Dance is a universal language which allows you to express yourself without words and I think that is why everyone is so enamoured by dance.
— Sanjeeda Sheikh
Piya Ka Ghar'... is one of the best shows I have been associated with.
I am bubbly and talkative in real life.
I had done a brilliant project with Shoojit Sircar, 'Shoebite,' but it never released.
I never had any problem with my producers or directors.
I would rather be an A-lister on TV than do B- or C-grade movies.
Me and Aamir are like friends. We understand each other so well and it's easier I think as we have same profession.
I think the audience expect me to be on saas-bahu dramas - such shows attract me also.
For me, a good role, and not the length, is important.
Success and failure are temporary in TV.
Aamir was not that good a boyfriend; he is a better husband.
I am basically from Ahmadabad in Gujarat.
Actors should be judged on how they look on screen, and not on the basis of the age of their characters.
I think taking a gap after a long-running show is a must.
Television made me who I am.
I wasn't expecting a proposal from Aamir that night, especially when he had waited long hours for my shoot to get over and I too was drained after giving back-to-back scenes that involved portraying a lot of mental traumas and crying. As I came out of my shot, he stood in front of me, went down on his knees and proposed marriage.
Marriage will be happy and blissful if you understand and support each other well.
I am present on Facebook but I am not that active.
Saas-bahu will always work on television, one can never go wrong there.
Doing a daily show with Aamir will not make me miss Aamir. So no daily soaps with my husband.
I think if you understand your role, comedy won't create any tragedy.
I am absolutely at ease working in a comedy.
I am not too keen to do movies, as I don't have time to waste on struggling for a role in a film.
It is good to have your partner in the same profession because the understanding is great.
Acting is acting, be it any medium.
When I am getting to do good work on TV, why not concentrate on that? Why think about what films I can do?
I've seen new actresses do one show and disappear or struggle for years to get their next break. I've been fortunate enough to have four shows back-to-back as lead.
I personally am happy doing a finite series as I can't play a single character for three years. Hats off to the actors who stay in a character for three four years and enjoy every moment of their character.
Being an actor, you have to be versatile, and open to all kinds of roles, be it positive or one with grey shades.
People love my spunk and the energy I bring into my roles.
The digital platform has its own viewership, but we have a lot of people who still watch saas-bahu shows. That is not going to change.
I want to be choosy, because one has to invest a lot of time in TV shows.
DDLJ' - it's an out an out love story and one can relate to it. It's one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Understanding between a couple is the most important thing, rest everything follows.
If I weren't an actor today, I would have been a choreographer for sure.
When they say 'action' I transform into a reserved person and as soon as they say 'cut' I am Sanjeeda.
But I don't think TV will face any threats from web series. Every medium has it's own audience.
I am a professional and maintain good rapport with all my producers, directors and co-artists.
EHT' did wonders for my career. Earlier, people knew me mostly for my dancing abilities, but this show made them take notice of my acting capabilities as well.
I am clear about what I want from life.
I keep a track on everything that is happening on TV.
Working with Amitabh Bachchan and Sarika has been one of the best experiences of my life.
I don't want my shows to run for more than a year as you get bored doing the same role. But you don't want your show to end in three months either.
I'm upset that 'Dastaan' is ending. After working so hard, to see it end abruptly is painful.
I have never sat in a Metro in Delhi and Mumbai, but one day I would love to travel in the metro in Lucknow.
It is very important for actors to maintain a variety in their body of work.
There is a bit of myself in all the characters I play.
I felt people wouldn't be enticed by the web, but I was wrong. I too don't watch TV anymore, and only watch digital shows.
Aamir and I are still boyfriend-girlfriend. The other day we were discussing how we don't feel like husband-wife; however, the only thing that has changed after my wedding is that I get to meet my guy every day.
Love is out of this world feeling; nothing is as pure as love.
