Take 5: TV actor Shakti Arora in conversation with Deccan Chronicle

In a rapid-fire session, actor Shakti Arora of Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi gives us a slice of his life off screen.

Which was the last movie you enjoyed?
Tanu Weds Manu Returns. I loved the character Kusum Kumari Sangwan in the film.

What is your comfort food?
Jeera rice with dal fry and masala papad.

Please share with us one quirky habit of yours…
I keep sucking on the straw even when the glass of juice is empty. I know it isn’t a habit to be proud of, but I love it. While doing it, I always pray that no one is looking at me!

What do you have to say to fans who are annoyed that Ishani-Ranveer (from Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi) are apart?
They will get a breather soon.

Which is your favourite Ishani-Ranveer scene and why?
I love the romantic scenes. When we have to express even without dialogues, a lot of scenes depend only on our eyes. I believe there is a lot of chemistry. I love those scenes.
