hungama cartoon series Doreaman
Apart from tv shows, Simaran has also acted in three music videos, “two of which were short overseas. A fourth is in the works. ” I love music and dance, so this is just what the doctor ordered .ends she.”
