Barkha Bisht may have screamed from rooftops earlier about not seeing Indraneil Sengupta, but now, she openly acknowledges that the good-looking model turned actor is more than just a friend. "I wouldn't like to say that we're just friends; that's so cliched," clarifies the dusky beauty, who says that Indraneil and she share a special relationship. "We are certainly more than just friends but beyond that, I can't say much," she adds. As for marriage plans, Barkha believes it is too early to plan for something like that. "I'm not thinking of marriage right now," she says. Not even with Indraneil? "Well, Indraneil is a great guy, he's nice and understanding. He's almost everything a woman would want in a man," is all Barkha's willing to say about her feelings for the man in her life. But even that says a lot! The actor who made a debut on the small screen with Ekta Kapoor's Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi, shared screen space with Indraneil on the sets of Pyar Ke Do Naam, Ek Radha Ek Shyam. The serial went off air a few months back after which Barkha became a Zoom anchor with Popkorn news. "It's good fun anchoring a show because I get to be Barkha Bisht in it and not some character. Earlier I used to get butterflies in my stomach, but now I've got the hang of it," she says. Recently, she acted in Shhh Pphir Koi Hai and says that she had a great time shooting for it. "It was scary because we would shoot late at night and there would be dim lighting on the sets," she recalls. The dusky beauty has recently signed Aroona Irani's new serial Doli Saja Ke, where she would be playing the character of a girl whose father hates her as her mother dies during childbirth. Later, a guy comes into her life and they fall in love. But ask her if she thinks the audience isn't bored of daily soaps and she says, "The Indian audience is not prepared for anything different on television. They crib and criticise the saas-bahu shows but at the end of the day, those are the ones that get the highest TRPs," she says.
