With judges Urmila Matondkar and Shiamak Davar supporting you, what do you think Prachi Desai must have felt when the results of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa were declared?
You have to ask her. I have never spoken to Prachi.
Deserving candidates often end up losing talent-hunt shows on television. Will you participate in a similar programme?
Of course, I will participate if a show is challenging enough. You have to understand that I have not left the show with any negative feeling. I am not crying over a trophy or votes.
After Jhalak, Ekta Kapoor said you could have won had you continued with the serial Koshish. Comment.
I agree with her to some extent. Television is a very powerful medium and allows immense connectivity with the audience. I was a powerful bahu in Koshish. But at the same time public memory is very short. Prachi will not be half as popular when Kasamh Se goes off air. Besides, agreeing to Ekta doesn't mean you will see me acting in a Balaji Telefilms show again.
How is your equation with Sony, considering that there were rumours that the channel had given in to Kapoor's wishes?
I am not affected by rumours. In fact, rumours make me more determined. And I share a very healthy relationship with both the channel and the production house. I attended the post-event party where Urmila Matondkar brought a cake for me. I am happy that I walked away with respect and dignity.
Are we going to see you on television very soon?
I have no problem with television, but I doubt if you will ever see me in a soap again. At present I am very excited about my first live dance show in Mumbai.
