Mansi goes regional!

If you think Mansi Salvi is still basking in the glory of Sati or taking a break, think again. The talented actor, is , in fact getting ready for her second innings as a lead actress. Mansi has just signed Asambhav, a daily soap on Zee Marathi which is being produced by Pallavi Joshi. The half hour daily prime time show goes on air from 12 February and will be directed by Shyam Malekar. "I play the main protagonist, Shubra who is very strong and level headed. It's a unique concept and not a typical saas-bahu saga. Rather it's about a girl's relationship with her husband as she adjusts to her new family and the turn of events which occur after her marriage," says Mansi who is working with the channel after a gap of three years (earlier had worked in Nupur for which she won the best actor award). So what made the actor take up Asambhav and go regional where there is immense creative satisfaction but half the remuneration. " I took up the show as the money worked out was decent enough and working with Pallaviji is an absolute delight. I find her extremely down to earth and understanding. Besides, after working for a daily soap and having gruelling work schedules working for Asambhav is pretty comfortable as I have to devote twelve days in a month and can easily get time for myself and my family. It's a pleasure working in ones mother tongue with all the veteran Marathi actors around," points out Mansi who is shooting in Madh Island for the show. Also, rumours have it that the actor wants to start a family this year so plans to cut down on hectic work schedules. Here's hoping Mansi gets enough opportunites to vent her talent the right way besides getting enough time to spend with her folks as well.
