guest61 :Hi Iam a fan of your smile... What is the secret behind it?
rucha_gujarati: Thank you so much... It's great to know that you like my show and my smile. As for my smile I guess you should ask my mom, as it is more genetic.

tweetyyy: Hey Rucha how are you?
rucha_gujarati: Hey hi Tweety, thank you so much. I am fine how about you?

guest65: Why did you leave Balaji camp?
rucha_gujarati: Because Kkusum got over gracefully, so had to leave. But I didn't leave the Balaji camp.

guest81: What is the meaning of your name?
rucha_gujarati: In Mahabharatha, there is this concept of seven shloks, which is called Rucha. Now please don't ask me about the seven shloks.

guest61: Hi Rucha, tell me do you prefer to act as Kali or Suhana?
rucha_gujarati: Both of them are equally special to me. Can't differentiate between the two.

guest71: Who is your favourite actor?
rucha_gujarati: In Bollywood its Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh. In Hollywood its Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

guest81: Hi Rucha, you are really pretty. Were you into modelling befor you came into television?
rucha_gujarati: Yeah I did a few ad's for Livon, Frooti, Royal Stag and Himami Cream. And a few albums with Pankaj Udhas as well.. Then the auditions for Kkusum happened and Ekta really liked me for this role of Kali.

guest69: Where were you born?
rucha_gujarati: I was born and brought up in Mumbai.

guest71: Did you always wanted to be an actress?
rucha_gujarati: My dad is a doctor so I did a paramediacal course... Was about to follow my dad when this auditions happened. A complete 360 degree turn for me.

guest65: What is the one role you would like to act in, for which you can kill anyone?
rucha_gujarati: Real solid question... Want to play Rani Mukherjee's role in Black and why would I kill anyone for this? Would kill myself if I don't get to play such a role!

guest89: Which is your favourite holiday destination?
rucha_gujarati: My home sweet home!

guest89: Rucha are you single or you are seeing someone? If yes, then many people's heart will be broken.
rucha_gujarati: I am single and very much concentrating on my work now. Work is my top priority.

guest71: Are you planning to act in movies?
rucha_gujarati: Yeah, its the next step in life. But I am being a bit selective about the role that I would take... Also the problem with dates.

guest69: Hi Rucha, tell me your pick - Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Karan Johar?
rucha_gujarati: Oh my God! What a tricky question... I like both of them. But given to choose just one, then I would go for Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

guest97: As your name suggests are you a Gujrati?
rucha_gujarati: I am a Gujarati and a Vaishnav.

guest86: Whom you like the most in Babhi?
rucha_gujarati: Dev Prashal Singh. He is a good actor and I think the chemistry shows very well on screen.

guest92: I love the way you look in Kkusum... Just loved it.
rucha_gujarati: Thank you so much!

guest86: If you are asked to describe yourself in one word, what would be your answer?
rucha_gujarati: Transparent.

guest92: From Medical Lab Technology to Media, how do you find it?
rucha_gujarati: Different world all together... I like Media because acting was my passion, is my passion and will be my passion always!

hashu: How is it behind the scenes in Bhabhi serial?
rucha_gujarati: We are all professionals behind the scenes as well, as it is a daily soap so we are all on tight shoot schedules. So it is all work and no play.

guest69: Hi Rucha, given a choice you would love to direct Shah Rukh Khan or Amitabh?
rucha_gujarati: Hmmm... I am confused. Would rather take both of them and make a movie!

guest97: Have you done any course in acting or is it spontaneous to you?
rucha_gujarati: According to me, acting should be more spontaneous and must come naturally. It cannot be learnt from any course alone.

guest65: How different is it acting in Babhi compared to Kkusum?
rucha_gujarati: In Kkusum I did a grey shade role and there is a huge difference between Suhaana and Kali.

guest97: How do you rate your self as an actor?
rucha_gujarati: I am not supposed to rate myself. Would like to know how you would rate me as an actor.

guest92: What has been the response from the public when they encounter you in real life?
rucha_gujarati: When I went to Chandigarh, a group of fans came upto me and said, "You look so young in real than on Bhabhi... How do you manage to play such a mature role in Bhabhi?"

guest86: Something special in Babhi, which you would like to share with us?
rucha_gujarati:Once there was a scene where I had to slap Rishika. There was a couple of wide angle shots where I slapped her and then a couple of close shots where I slapped her again and then the director tried to play a prank on us and he asked us to repeat it twice again when the camera was not rolling at all.

hashu: if you could switch roles with another actress, which one would that be?
rucha_gujarati: I am here to have my own identity and would not like to swap roles with any other actress. I consider it totally unethical.

guest69: Hi Rucha, any one thing of yours that you want to change?
rucha_gujarati: My anger. It's a little too much... Would like to control my temper levels at times.

guest69: Hi Rucha any one thing that small screen have, but not the big screen?
rucha_gujarati: The small screen is a day-to-day exposure while the films are a three-hour affair!

guest92: Which other K serials you watch?
rucha_gujarati: I hardly get time to watch my own serials, so how can I watch any other serials.

guest97: What is the one thing, which hasn't changed in your life from childhood?

guest97: How do you manage such hectic shooting schedule? Apart from Bhabhi, which other serial you are working on?
rucha_gujarati: Right now it's just Bhabhi. I love my job and I am passionate about it. I enjoy being there and working. Don't see it as hectic.
