I cannot stand watching daily soaps that have a lot of rona-dhona and unrealistic drama in them.
Audiences like me doing action and comedy. I am a jovial person and have been so from childhood. I like to laugh my way through my work, and that attitude reflects in my roles. Even women hate me doing rona-dhona roles. So I don't do emotional films.
I enjoy it all: performIng, doing TV, movies, comedy, drama, stand-up, animation voicework, singing, but you get that instant gratification from stand-up because it's your own commentary and you get to see the reaction from the audience that's right there in front of you. I also love coming up with characters and watching people embrace them and enjoy them.
Doing a daily show with Aamir will not make me miss Aamir. So no daily soaps with my husband.
I think audiences were somewhere fed up with watching the same Saas-Bahu soaps all the time. I've been part of one of them.
I don't see myself doing daily soaps.
I do not see myself doing daily TV soaps!
Daily soaps are unpredictable, and one can't predict when the track changes.
I needed a break from the breakneck speed of daily soaps.
I'm not that keen to do a daily soap, but I'm always ready for reality soaps.
Soaps have a schedule where you have to be done in 15 minutes. With an hour show, there's no way to get off schedule. On a movie, it's a lot easier to go back and reshoot scenes. I wasn't used to that at all... taking the time to really make each scene as good as it can be, which you can't do on soaps.
I didn't even watch the soaps when I was in them because it's like a coal miner coming home and staring at the coal scuttle - I was never a great lover of watching myself act.
I was offered daily soaps in the past but that was something I did not want to take up.
We cannot possibly take them all into this country [asylum seekers] - it is a completely unrealistic expectation.
Films are fun, and I want to do comic roles. Daily soaps are interesting, too, but the travel to and from the sets takes a toll.
A theory's assumptions always are and ought to be unrealistic. Further, we should attempt to make them more unrealistic in order to increase a theory's fruitfulness.
I have acted in over 50 films and 15 daily soaps, but the thrill I feel while performing for my home audience is unparalleled.
