Don't want to be typecast as Parvati: Sonarika
Sonarika Bhadoria, popularly known as MataParvati from Devon KeDevMahadev has gone for an image makeover in her latest photoshoot.
Says Sonarika, "The main reason for this bold shoot is that I don't want to be typecast as a mother figure. I don't want my fans to know me only as Parvati. I want them to know the realSonarika, who only plays the role of a goddess. I didn't have any hesitations at all in doing thisphotoshoot, thinking it could disappoint my fans, 'coz I know my fans will love me in this avatar too. Aaj-kalzamanabadalgayahai. HumpehliwaaliRamayanke Ram aurSitanahihain. People are crazy about us because of our onscreen portrayal of gods, but at the same time, they know that we are not at all like that in real life."
Another reason why Sonarika would want viewers to see her beyond her onscreen character is her plan to foray into Bollywood. "Nothing is finalised as of now, but I am getting a lot of Bollywood offers. I have been reading a lot of scripts but have not signed a movie. The kind of movies that I am being offered are usually romantic, where I play the girl-next-door character. Bollywood has always been my first love. I have always dreamt of becoming a Bollywood actress. TV toh ek step tha films ke liye."
Does that mean that Sonarika will quite Mahadev if she gets an interesting film offer? "Not at all! I am still contract-bound with the channel. I have a one-year contract with Nikhil Sinha, the producer of the show. But when I told him about my Bollywood dream, he gave me complete freedom to pursue a career in films, if I can manage TV and films together. But I don't think that is possible, since TV takes up most of my time."
