TV doesn’t have much variety when it comes to roles. But, Rakesh Paswan is a good old friend and this character is a different character from what I have played so far. I wanted to dress like a Bihari woman, all dressed in heavy sarees and jewelery – so my background, regional influence and style became different in this soap. Also, moving from Gujarati dialect to Bihari dialect will be fun. Also, the theme of this girl education soap is what I love about this soap.”

Although I am the mother of the heroine, I have no involvement or interaction in the scene. In fact, I was told by team ki ‘Aaj aapke dialog nahi hain’.
