I think the audience expect me to be on saas-bahu dramas - such shows attract me also.
I was tired of the same saas-bahu family dramas that I was being offered, so I took a long break.
I can't do saas-bahu sagas.
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.
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 like doing regressive saas-bahu shows on television.
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.
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.
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.'
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.
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.
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 I'm interested in these kinds of character dramas, psychological dramas, domestic dramas, whatever you want to call them - comedy dramas.
