While excelling at VJing and anchoring comes naturally to Teejay Sidhu, she claims she's been "apprehensive" about acting.
Says Teejay, who was in Gujarat along with hubby Karanvir Bohra to shoot for the Punjabi film Love You Soniye, "Whether it's VJ-ing or anchoring, I know I can do it well. But I was scared of trying my hands at acting, although Karanvir had been insisting on it for a while. But now, I am ready and the fact that I am starring opposite my husband feels great. We are also producing this film. I feel the market for regional cinema hasn't been tapped to the fullest and I convinced Karanvir that we should produce a Punjabi movie. I am not interested in Bollywood and will be happy if I can become a big name in Punjabi cinema."
Talking about her equation with Karanvir, Teejay laughs, "At home, I am the boss. But on the sets, he is the boss because he is more experienced than me as an actor. Usually, if both people in a relationship are celebrities, men tend to get insecure. But Karanvir genuinely wants me to be more successful than him!"
Interestingly, Teejay also happens to be one of the youngest members of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Asked about her experiences, Teejay says, "I feel honoured to be a part of such a prestigious body, but I feel that there are certain things that need to change. Of late, people are finding the most trivial reasons to start protesting against a film! It's important to remember that the world has changed now and so, films are bound to follow the suit! We need to change our sensibilities. Today's youth is an aware lot and you can't have Victorian sensibilities to decide what they should watch!"
