I still need to improve: Barkha

How did a project with Balaji Telefilms come your way?

It was a surprise for me when I got a call from Balaji Telefilms. All this while, I have grown up seeing their serials on TV and considering the fact that I had no prior experience in acting, it was quite an opportunity for me. I was just returning home from a shoot when I got a call from a Mumbai number. At first I thought it was a joke that my friends were playing on me but later I came around. The role that I was being offered was the lead role of Kuchh Is Tara.

But you finally landed in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki...

Yes, the lead in Kuchh Is Tara is a Marathi girl and I needed to have a strong Marathi accent for that. Since I had just begun with my Hindi classes, it would take me some more time to grasp Marathi. So they decided to me cast me as Shivangi in Kahaani....

How was the experience of facing the camera for the first time?

(Chuckle) I wish it never happened the way it did. My entry, which was my first scene, had to be reshot.
