CHANDIGARH | THURSDAY | 25 JULY 2024 Punjabi actress Sara Gurpal, who was in Mohali for an event, says it’s a challenge to jump from one language to another in various projects Cinderella vibes Sheetal P UNJABI actress Sara Gurpal was dressed in a powder blue dress, which gave ‘English princess vibes’ at the new store launch of Giani’s icecream parlour in Mohali on Wednesday. In a candid chat with us, she touched upon various subjects — right from her career plans to thoughts on dieting to perfect outing in Chandigarh to her idea of fashion! For the launch event, she chose something ‘Cinderella’ because she thought it would go with the ice-cream theme. “When I think of ice-cream, I associate it with fairy tales and hope that children would vouch for that.” She personally picked LaceMade London powder blue dress which she accessorised with Roberto Cavalli wrap-around analog watch and Zara shoes. About her fashion mantra, she said, “I believe in dressing according to the occasion. Many followers would say that you don’t wear a saree. But I can’t wear a saree on a beach! I always add a personal touch to my public appearances, depending upon the event I am heading to.” Sara, who studied fashion designing in Chandigarh, also runs her online clothing store called ‘The Sara Shop’. She has plans to come up with other self-run businesses such as a ‘makeup line or something to do with pets’. She is currently working in Amazon Prime Video series, Changez, c m y b ❝ For me, dieting is about differentiating between healthy and unhealthy food. Also, I think one should indulge in guilty pleasures too but in moderation — be it junk food, fried stuff or desserts. PHOTOS: VICKY which is in Hindi. Another Punjabi film, Gurmukh — The Eyewitness, opposite Kuljinder Singh Sandhu, will be released around November 15. She shared, “I think it’s the best work from my side till date. It’s a story of a rape victim and an eyewitness of that incident. As for the Prime Video series, I am shooting for the second schedule. There’s also an EP coming as I have keen interest in singing also.” To associate with a brand is one thing, but to promote and vouch for it is another. Sara explained, “Today itself I was shooting for a hair brand. I am doing it because I use that brand’s shampoo and actually found it beneficial. So, I would always be genuine and authentic when becoming a face of the brand.” Having worked in many regional projects from different parts of India, Sara shared, “It’s easier to pick a lehza like Haryanvi and others, but, of course, it is a challenge to jump from one language to another while working on acting projects.” To beat the summer, mango and coconut are her favourite choices. About an innovative dessert that she makes for herself, Sara said, “I think I am very ‘vanilla’ in my choices. So, my personal favourite DIY dessert is mixing raw mango chunks with vanilla ice-cream and grating plenty of coconut over it.” This 90s kid also recollected her childhood when one could afford two matka kulfis for very less money. “Those were the days. I have had a humble background and lived in a village, and a rehriwalah would roam in summer to sell desi ice-cream. But during the changing seasons, we were strictly told not to have it.” ❝ I think Gurmukh — The Eyewitness, my upcoming Punjabi film, is the best role I have essayed till date. It’s the story of a rape victim and an eyewitness of that incident.
