The toughest roles on TV
Shilpa Saklani It is very difficult to zero in on one particular role that was the most difficult. I feel all the characters I've played in the last few years are as tough as the others. Every new character brings with it a new set of challenges which we actors have to overcome. If I had to choose one among all the characters I have played, I guess it would be Lavanya (in
Lavanya). When I started working for this, I was already playing Ganga in
Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
Ganga being a very popular character, it was difficult for me to shed that image and get into the viewers mind as Lavanya. Also, since both the serials were running parallelly, it was all the more difficult for me.
