So you finally quit Tumhari Disha? Yes. The parting was amicable. If there is a great track in the future, I am open to going back to Tumhari Disha. hitList was where I first went public about my displeasure (uncomfortable doing bold scenes; inability to adjust to non-fixed schedules) about my role.
Did you have Kesar in hand before you opted out of Tumhari Disha? I know what you're hinting at. I didn't quit Tumhari Disha because I was offered Kesar. The fact is, I had stopped enjoying Tumhari Disha. I put in a lot of effort to rejuvenate myself, but failed. The show had gone completely haywire for me.
How did Kesar happen? I received a call from Madhura, the creative person at Kesar. I play Kadambari, the princess of Jaipur. I am shown as the goddess of art of living. Kadambari can read anybody's face and predict what untoward incident the future holds for that person.
You have a new look in Kesar? I am very happy with this new all-white look. I'll be wearing white shirts, pants and blazers. It's great as I love the colour white.
Looking for other roles? I will be required to give about 10-12 days a month to Kesar. That would leave me with ample scope to work with other production houses as well. I can work for shows outside Balaji, as I am not under any contract for Kesar.
