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.
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.'
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.
I think the audience expect me to be on saas-bahu dramas - such shows attract me also.
I can't do saas-bahu sagas.
In a fantasy show, you can't be random with creative ideas. So that is a drawback for our industry. Since it is daily, with fantasy shows, you need to stick to the script. If you don't, it will become saas-bahu show.
I think I have done my share of the saas-bahu dramas.
I was tired of the same saas-bahu family dramas that I was being offered, so I took a long break.
There is a constant projection of stereotypes and 'saas-bahu' sagas that keep getting popular as opposed to some experimental storylines.
There is more to life than saas bahu issues with women being portrayed as petty characters and their own worst enemies.
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.
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 was going through a very bad phase when 'Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi... ' happened. I was just not getting any work.
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.
