'Roja' Madhoo to make her television debut.

Actress Madhoo, known for her roles in
Bollywood hits like 'Roja' and 'Phool Aur
Kaante', is all set to make her debut on
television with the big-budget fantasy
drama, 'Aarambh'.
The actress, who had left the Hindi film
industry around 15 years back, was
roped in by friend and director Goldie
Behl. Ask Madhoo why she chose to
make her small-screen debut and she
says, "Goldie and his wife Sonali (Bendre)
are good friends, so I had no
apprehensions about joining their team.
Also, my character is well-defined; it has
a proper beginning and end, unlike
some roles that undergo illogical twists
and turns. More importantly, when it
comes to TV shows, their hectic schedule
scares you. But here, it was not at all the
way I feared it would be."
We hear that Madhoo's role in the show
has been inspired by Sivagami (Ramya
Krishnan) of 'Baahubali'. She reveals,
"Yes, it is a dynamic role. I will be playing
a queen who takes control over her
kingdom. Ramya is my best friend and I
am happy that I am playing a similar
character on TV."
So, why did she disappear from
Bollywood for so long? The actress
replies, "After marriage, I was not
offered any substantial role in
Bollywood. People thought that I was
happily married with kids and so, I
wouldn't be interested. However, I
continued working down South."
