Shilpa Shinde, known for her last role as Soni in Maayka, is working again after eight months.
Shilpa will play a character by the name of Aastha. "Her father is a friend of Satyanarayan's. She has an ex-boyfriend who creates problems for her. Shubh comes to her rescue and she falls in love with him." Though she enjoyed shooting again, Shilpa makes it clear this is a one-off role. "I do not want to play sister roles forever. It is a cameo, so even if my role is appreciated, I will not return to the show in the future. It is a good show and I have been following it for many days, but I cannot work for 12-14 hours a day now."
It has been a while since we saw Shilpa on TV. The reason for this, according to her, is: "Nowadays, production houses hire teenagers because they are new and will give lots of time. We have worked hard to get here but they offer us the same roles. I was offered two shows but I did not want to do them." She adds, "I do not know what is happening with TV now. Whenever people experiment with something different, it doesn't work. I am waiting for something in comedy. I do not want to play a bhabhi or a sister anymore." The actress is also open to doing an adventure reality show.
Shilpa and Romit will tie the knot by the end of the year, though they haven't announced their wedding date yet.
