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.
I don't like doing regressive saas-bahu shows on television.
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.'
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.
We have a group also on WhatsApp with our 'Char Divas Sasuche' team. I never realized that it ran for 13 years but the credit goes to the production house, the crew, and cast. People get bored easily with normal saas-bahu serials but it didn't happen to us.
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.
I can't do saas-bahu sagas.
There is more to life than saas bahu issues with women being portrayed as petty characters and their own worst enemies.
I think I have done my share of the saas-bahu dramas.
I hate reality shows. It's funny because me and my wife be arguing all the time about reality shows 'cause she loves reality shows and watches them all day, all the time. And I be like, 'C'mon. No. No.'
Doing a daily show with Aamir will not make me miss Aamir. So no daily soaps with my husband.
I don't think I have the power to do more mythological shows, but I would love to if it's like a finite series. But doing that as a daily soap is not easy.
I hate a messy kitchen and my more casual husband has come to recognize it's more pleasant for him to clean up after himself rather than deal with me hating a messy kitchen.
Saas-bahu will always work on television, one can never go wrong there.
