Actress

I used to do theatre in school and college. When I started working on television, only the camera was new. Theatre experience really helps one lose inhibitions.

We actors are fortunate people, getting paid to do what we love - it's like getting paid to eat cake! There isn't much to complain about. In fact, on the days I have an off, I'm constantly telling my friends how I want to be on the sets because I miss it already.

I visited an asylum to observe expressions of the mentally disturbed and to get my body language right for the blind girl's role. I visited the blind school, read the autobiography of Helen Keller, and watched a number of films from 'Scent of a Woman' to 'Anurag,' 'Fanaa' and 'Black.'

I perform a role as per the requirements of the script. When it comes to work, I don't have any personal choice with regards to glam or de-glam. As an actor, I enjoy doing everything.

It's fun to play a character that you can identify with.

My audition for 'Dhoom Machale Dhoom' was the turning point of my life.

I am immensely proud of 'Kumkum Bhagya.'

I am comfortable in all kinds of outfits. I prefer Indian wear, but there are days I step out in a short dress. It depends on my mood.

I think I love fiction shows more than the reality shows. I have been offered many shows, but I don't think I am tailored for reality TV.

I enjoy doing TV than movies. I do enjoy watching music reality shows but never get approached to participate in reality shows. I also enjoy reading books and take time to finish them.

There's generally a couple of months' gap between shows. And I am rather glad it's been that way because I am a workaholic.

I don't regret my decision that I left a popular show like 'Balika Vadhu.' I am happy that I am out of the show and took a break for a month in Delhi.

While I'm totally up for all things girly, two months of mehendi is a fairly long time!

The only thing that I have to be assured of is that the character must be negative for a sensible reason. She should not be behind everyone's life just for fun, which is the case in many serials. Moreover, it will also test my potential as an actor, so playing a negative character would be an interesting challenge for me.

I really don't have any struggle story to tell about my stint in Tellytown.

'Balika Vadhu' happened to me because I worked hard in my earlier shows. So, in a way, they are responsible for building my identity.

I loved the story telling pattern of 'Balika Vadhu.'
