Hi fans!!! Take a look at this interview published in a Gujarati Magazine "Feelings". For those who don't know Gujarati (like me, but now I have learnt) I am translating a few parts of this interview... In fact I am just providing the extract of this interview....Read on.

She says that creative team of both the shows (Papad Pol and Sajan Re..) helped her a lot in essaying the 2 very different roles.
She said yes to the role of Kokila straightaway and she is quite happy with the success and popularity of the character. She didn't expect Kokila to be this popular!!
She has full confidence on her talent and she doesn't fear being typecast.
She has got many offers for Gujarati movies but she says she doesn't have time for movies as she has to work 30 days a month for her 2 current serials.
There are no tiffs among the actors on the sets of Papad Pol. We all eat our lunch together and spend our day just like a family. There is no any negativity on the sets.
Her first serial was Khichdi, followed by Kumkum, Kituu Sabb Janti Hai, Zaara and Raakhi. (I guess she forgot or simply skipped many others like Baabul, Jaane Kya Baat Hui and many others because the list is quite long!! Hehe !!!!).
When asked about her dream roles, she said - She wants do a role full of action. Then she wants to do a fully romantic role. As she has not done either of these 2 roles, its her keen desire to do these kinds of roles.
On being asked about her other work on TV, she said - I have hosted a few programs like ETC Ki Filmy Baatein, Indiadhanush on NDTV Imagine with Siddharth Kak and Surbhi. I have also worked as anchor for shows on Zee Alpha and Disney (shows for kids!!!).
She also says that after marriage its difficult for a woman to work but her husband himself said to her, "This is your time, work as much as you can. Dont complain that I could not act after marriage when you turn 50".
Last question was about the difference between the popularity of Big screen and small screen artists. She said that its the same. They both get the same popularity.
