Sim in MDTA was offered the lead in PKKP

Priyamvada who plays the lead Simran on Zee's Meri Doli Tere Angna struggled for four years modelling and doing small character roles and cameos in serials, but she didn't jump at the first lead role that came her way. The actress was selected to play the lead in Parivaar but she turned it down as she wasn't prepared to work for a pittance of a salary. "I wanted to move on from doing character roles, but I rejected Parivaar because I wasn't offered decent money," admits the actress who agreed to play Simran because, "The role is very good and the money part has been taken care of as well."

Can't blame her for being very particular about payment as she like all TV stars will have to suffer never ending hours of shooting, no weekends and very few holidays on a daily basis. Very little money at the end of a hard day provides no motivation.

Unfortunately in reel life Priyamvada isn't a tough cookie as she wants to make her marriage work despite the fact that her husband doesn't love her. But her alter ego Simran is having some fun now as there is romance in the air, "At the moment a romantic track is on, but one doesn't know when bad days will come again," chuckles the pessimist.
