I have a thing for men at work’

Actor Shveta Salve, who was last seen in 'Sarrkar', believes in spacing out her performances, hence the deliberate choice to do few shows. Very soon she will be seen in director duo Tony and Deeya Singh's 'Left Right Left' (SAB). The dusky actor says, "I don't want to have a short shelf-life. That's why I believe in working in spurts."

She elaborates on her role in this military-based show, "I play Dr Ritu Mishra a psychiatrist in a cadet school. She's a friend, philosopher and guide to the youngsters and helps them sort their issues in life."

Quiz her on what would give her an edge among other actors and she shoots, "The competition is definitely huge but my passion towards my profession and hard work have helped me survive. Life's incomplete without a passion for something."

Ask her on her equation with co-actor Rajeev Khandelwal and she says, "He's very approachable and down to earth. It's admirable that he has reached so high in a very short span."

Never to be impressed with fast cars and good looks, Shveta reveals, "My man should have grey cells because you need to converse. After a point you get bored with looking at each other. My man should be passionate about his work. I have a thing for men at work."

Shveta is also slated to make an appearance in 'Kittu Sabb Jaanti Hai' and considers films as the next big step.
