Second innings!
Veterans of the small screen are back in the reckoning as they face the cameras once again, finds BT

BHARATI ACHAREKAR
Best remembered for: Wagle Ki Duniya. My Marathi plays too have been very popular. Back with: Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. I play Kantaben, who is the nanny of Nimmo's mother. She has also taken care of Nimmo. Inspite of her old age, she's a complete livewire! What brings her back? I wasn't away for that long a time actually. I was doing Don't Worry, Ho Jaayega some three years back, apart from a few other programmes that were not very popular; hence, it seems that I was away for a very long time. Also, I was busy with theatre, my music concerts and my production house. With so much to keep me busy, I was waiting for a really good role to tempt me back to TV. Looking forward to? My maid has loved me in this role, where I play a nanny myself. She feels, it's a very realistic portrayal. So, judging by that comment, I think I can expect a great response.

Best remembered for: Frankly, everything I've done — be it newsreading, writing columns, doing theatre or recently, acting in a film! Back with: Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. I play an authoritative businesswoman and grandmother Preet Sehgal, who controls the family's decisions, her husband's over-thetop nature and the purse strings of the house. What brings her back? The medium is something I was familiar with as a newsreader, but I had never really acted in it. Acting is a different ball game altogether and I took it up as a challenge! Looking forward to? I'm quite nervous, not because I'm playing a grandmother, but because this role of a grim matriarch is in complete contrast to my real-life gregarious, helpful persona that people are familiar with. So, I'm worried as to how the audience is going to accept me as this totally different character.
