These actors play very popular characters on TV. But where do they draw the line between themselves and their screen avatars?
Sangeeta Ghosh on Veera in 'Rabba Ishq Na Hove'
"Veera is independent and very practical. What I like most about the character is her ability to take instant decisions. She is also very straightforward. I am very close to this character."
Apara Mehta on Savita in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'
"I like Savita's strict attitude because in a joint family the matriach has to be very disciplined. But sometimes she is too dominating which I don't agree with."
Rupali Ganguly on Monisha in 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai'
"Monisha is innocent, warm and loving. But her vibrancy lies in her outspoken attitude and her razor-sharp intelligence."
Narayani Shashtri on Rimjhim in 'Piya Ka Ghar'
"She is an extremely good housewife who always makes an effort to keep her house in proper shape. But she is too traditional which I can't always relate to."
Sai Anand on Inspector Priyanka in 'CID'
"She has all the seriousness of a CID officer. She also has a determination to prove herself in the squad. I'm working hard to develop the character as she is completely different from me. I'm a bubbly, chirpy girl."
Snigdha Kolkar on Shyamlee in 'Hare Kkanch Ki Choodiyan'
"She is a woman of great strength. If I could fight the odds as Shyamlee does then I would feel very proud of myself. But I don't like the fact that Shyamlee disregards her parents."
Reena Kapoor on Rani in 'Woh Rehne Wali Mehelon Ki'
"She is extremely soft spoken in spite of the adversities she faces in her life. She also loves her husband very much. It is her utter goodness that attracts me the most."
Chhavi Mittal on Disha in 'Tumhari Disha'
"I would like to be as patient as Disha. She is extremely honest and genuinely feels for people. But sometimes she is a bit too good to be true and I can't always be like that.
