I was going through a very bad phase when 'Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi... ' happened. I was just not getting any work.
I think I have done my share of the saas-bahu dramas.
I don't like doing regressive saas-bahu shows on television.
In days to come I would love to doing some more reality shows but the saas-bahu type daily soaps are a strict no for me as I hate serials based on kitchen politics.
Saas-bahu will always work on television, one can never go wrong there.
I was tired of the same saas-bahu family dramas that I was being offered, so I took a long break.
I would not want to be a part sass-bahu sagas. These are not realistic, and it gets tough for me to relate to my role.
The digital platform has its own viewership, but we have a lot of people who still watch saas-bahu shows. That is not going to change.
There is more to life than saas bahu issues with women being portrayed as petty characters and their own worst enemies.
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 think the audience expect me to be on saas-bahu dramas - such shows attract me also.
As a child, I used to tell my mother that one day I will come on TV for one of the Ekta Kapoor shows, like 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.'
I don't mind acting on TV if I have to play a mature, contemporary character. But I can't play a lehenga-clad lady in a saas-bahu serial.
After my debut in 2005, I had done almost 15 films till 2008, with 'Saas Bahu and Sensex' being the last. Hence, I thought it was time to slow down.
The whole saas-bahu drama is very cliched. I feel there's already too much of that on TV. So I was waiting for something like 'Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi.' The show offered a fresh and interesting plot.
