Yashashri is the grown up Mrignayni-TOI article

After playing a subdued and doting bahu Khanak in Rang Badalti Odhani, Yashashri Masurkar is now all set to try her hand at a complete different genre.

She has bagged the role of grown up Mrignayni in Imagine TV's historical show, Chandragupta Maurya. Playing the princess of Takshila, Mrignayni will marry protagonist Chandragupta in the near future. An elated Masurkar says, "I am excited about the role because it's in complete contrast to Khanak. I am doing a historical show for the first time and it's quite an interesting opportunity.

I want to keep doing more versatile roles." Talking about her fascination for this particular genre, she says, "Historical shows are interesting as they take us back in time. As an actor, it's a challenge to play someone who existed so many eras ago. You also transport the viewers into the past." We hear that the damsel is going through mixed emotions as she is both happy and sad at the same time. While she is completely in awe of the character of Mrignanyi and can't wait to play the same, she also has to shift to Baroda permanently for sometime as the set of the show is erected there. Well you can't have your cake and eat it too!
