The actress, who was last seen in TV series Rangrasiya and web show called Zindabad and Vodka Shots, also said that TV has changed and she doesn't see herself fit into that space. She added that she is not saying no to the medium but right now she is taking a break from it. She also talked about her proper full-fledged foray in Bollywood and how she learned a lot from TV and that's why she is glad she started off her proper acting career with series. “I always feared the casting couch. Not that I would have taken it lying down; I would have beaten the sh*t out of him. I took up this film because a friend was originally supposed to direct it, though he didn’t eventually. However, in hindsight, I am happy that I didn’t start with films, as I learned a great deal on TV. Even if I make a mistake in one episode, I can always improve myself in the next telecast,” she said.
