'Bidaai' actress Parul Chauhan now eyes Bollywood

New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS) TV actress Parul Chauhan, known for playing Ragini in 'Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai' on STAR Plus, is now eyeing the big screen.

'I have been approached for a lead role by a big production house which I can't name right now,' Parul told to IANS on phone from Mumbai.

The 21-year-old started her acting career with Balaji's 'Kayamath', where she played Riya. After making it big with 'Bidaai', she was participated in the dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' and was appreciated for her dancing skills.

Now she is trying her hands at comedy with 'Comedy Circus-Teen Ka Tadka' on Sony Entertainment Television.

'Comedy would be something I have never done before, but I am excited,' said Parul who wanted to be an engineer.

'I thought of becoming an engineer but in an informal gathering one of my cousins saw my dance and said that I would make a good actor. After that I got inclined towards this profession,' said Parul.

She moved to Mumbai from Lucknow and joined acting classes, but realised that it has nothing extra to offer.

'One of my friends told me about the Asha Chandra Acting Institute. I came to Mumbai and joined the school but on the very first day I found that the school has nothing special to offer me so I didn't continue with it,' said Parul who is in love with Mumbai.

'I love the city. After an year of struggle, it has started paying off. It has given me recognition and respect,' she said.
