Till a few days back, the doeeyed Barkha Bisht was busy shooting for two shows, Popkorn News and the newly launched Babul Ki Bitiya Chali Doli Sajake. But Barkha had to quit working for Popkorn News as the girl fainted on the sets of not one but both the shows because she was overworked! "This was around 10-12 days back and I was literally doing back to back shifts to accomodate both the shows," admits Barkha. So she had to quit the show as she couldn't carry on like that. "That's the only reason I left, otherwise I was thoroughly enjoying anchoring," she smiles.
In her new serial, Barkha plays Anupama, a girl who has been brought up to think that she's unlucky, as her mother had died during childbirth. "She just wants to make her father love her as he doesn't even look at her," she explains about her character. But considering that most of the lead women on-screen are suppressed, what's new about this show? "I agree but most of these women are fighters who stand up for themselves. Anupama on the other hand, is not a strong person at all," Barkha says. The actress is all praises for producer Aroona Irani. "I have worked with female producers earlier but it's the first time that I'm working with a producer who's also an actress. As an actress, she guides us through our performances," she adds.
On the personal front, things are going great between Barkha and Indraniel Sengupta. "He's extremely supportive of my work," gushes Barkha about the man in her life. So can we hear wedding bells soon? "Marriage is not really in my scheme of things at the moment. We both are extremely busy with our careers and need some time," she says. Barkha admits that her parents are insisting on her getting married but at the moment, her priority is her career. "Maybe a year more and then I'll think about it," she smiles.
