Caught in Dubai: Soap star Krystle in a lather over Karan Tacker

The UAE audience was completely bowled over as soap star Krystle D'souza set Dubai on fire with her performance.

Emirates 24ǀ7 caught up with Krystle to know more about her serial ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’.

The most common phenomenon in Indian soaps are sudden leaps where the lead's hair greys overnight. So why not 'EHMMBH'?

"None of us were for the idea of a leap. Production houses often do this to drag the serial as it often suits the essence of the show.

“Our serial has young people, romance and is typically a family drama. Hence, a leap would not agree with our serial," Krystle said.

"I am only 23-years old. Forget thinking about playing a grandmother, I would not like to pay the role of  mother as well.

"I have seen and heard of serials where the artist playing the role of the child is older than the one acting as the mother and I find that quite funny," she added.

Kyrstle plays the role of Jeevika in the serial and opposite her is Viren, aka Karan Tacker.

The duo have often been seen together when not on shoot.

"Working with Karan is very easy, we are close friends which makes it easy to work with him. We understand each other and compromise for each other whenever required. Moreover, Karan knows what he is doing," she says.

"There is nothing that I don't like about him. I look up to him and he is a superb friend,” she adds.

Well, she may have enjoyed performing with her favourite co-star in Dubai, but like every woman what she really loved was going on a shopping spree at the Dubai malls.
