Pooja Pihal, who essays Shravani of 'Pavitra Rishta', is somewhat dejected by the viewer reactions. Her character is shown to have a negative attitude which is irritating as well. Pooja is also not happy at being projected as a barrier between the two main leads of the show. The poor girl has had various experiences which have depressed her even further.
"It's not only the elderly but also small kids who come and abuse me. They think that I am good for nothing and bad in real life too. I recall a recent incident on the sets of 'Pavitra Rishta', when some of our fans came to greet us along with two little kids. Both of them sat beside Archana (Ankita Lokhande) and did not agree to sit with me. Even after a long period of interaction they didn't open up to me. They were silent on being asked whom they loved the most. Then both of them nodded at Archana on being asked individually and just stared silently when they looked at me." says Pooja.
She has now made up her mind about taking up roles hence forth, "I won't accept totally negative roles as it creates a lot of problems off screen. And will keep in mind that people tend to judge you by your onscreen persona. It does feel bad when someone treats you badly and has nothing good to say about you," signs off Pooja gloomily.
That's true Pooja, people relate you to your onscreen persona!
