Sriti Jha feels that she has been really lucky in bagging a lead role so early in her career. Sriti, who plays Sunaina in Jiya Jale on 9X, was last seen in a show called Dhoom Machaao Dhoom.
After completing her graduation in Delhi, she came to down to Mumbai and the first audition that she appeared for got her the role of Sunaina. And though Sriti identifies with the character that she is playing, there are some differences too. "I do identify with the character I am playing, but it's after all a character. It's fun to play a character that you can identify with," she says.
Apart from television, Sriti is fond of reading. Talk to her about books and the actress can speak for hours together.
"I recently read Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns and I loved it as much as his earlier book The Kiterunner. Right now I am reading The Circle of Reason by Amitav Gosh. I am a huge fan of Amitav Ghosh's work. I wish I could meet him," gushes Sriti. No wonder then that the actress doesn't complain about her hectic shooting schedules. "I always have my books for company," she explains.
Sriti also loves watching comedy shows. "I am scared of attempting comedy though. It's really tough to get the timing right. But I would definitely want to give it a shot in the future," she says. Considering the fact that she is well-read, does she find saas-bahu serials regressive? Sriti takes a diplomatic stand and says, "I cannot speak for others but my serial is definitely not regressive. It's about a girl's love for her family and her man. How can that be regressive? Emotions never become obsolete whether they are towards your family or your boyfriend."
Speaking about life apart from work, Sriti says, "I am very much single. With my kind of schedule where's the time to commit to someone?"
