Actress

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

I have just been lucky to get challenging characters every time.

I have been fortunate to have worked with immensely talented writers and directors who have had faith in me. There's been very little hard work but a lot of learning. I have learnt from each of my characters, and I think that's rather amazing.

Besides Hindi and English, I can speak in Maithli, my native language, and in Bangla and Nepalese too. But I can just about make a smattering at Marathi.

Ever since I was introduced to Ekta Kapoor, I have learnt a great deal from her storytelling, and the learning continues.

I don't think I'm popular enough for audience to relate to me on a reality shows. I'm content with my acting endeavors and want to continue taking up more of acting projects.

I went back to Kolkata around two years back after a gap of 14 years, and though the city had changed, the people hadn't. Everybody is cultured and knowledgeable there. I have emotional memories of the place.

I've been missing playing Pragya ever since I started shooting as Munni. I hope viewers will be happy to see their favourite character Pragya back on 'Kumkum Bhagya' and will welcome me back with the same love they have been showering all this time.

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.

Emotions never become obsolete, whether they are towards your family or your boyfriend.

Never say never. When love happens, it just happens. The industry is full of nice people, and there are no rights and wrongs.

If something interesting comes up, I would love to do something in Bangla in future, especially since I can speak Bangali fluently.

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.

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

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

We breathe life into a role, and it's overwhelming to receive positive feedback.

Never say never. When love happens, it just happens. The industry is full of nice people, and there are no rights and wrongs.

Reading and watching movies are the only two things I do. I'm moody, so at times I'm annoyingly introverted; at other times I'm annoyingly extroverted. So I think I'm an ambivert!

Love is a lot of magic and madness followed by marriage. These are the three M's for me. I think these three keep life intact. I am a very filmi person and would like the magic and the madness to remain in my marriage forever.
