Interview: Dilshad Vadsaria from Greek
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Dilshad Vadsaria to talk about the new season of Greek on ABC family. Here's what she had to say:
How was your time at the University of Delaware different from Cyprus-Rhodes?
D. Vadsaria: Very different. I'm not sure if you know, but I used to be a bio major at the University of Delaware, so I was very pre-med-oriented and everything like that, so my life was really about the classroom and it was really about lab work, all the extra labs you kind of have to take with each class. And I was working, like, trying to earn some money and everything like that. Rebecca lived a very different life, so—
You weren't like a socialite, I guess.
D. Vadsaria: Well, I had great friends and we definitely had time to do all the great party college stuff, but I think that, in regards to the character that I'm playing on the show, it's a very, very different life. Rebecca doesn't have as many friends because she can't really trust people. She comes from a lot of money. She has her own jet, those kinds of things, and so it's almost like I'm reliving college to a completely different person who's walked a completely different walk of life, you know what I mean?
That's kind of cool. Actually, that was my next question. What do you think Rebecca's strongest trait is? Like, let's say she didn't have a senator father and wasn't popular. What else does she have going for her?
D. Vadsaria: Well, I think that she's very shrewd in regards to reading people, and she kind of sees things coming. She's not a girl who doesn't have a mind of her own, and I think there are a couple of things that I really, really like about her in that she's very steadfast in what she believes, whether she's right or wrong, you know? And she's very open about it. She doesn't really hide behind anything. This is where she stands, and that's just the way it is. Whether she's liked or not, that's a whole different story, you know? And I really like that about her, and also, just the way that she can kind of play the politics socially with people and know that they have ulterior motives. I think that's kind of, I don't know. It's a trait that I don't really know a lot of people to have, especially so early on in their life. I think that's kind of cool actually. It kind of helps you.
Right on. Do you think Cappie is too good for Rebecca, or is he too good for his own good?
D. Vadsaria: That's a good question. I think that, well, see, it's kind of hard to answer that question without giving some things away for season two, but what I'll say is that I think that they each have strengths that they bring to the other person, and their strengths and weaknesses kind of balance each other out. And I think that you'll kind of see that with the third episode—I think it's the third or fourth episode—of this season coming up, and in a way, Rebecca kind of matures Cappie in some senses and in some sense because of what's happening in her life, and in other ways, Cappie, he brings the fun in life. And he makes her see that maybe everything doesn't have to be so serious because she's grown up so serious, in such a serious way and everything, so I think they balance each other out.
Will you be having many scenes with Dale this season? I think that kid's hilarious.
D. Vadsaria: Oh my gosh, he's so funny. Clark is hilarious. Rebecca and Dale have not had any interaction yet, but I think that would be really, really funny to have. Personally, I don't know if I'll be able to keep a straight face if I ever get to do a scene with him because I've been there when he's shooting a scene, either with Jacob or whoever he has a scene with, and he's just hilarious. And I just don't know how that scene would go, and I would probably, you know, not be able to stop laughing. But that would be really, really cool to do some kind of storyline there.
