Sometimes a particular role is narrated and eventually what happens in the serial can be entirely different. That's what has happened in Sayantani Ghosh's case. And she is naturally upset with the way her character has shaped up in Rakt Sambandh. "The brief given to me was different. I was told it was a story about five sisters and all of them were the main leads. But I'm unhappy with the way my role has shaped up," she says. Quitting the serial, however, is not on her mind yet, she says. "I have spoken to the channel and the producers and we are trying to see if things can be worked out. In fact, I have a meeting today with them. Let's hope for the best," she says.
The uncertainty in television today is a huge problem for actors. "Serials shut in two to three months nowadays. We can't plan anything anymore. Earlier when you took up a show you could plan the next one year at least in terms of your finances, but that's not the case anymore." Sayantani has done four Bengali films opposite top star Prosenjeet. So is returning to Bengali cinema on her mind considering the insecurities here? "I have always been associated with Bengali cinema. I never lost touch. But insecurities here are a part and parcel now of the industry. So you just have to accept it. You have to do your best and leave the rest to God," she says.
On the personal front, the girl's having pressure for marriage from her family. "All my school friends are either married or getting married in the next few months, so my parents are after me to settle down! But I'm not prepared as yet. I need some more time," she says. Sayantani is dating someone in Mumbai, but doesn't want to talk about it. "Yes I'm seeing some one, but I prefer keeping my personal life private," is all she's willing to say.
