"Working with Balaji is like coming back home"
<strong>Will your role of 'Mohini Mittal' in 'Kyunki...' be a long role?</strong>
It should be. Working with Balaji Telefilms is like coming back home as I had worked as Kkusum’s younger sister “Jyoti” and left when the show took an 18 years jump. Ekta saw my performance in <em>Siddhanth<em> on Star One and offered me the role of Mohini.
<strong>Are you going to carry forward the “Ansh” legacy of troubling the Virani family?</strong>

Will your role of 'Mohini Mittal' in 'Kyunki...' be a long role?
It should be. Working with Balaji Telefilms is like coming back home as I had worked as Kkusum’s younger sister “Jyoti” and left when the show took an 18 years jump. Ekta saw my performance in Siddhanth on Star One and offered me the role of Mohini.
Are you going to carry forward the “Ansh” legacy of troubling the Virani family?
Oh, yes, I have been roped in to add spice to the show. By the time Ansh will be killed, my character will start showing her true colours. Ekta offered me the role, because I can play negative roles with conviction while looking innocent.
Why did you leave “Kumkum”?
I left Kumkum because I needed a break after playing a negative character for so long. My character was popular to the extent that once, when I went to attend a function in Nagpur, a woman ran after me with a chappal in her hand!
Will “Renuka” return in 'Kumkum'?
The channel does want me back, but it has not been decided when and how!
Don’t you want to play a positive character?
I am open to playing a positive role, if there is scope to perform. But then, when one you are doing well as a negative lead, you tend to be offered similar roles.
How was your trip to Pakistan for your show “Partition Ek Safar”?
It was an overwhelming experience. I am the first actress from the Indian television industry who went to Pakistan for shooting. When I went to shops, there were many people who didn’t let me pay for stuff like bangles, saying I am their country’s guest. That was really touching.
When will it see the light of day?
The serial, Partition Ek Safar will go on air on 12 December on Geo Channel. I might go for the launch.
