Shilpa enters small screen

Telugu actress Sakshi Shivanand's sister Shilpa Anand is thrilled about her foray into tv. with her first serial Dill Mil Gaye. Shilpa, who has earlier acted in a couple of Telugu films, will now be seen playing a 21-year-old intern, who is very generous and giving. Ask her why she quit the silver screen for TV and she replies, "Though I have done films before, I didn't fancy being a superstar like my sister Sakshi. So when this offer came my way, I took it up. I am enjoying my stint on television as mine is not a a run-of-the-mill character. For most women in tv serials, it's all about shedding tears at the drop of a hat but my role isn't like that. That apart, TV allows me to experiment with various roles."

But what different role will a new comer like her play, when it's a known fact that saas-bahu sagas are the ones that are most accepted. "I would never do a saas bahu soap as wearing saris all the time and crying isn't my cup of tea. I know such shows are successful but then there are other shows too that are making a mark too."
