I cannot play a younger 'me' post
a leap: Seema Mishra

The talented actress Seema Mishra is
one of the three artistes who have
moved out of Colors' Madhubala-Ek
Ishq Ek Junoon (Nautanki Telefilms)
post the leap.
While Vivian Dsena and Sikander
Kharbanda did not want to play
parents to kids of their age, Deepali
was more concerned about her role
in the new set up.
When questioned, Seema said, "I
don't have an issue with ageing on-
screen, but then I wanted to play
something substantial even post the
leap. Forgive me for I am going to
sound clichd, but what happens
post the leap is that actors are taken
further for continuity."
"But I can't stand in the crowd and
do nothing for I wouldn't be
comfortable in such an atmosphere.
Deepali had become a huge rage
amongst the masses and I would like
that feel to remain. I can't let her
become something else," admitted
the actress with utmost sincerity.
So did you wait for a creative brief on
your character post the leap? "Yes, I
waited. I wanted to understand if I
would be offered something
substantial and challenging. But
then the creatives too felt that they
shouldn't show me as a 40 plus
Deepali. They felt that I could come
back as a stronger character later,
but there was no clarity on the same.
That's when we mutually decided to
put an end to it," Seema averred.
When asked to give her take on
female protagonists playing their
own children post the leap, the
actress observed, "It all depends
from person-to-person but honestly
I cannot play a younger me' post the
leap. Yes, for some it gives them
monetary stability. Being repetitive
as a character does not cater my
creative sensibilities. But as a
ingenious person, how long can I do
that? This would upset me as an
actor. I feel it's always good to begin
with a challenge, for if you stick to
the same thing, your goals start
fading away."
Are you missing the regular shoots of
Madhubala? "Yes, I do miss
Madhubala, but more than anything I
am upset over the fact that I am not
given a call time for the next day.
After all I was part of the show for
one and a half years. I am also sad
about not getting to meet my
friends whom I used to be with
every day," she informed.
What's next? "I have a lot of plans.
The first one is to get back to doing
rigorous workouts. As far as work is
concerned I know the people who
want to work with me. So, I'll take up
work as and when it materializes,"
Seema answered.
Seema, you are definitely one sorted
woman. Keep up the good work.
