Avika Gor wants to work as Priyadarshan`s assitant

Mumbai: TV actress Avika Gor, who became popular for her role as Anandi in "Balika Vadhu", was so impressed with director Priyadarshan during the shooting of "Tezz" that she now wants to become his assistant.

"I have always admired Priyadarshan as a director and Anil Kapoor as an actor. Priyadarshan is a well-known director and I shot for around six days with him and it was really an eye opener. I am now thinking of turning an assistant director to Priyadarshan," said Avika in a statement. Earlier, she was seen in Shahid Kapoor starrer "Paathshala". "Tezz" also stars Ajay Devgn, Kangana Ranaut and Sameera Reddy. It releases April 27. "The entire experience of working in `Tezz` was wonderful. The entire unit was sweet to me. I also met Sonam Kapoor, who appreciated me as an actor. It feels good to be appreciated by actresses like Sonam. I also had few scenes with Boman Irani and Mohanlal, which taught me a lot," she said. IANS
