What is your bucket list?

Well, I am looking forward to doing web shows after the completion of my roles in several shows. My wish is to do something realistic which has more relativity and is not the same as those which have larger-than-life roles which will surely challenge me to change my portrayal. All in all, I want to play a mom on the big screen too. Well, I would love to team up with many good directors like Imtiaz Ali, Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and for sure Aamir Khan.

You have been playing a mother’s role for a long time. Do you think you are getting typecast?

Yes, I feel I am getting typecast, and this is one of the biggest problems in television. But I must thank Balaji and Shashi Sumeet for giving me a chance to perform negative and different shades otherwise nobody gives me a chance to do something else.

What kind of challenges do you face in breaking a typecast image of being a mother?

Rejections are always there in the mind, but sometimes mentality and being in perfection mode is something that has always been in the mind. For Meet, I learnt Haryanvi, and for Tashn-ae-Ishq I learnt Punjabi, so I feel we should learn because I feel it is the demand of content and we as actors are getting paid for it.

Good Luck, Vaishnavi!
