Artcle--When I'm old and grey, and ......

Gautami Gadgil just loves her elderly Tulsi avatar. So much so that the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi actress refuses to wash the whitener that she applies on her hair to look aged on the show. After a hard day's work the actress returns home with her salt-and-pepper hair only to save herself from painting it again the following day. She says, "The whitener remains on my hair even when I go home after a day's work. I don't wash it off everyday, because I know I have to apply the same whitener the very next day. If I wash my hair every night, I will surely become bald as my hair is very sensitive and so I wash my hair twice a week," she says.

The whitener has not yet proved harmful for this actress. On the other hand she likes her matured look. She says, "Everyday I shoot for long hours and whitening the hair is a part of the job. When I stepped into Tulsi's role, I knew that I have to whiten my hair everyday. So that's not a problem."

However, Gautami has cut down on her appearance at social dos and parties. She has attended only one party since she had taken up the show. "After the shooting, I am so exhausted that I don't go for parties. Moreover, Ram is doing two daily soaps simultaneously and we hardly have any time left for partying. Besides, with this whitener I prefer not to go to parties, I have only been to Ekta's private birthday bash in the last two months," she laughs.

The actress has a one year old daughter named Sia and she prefers to spend time with her family. "I have a good support system as my mother and my mother-in-law both take care of my daughter when I am busy shooting. So, it would be really unfair if I don't give time to my daughter after shooting and attend parties instead," Gautami says.
