Headline : "Vicky is a better actor than me" - Ankita Lokhande on winning Smart Jodi.

1. Tell us about Smart Jodi with your husband?

We recently got married and then got this opportunity, so we decided to do it as it will be a lot of fun. It was my first re ality show, and I won, so my husband, Vicky, is truly lucky for me.

It changed us a lot in a good way, and we learned a lot while doing the show. Smart Jodi, I believe, was a good opportunity for our new beginning. And the bonus was that we got to spend a lot of time together.

2. In the show, you guys were doing good stunts. Would you let us on this secret?

I and Vicky have a healthy competitive streak even between each other which I believe helps us to grow.

Many physical tasks were difficult, but it was enjoyable. The best part is that we have excellent communication, and I believe partners must be honest and vocal with one another.

3. You always maintained that you and Vicky were good friends, so when did you realize your true feelings about him and wanted to settle down?

We've always been like friends and Arjun Bijlani was our common friend. It all started with the friendship and eventually exchanged our feelings.

We just felt this connection between us while having conversations and after a while, we decided to take it ahead.

4. What did you get to know about your husband through the show?

I honestly thought Vicky will be conscious while coming on-screen but through the show, I got to know that he is very camera-friendly and an even better actor than me.

I always wanted a guy who had the same energy as me which he surely does. I am very happy that he is in my life and the thing I got to know is that he is an even bigger dramebaaz than me.

5. In the show, you were very competitive, but so were the couples of Arjun and Neha and Himalay-Bhagyashree respectively. Though you have won the show, hypothetically If you had to judge, whom would you say was as good as you?

I thought all of the couples were excellent. Everybody has their own thing, such as Himalaya sir and Bhagyashree mam, who were so good.

I have seen them perform and the level of communication they have with each other is commendable. Even we can't compete in that.

6. After Pavitra Rishtra, you became a big sensation, so why haven't we seen you on Television much?

Every acting has a level and you need to grow as an actor. I am a very patient person and don't like to rush into anything. It is always better to do quality work of acting than that of quantity.

I believe I am an entertainer, a good actor, and also a good dancer. It's my right to explore opportunities and give variety to my audiences.

7. What are your plans after Smart Jodi, any particular project you're focusing on?

Life is not just about work. It's all about the balance between your personal and professional life. I am happy for the fact that I got to do something with Vicky on a professional front.

And as you know, I have bought a new house and in-between shifting process. I am looking forward to something that is new to be explored.
