Shilpa Anand: Me, wearing a saree?

Shilpa Anand enjoys her stint in the television world but is happy that she is not playing run-of-the-mill characters.

She was happily running around trees and singing songs in South Indian movies, but then the world of TV beckoned. Shilpa Anand, one of the young cast of Star Ones new serial Dill Mill Gayye , is enjoying her stint in the telly world, and has very definite opinions on the current fare on TV.

Television is a medium where one can experiment with various topics and issues. Ironically, saas-bahu sagas are the only thing that one gets to see, she says.

So would she act in one of the K serials? This is an individual choice, and depends on the actor, she says diplomatically.But then, wearing a saree 24/7 and shedding tears would be a painful experience for me. Thankfully, I am not playing a run-of-the-mill character in Dill Mill Gayye . I play a doctor.

But arent saas-bahu sagas the most popular choice of the masses? Says who? Shilpa counters. The audience is bored with those serials, but they hardly have any options. People are interested in watching something different, and serials for the youth are definitely welcome, she avers. After working in this serial, I have realised that television offers you a wider scope to show your acting talent. I always dreamt of playing a doctor in my life, and I am excited for having been given that chance.

Shilpa has done modelling assignments, and she says her stint with South Indian movies was a very pleasant one.It is a very disciplined industry, where one gets to learn various aspects of acting, she says.

So if she liked the industry and her work there, what made her shift to television?I have not quit south Indian films completely, but I somehow started to find it monotonous. The language was something I couldnt understand and so I wasnt enjoying it much, she explains candidly.
