You were 20 when you were doing Kasauti. How did you manage the pressure?

You were 20 when you were doing Kasauti. How did you manage the pressure?
It was a dream-run for me. By the time I used to finish shooting, I would realise that I had spent more than 10 hours on the sets. At that time it was okay, since I was young and excited. But today the scene is different.
How is it different?
Now I have my daughter Palak with me. Earlier she had been living away from me because I could not manage a child along with my career. Now that I have somewhat settled down, I want to spend all my time with her. I want to watch her grow.
Do you feel guilty?
Honestly yes. I feel very guilty that my daughter had to go through all this. But there is no use crying over spilt milk. I will make up for all the time she has missed out with me. I listen to everything she says and give her whatever she wants.
Kasauti is a controversial set...
Yes. Rumours keep visiting our sets. Most often, they are targetted at me. I am very tired of answering questions now. So I have stoped giving interviews.
How is your relationship with co-stars?
We are very cordial. Just a hi-andhello relationship. Because I am an introvert and do not spend much time loitering around the set after the shoot. Many of my co-stars like doing that.
Are you going to quit acting?
Yes. After my on-going projects are over. I am waiting for Kasauti to end as also a few other cameo roles that I will be doing in other serials. After that I want to be at home and spend time with Palak. Maybe, I will start a business at home or do interior decorating.
Why this sudden decision?
There is no point in doing something that doesn't interest you any more. I loved it when Kasauti began but now I have realised that everyone is selfish. This is, indeed, the world that works on survival of the fittest and I don't think I fit in here. So I will quit.
