Woh Are you quitting Rehnewaali Mehlon ki? Nothing is confirmed yet, so I can't comment. Are you bored of the character? It's been four years.. .. and 750 episodes. It has been a wonderful journey . In one line, what is Woh Rehe- newaali Mehelon ki? It's a simple realistic story . Realistic? You married a guy who is a look-alike of your dead husband! That was ages ago. The cur- rent track is realistic. Your patis in the soap keep dying. Yeah, despite that they expect me to be a Sati Savitri. How is the latest one played by Vinay Jain still alive? Is it because of his 'Jeetey raho' ICICI ad? (Laughs) Maybe. You had a problem with the generation leap. Yes, that's why I'm playing my own daughter, Pari. Everyone else around me ages but I don't. You've had the same hairstyle before and after the generation leap.. I wanted to keep it real and simple. How many times have you been thrown out of the house on the show? Whenever the TRPs dip, Pari is thrown out. Still, you haven't thought of a back-up accommodation.. If we think of back-up accom- modations, the producers may think of a back-up too. Any track you don't like in the soap? The issues Rani faced were real and beautifully handled. Now as Pari, we fight over silly things like the air-condi- tioner.. it's very petty. How big is your real-life mahal? My husband Karan and I have just bought a two-bed- room flat on the 23rd floor with an amazing view of the hills. He wakes me late at night just to see the moon. What does your mum-in-law think of your on-screen avatar? She is proud of me. Woh Rehe- newaali... is the only soap she watches. She is more into sports.. she keeps track on Formula One and all that. Really?! (Laughs) Yes, we're quite the opposite. I prefer bhajans and she likes the latest chartbusters. How do you react when anyone calls you 'Aunty'? Initially, this annoyed me but now I'm okay with it. I prefer to be called didi though. If someone else were to play Rani/Pari, whom would you pick? Divyanka Tripathi. Which is the one role you would- n't like to do? I wouldn't be comfortable playing a vamp.
