Having lassi and pyaaz ki kachori tops Mihika’s to-do list in Jaipur

Soon after model-turned-actress Mihika Verma, currently playing Mihika Iyer in 'Yeh Hai Mohabattein', was done with promoting her show in Jaipur, she rushed to get her dose of Jaipur’s spicy food and knick-knacks.
This was her second visit to Pink City, but the actress had heard a lot about the city and its charm.
“My brother Mishkat is also an actor, and he has shot here so he knows a lot about the city.Like an expert guide he gave me names of a few shops and eateries where I will be visiting for sure. Having lassi and pyaaz ki kachori tops my to-do list. I live to eat and never think about putting on weight. Thanks to my body type and high metabolism that allows me to eat like a horse, I still don’t gain weight. I would like to go for silver jhumka shopping as well, since I have a fetish for jewellery, especially jhumke,” she said.

Mihika, who is also a former Miss India, said, “I was hardly 17 then and like any other young girl was not sure of what I wanted to do in life. My father wanted me to join his business while my mother wanted to me to prepare for IAS. While I was wavering between the two choices, Miss India happened to me. I was trained and groomed and finally I won the Miss India International title in 2004 and represented our country at the international pageant held in China.”
She then went on to act in daily soaps such as 'Kitni Mohabbat Hai', 'Kis Desh Me Hai Mera Dil' and 'Yeh Hai Aashiqui', before being cast in 'Yeh Hai Mohabattein'.
She added, “Though I never thought of becoming an actor, the world of television and cinema was not new to me and I never felt like an outsider. My grandfather was a famous producer and his production house gave some super hit films in the 50s, like 'Patanga' and 'Main Nashe Mein Hoon'. But while I was busy exploring my potential as a model, walking the ramp for big designers, I got my first role for the television show 'Viruddh'.”
On playing negative shades in most of her shows, Mihika said, “Perhaps my sharp features and tall, thin body type fits more into negative roles. But I always wanted to play positive roles, so I am really thankful that 'Yeh Hai Mohabattein' gave me an image break.”
