I was going through a very bad phase when 'Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi... ' happened. I was just not getting any work.
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 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.
There is a constant projection of stereotypes and 'saas-bahu' sagas that keep getting popular as opposed to some experimental storylines.
Saas-bahu will always work on television, one can never go wrong there.
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.
If anything, 'Kyunki Saas' is impossible without Ekta Kapoor.
I can't do saas-bahu sagas.
I think I have done my share of the saas-bahu dramas.
I don't like doing regressive saas-bahu shows on television.
The plot is very important because writers have to play fair with their readers, but no one would care about the plot if the character work wasn't there. So, basically every book I work on starts with me thinking not just about the bad thing that's going to happen, but how that bad thing is going to ripple through the community, the family of the victim, and the lives of the investigators. I am keenly aware when I'm working that the crimes I am writing about have happened to real people. I take that very seriously.
I was tired of the same saas-bahu family dramas that I was being offered, so I took a long break.
'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali' is a film with a very different approach and we are sure the audience will love to see Salman in the avatar we have planned.
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.
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.
