You're back playing the vamp in
Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil.
Yes, but Daljeet is complete-
ly different from Mohini of
Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi
Bahu Thi. She's a Punjabi
girl full of tadka.
Speaking of Mohini, one hard-
ly gets to see you in Kyunkii..
That's because my track
isn't in the spotlight. Any-
way, I've been in Punjab
shooting for Kis Desh…
Most TV actors shift from
bad to good. Mohini hasn't
.. aren't you bored?
No, I'm very possessive
about Mohini. I have
created all her nuances. If
she changes, her quirks will
have to change too.
Also, Mohini isn't a typical
vamp.. she's plain selfish. Renu-
ka of Kumkum was the classic
black character.
No qualms about playing mum
(Kyunkii...) and aunt (Kis Desh...) to
actors your age?
As an actress it's my job to play
different characters. What's
important is that I do justice to the
role. I can't understand why actors
have issues playing older charac-
ters.
Are you a part of Ekta Kapoor's
Mahabharat?
(Laughs) No, I'm happy creating
Mahabharat in other people's lives.
What about movies?
I have received offers but the dates
didn't work out. I have no regrets
because TV has given me
everything I could have asked for.
I refuse to be silly like several tel-
ly actors who dump the tube for bit
roles in films.
How's your equation with your saas?
(Smiles) It's nothing like what you
see on TV My mum-in-law has tak-
.
en my mother's place.
