TOI: There is no soul in tv - Navneet

Navniit Nisshan is making a comeback on TV with Ila Bedi Dutta's Hitler Didi.

What's your character in Hitler Didi?

Before signing up for Hitler Didi, I was approached for another show by same channel to play a corporate woman and I chose Hitler Didi because it's not a really a negative character per say. I essay the character of Mrs Simi Diwan, one with grey shades and I have been instructed not to play it negative as I have been playing the rich bitch for the past 20 years.

Don't you think you're too old to play a mother to Sumit Vats and Mrunal Jain on the show?

No, I don't. I'm very realistic when I decide to play a character. I'm 47 years you know!

Who according to you is the quintessential vamp of the telly world today?

Honestly, I can't comment on this, as I don't watch TV, not even my shows because I'm so busy with work.

Would be be able to do it, if you were offered the role of Hitler Didi?

Of course, I would. When I see Hitler Didi, I remember Tara, whom I played 20 years ago. And that's how people still remember me for.
