Shaleen Bhanot:
Character you like the most from Ramayan: I love Ram as my very close friend Gurmeet Chaudhury plays Ram in NDTV Imagine's Ramayan.
If given a chance, which character you would want to portray on screen from Ramayan and why: I
will not play any character because I think to play such a character we
need to be so pure and in this Kalyug no one is so pure to play such a
role. Each and every character in Ramayan is very difficult to play and
has a lot of responsibilities.
Your plans for Dussehra this year: It's
going to be a working day for me. But I have been performing puja daily
for all these 9 days and have been observing a fast too.

'I am back, but this is not my comeback'
I am back, but this is not my comeback. Everyone is doing television, so why not me? I have been a dancer all my life but this is the first time that I will be judging others on their dancing skills. People used to judge me until now but now, I will be judging them.

'I am going to be encouraging and fair'
Well, I shouldn't be taking names here but I think Sachinji and his wife Supriyaji danced very well. The way they performed at their age is really commendable. This time too we have some very interesting couples.

'There will be no walkouts or temper tantrums on Nach Baliye'
I do not believe in herd mentality. Yes, there are numerous shows mushrooming, but if a reality show had come to me earlier, I wouldn't have considered it. The timing had to be right.

'Television is hard work'
You have an option of hanging your boots when you are working with films. But with television, you are constantly on your feet. As an actor, I have tremendous respect for the actors in the television fraternity.

'Bebo and I don't even get time to spend with each other'
We have been getting many offers but things just didn't click. I am looking out for a good opportunity and a script. There is less chance in television, as Bebo is too busy with her film schedules. We don't even get time to spend with each other.
