"I am not really sexy, I am cute," giggles this Chandigarh-bred, Mumbai-based girl. In her first show, Kahiin to Hoga, Surveen Chawla wore very short dresses and tight kurtas unlike the other women around her.
It got her noticed, and also got her the lead role in Sony TV's Kaajjal, where she plays a small-town girl who comes to Mumbai in search of a career. "I did the same three years ago. It's a big high to have all the attention focused on you and to be in almost every frame."
Though back in salwar kameezes for the serial, Surveen says she loves dressing in tight jeans and tees. "But I do not have a style statement. It's anything I look good in. I like to dress according to the occasion and my mood. I am not too fussy."
She gets bored easily and television can get quite monotonous, "but right now I am enjoying doing the lead role." Surveen likes to play characters who are spunky and do not toe the line.
