New Delhi, Oct 13: Tunvy Gogia may have tied the knot when she was only 21 to restaurateur Sameer Gogia but that didn’t change the course of her life. The spunky TV anchor of two big shows now wants to do a clean crossover film.
Tunvy hosts the NDTV breakfast show, Tango, and the weekly Top Drive on Star World. “I’m not cut out for saas-bahu serials nor can I deal with sleazy filmmakers. I’ll wait for a good break that doesn’t require skin show,” she says.
A Carmel Convent School product who completed her graduation in commerce from Venketeshwara College, Tunvy moved from DD Bharati’s show, Meri Baat, to a better paying Star World. “Meri Baat was my learning ground but 120 episodes later it was time to move on,” she says.
At one point she desperately wanted to have a child but it wasn’t happening. “Now when I look back, I’m glad. I can concentrate on my career, and I know children will eventually happen. Sameer is my biggest critic. He gives me genuine advice.”
One of TV’s best-dressed anchors, Tunvy selects her wardrobe from around the world. “I like Topshop and Expensive in UK, besides Mango and Zara. It’s about how well you put it all together,” she says.
Dressed in a Mango outfit she bought from Amsterdam, Tunvy adds that she also loves live shows for the immediate reaction they elicit.
Of course, being a restaurateur’s wife (Sameer runs the Red Coral on Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road) she loves food: “I like Italian and Thai cuisine.”
She has done theatre with Roshan Abbas and also wrote plays in college. “I scripted a play in college about women, about how they overcome problems of dowry and abusive husbands to emerge successful,” she says.
Daughter of General NPS Bal, Tunvy believes her disciplined childhood helped her. “Dad always told me and my brother to be honest and give your 100 per cent. These are things that have stayed with me. In the glamour world I’m here to take my chances,” she concludes.
