Manasi Parekh's India Calling
on Star One has just ended, but she continues to be busy. Not just with her acting assignments, but also with her singing. Manasi's part of her husband Parthiv Gohil's fusion band Akruti. "We were in New York just 10 days ago. We performed at the Times Square," says an excited Manasi, who usually sings thumri and folkbased songs.
Manasi married Parthiv six months ago and "married life's been great," she says. So did she join the band after she fell in love with Parthiv? Manasi prefers to slip the question. "I do not want to talk about that. It's very personal," she smiles.
On the acting front she's gearing up for her next show Lucky on Star Plus. She also wants to study further. "I want to pursue media studies. Maybe next years, hopefully. Let's see if I can manage both work and studies."
Is she also hoping to carve
out
an alternative career for herself for the future considering the shelf-life of a TV actor is not very much? "To some extent yes. But talking about shelf-life of a Tv actor, no doubt it is not
very
long, But finally it depends from person to person. If an actor is willing to reinvent himself and adapt to the changing times he can go on for long. Looks like Manasi has found her calling.
