Gurdeep Kohli opens up on having no problems with ageing on TV

Actor Gurdeep Kohli is a TV legend now where not only has she been on the small screen for almost decades now but has certainly managed to create a legacy of her own. Even though she might have naturally aged in real life, the actor has actually been playing aged roles on-screen for quite some time now.

Having begun her career as a young Dr. Juhi in Sanjivani, Kohli went on to many roles that required to play on-screen mother to many actors who would be around her same age and just a tad younger to her.

But unlike many actors, she has never had any qualms if ageing on-screen, about which she talked in an interview with ETimes TV. She said, “In these 19 years, I have played different characters and over the years, I have accepted that one has to age on screen and accept roles accordingly. Not many actors do that. But what I make sure is that the character that I am choosing to play – it could be a mother or a mother-in-law – is important to the story."

She added, “This is something which I took note of from the beginning of my career. Even when I did Sanjivani, there were so many young girls from small towns who wrote to me to tell how my character inspired them to pursue their dreams.”

Kohli currently plays the lead role in newly launched Ishara channel's Humkadam.
