I was disappointed but that disappointment did not stay with me for long: Gurdeep Kohli on failure of Sanjivani 2

MUMBAI: Gurdeep Kohli is one of the most talented actresses in the industry. After becoming a household name with the original Sanjivani, she went on to work in Kasamh Se, Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka, and many more. Now all set to reprise her role in Alt Balaji's popular show Kehne Ko Humsafar Hai, as it returns for the third season, it also cannot be forgotten that she also reprised her breakout role of Dr. Juhi in Sanjivani 2 last year.

Unfortunately, the reboot of Sanjivani did not work well and, in fact, never got going at all.

In a recent conversation with a media portal, she opened up on what was lacking in the second season and if she was disappointed with the outcome of the show too. She said, "Every time you cannot hit the bulls eye, it's just that if you are wanted by people and they still want to watch you onscreen and want to be entertained by you is in itself a win-win situation for an actor. I can't expect that all my shows will be a big hit like Sanjivani 1. I feel really happy that people still want to see me on-screen and it is enough for me and if during that process, I am able to hit a bull's eye then that is a huge jackpot for me. There are times when things don't workout the way you have visioned them. But it's part of the entertainment industry, sometimes the best of films don't do well."

The actress added, "I was disappointed but that disappointment did not stay with me for long. And also I had so much fun while working on the show that I never got a chance to feel disappointed. I still cherish each and every moment of working on Sanjivani because I've never seen a season where the same lead actors have been cast. It is only Mohnish Behl sir and me who have been part of the second season as leads. That was a very big achievement for me yaar. I was a part of Sanjivani when I was nothing and I did Sanjivani 2 when I had gained so much in real and reel life. I watched Sanjivani 2 with my kids which is a very big win for me. They have actually got to know the entire history of their mother because of this season. There was such an uproar, so many people took notice of me. All this is enough for me. I had a great time working."
