TV and film actress Niki Walia has given us many memorable performances in shows like Sea Hawks, Astitva...Ek Prem Kahaani, Ghar Ek Sapnaa to name a few. She has turned into a Punjaban for the first time for the web show, Never Kiss Your Best Friend! We have always seen her in a very svelte avatar on screen donning fashionable clothes. However, she decided to thoroughly invest in the role of a Punjabi mother in the UK. She says, "The story and the vision of the director required that I gain weight and I did consciously put on some weight for the role as for me it's important to truly fit into the character. Instead of the typical Punjabi suits which highlight one’s body, I told my stylist to make sure to give me lose tops over jeans."

At this stage of her career, she only wants to experiment. She says, "What's the fun in doing the same thing over and over again! I want to have no regrets and say, hey I also tried this! And yes when at it, I will give it my best! Looking the part is the most important aspect of being an actor for me! Half your job is done there and then kick in your talent and dedication towards the craft!"
