Immediate Plan…
I have been working hard on the character 'Jassi' and after three years of this hard work, I want to welcome this break with open arms. Everything seems to have wound up well and I'm pleased with the way things have worked out for me. What I am really looking forward to is switching off my mobile phone and putting my head back and relaxing. Work can definitely wait till June for sure!

Up Next…
Contrary to the rumours floating around, I have absolutely no plans on quitting television. Offers have been coming in and right now I am in the process of reading interesting scripts. I have not made any decisions yet but I'm keeping my options open. Even Jassi's producers Tony and Deeya Singh have come up with a script. Currently, I am in the process of talking with them about it. But my first priority is my break!

Bright New Avenues In Bollywood…
Prahlad Kakkar and Bobby Pushkarna had offered me a film, way back when Jassi was still on air. I should start shooting for the film sometime in September or October. I can't reveal much about my character in the film or who's starring opposite me, since that's all under wraps at the moment. The producers are in the process of making some changes in the script and some fine details need alterations as well. So one will just have to wait for the inside story. I have also been going through some more film scripts, but as of now I am taking my time to decide.

My Hearts Calling…
I'm looking forward to do challenging roles. I will let myself explore, the nuances of being an actor, something similar to 'Jassi', a role that was alien to the television medium.

Moving On…
I was a model before making an entry into television. I have done a few ads like Asian Paints, Godrej Grade-I Soap and Coke. A few more will be coming up now, Deluxe Paints and Murmure
(A FMCG), which will be aired on POGO. As for walking the ramp, I have done that before and it requires immense physical fitness and being in shape, which I need to work on, so there isn't going to be any ramp for me at least in the near future.

Being Jassi…
I evolved as a character with Jassi. I got to play the clumsy secretary, a hopeless lover, a CEO, a successful model, a wife and finally a mother. The role not only made me explore but also allowed me to experiment the many shades in a human being.

Moments That Matter…
I loved shooting for music videos with Abhijeet Sawant and Kailash Kher. This let me try something beyond what I was doing. My favourite scene while playing Jassi, was when Armaan and Mallika are getting engaged and Armaan takes Jassi out and proposes to her, that was fun to play.

Modest With Fame…
There have been so many heart-touching moments while doing the show. I remember while going to Delhi - a woman came up to me and asked both her children to touch my feet. I was overwhelmed as I was not aware of the popularity of the show then. Beside this, there are many anecdotes, which I will never forget. Another being, when in Mauritius while shooting for Jassi's makeover, an old woman came up to me saying she is glad that her daughter is becoming more beautiful.

Strong Ties…
I have met the most wonderful people on the sets of Jassi - Nandu (Gaurav Gera), Armaan (Apoorva Agnihotri), Mallika (Rakshanda Khan) and my producers Tony and Deeya Singh. We are all close friends now. Of course I am going to miss them, but I'm sure that we will keep meeting on and off.
