After ruling the TV screen with Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii for six years looking almost the same, Sakshi Tawar finally gets to don a glamorous garb as Parvati bhabi's image undergoes a makeover. She speaks about her new look as well as what's new on Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.

How do you feel about looking more glamorous than ever?
This is like a new chapter in my life. It's a big challenge for me. People have watched me as an icon for six years. I thank Ekta for this. There is a child in every actor who gets excited with every new thing that comes up. I hope I do justice to my new challenge. I don't think anyone else would have given me this kind of a role. But Ekta took that risk. One thing has surely changed. Before it used to take around 45 minutes for me to complete my make-up and be present at the shoot. But now it takes one and a half hours for me to do my make up. I was very tense about this whole look thing. Thank god, the promos have got a positive response.

So, will this new look get you more glamorous roles?
To tell you very honestly, glamour is not what I search for in a character. For me the story should be strong. There should be something about the character, which contributes to the larger picture, even if it is a one-scene role. It doesn't really matter if it's completely deglamourised.

It has been six long years. Aren't you bored of playing the same Parvati day in and day out?
On the contrary, it has become an essential part of my life. On a day off I suddenly feel at a loss. It's like any other nine to five job. The retirement age is 60 and an average individual starts working at the age of 20. And most people spend their entire life in the same area of work so it's no big deal.

Tell us something about your character. Will there be a change or will we see the same old Parvati?
I personally feel what you wear doesn't necessarily reflect what you think. I can wear a mangalsutra, sindoor, bindi and than also believe in modernism and forward thinking. I can wear jeans and a kurta and still feel that it's essential to have a son in the family. Values will always be the same under any circumstances. It's an integral part of Parvati's character. Only the situations will change.

Your interaction with Manish Malhotra?
Manish is a very sweet guy. He is very professional. He discussed my new look with me. He knows what he is doing. He has really worked hard to design my look.

Would there be a romantic interest in Parvati's life?
Not at the moment. Right now she has only one mission in life that is revenge. I can't say anything more, as I don't know how the story is going to move ahead. Right now I can just say that she is completely focused.

Veteran actress and producer Aroona Irani has joined the Balaji camp. Irani, who has her own production house and has her serial Vaidehi on air, said that she was very happy to work with Balaji Telefilms in their show Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. Irani, who began her career as a child actor, was one of the undisputed queens of the item dance along with Helen and Bindu. "Ekta called up and asked whether I would be interested in working with them. I am an actress first, and then a producer. As I liked the role, I accepted the offer,'' says the senior actress.

Elaborating on her role in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, she said, "Narayani Devi, the character which I play, is very interesting. She is highly influential and a strong person. She guides Parvati while in trouble. She is Parvati's mentor. The role resembles the character of Krishna in the Mahabharata.'' Narayani supports Parvati when she left helpless without any support from family. Parvati then regains confidence and fights back to get her rights with the help of Narayani.

This actress has also made a mark as a comedian in films. She says, "The role is certainly exciting, and I share a cordial relation with Jeetuji and Shobhaji, so I feel at home while working with Balaji." Irani has acted in films like Bombay to Goa, Dil to Pagal Hai, Garam Masala and Beta and feels that if given a good offer, she would like to continue acting in films as well. Meanwhile, the new serial by her production house, whose name she did not disclose, will be telecast in December.
