Quick Take: Mouli Ganguly

What's your role in Resham Dankh?
All I can say now is that she's a devoted, loving housewife, but keep watching and you will get to see a lot of emotion and drama.

Don't you feel you should try different stuff apart from the good bahu or beti roles like in Kahin Kissi Roz or Sarrkarr?
I had done a different action packed role as Sakshi, but it failed. Perhaps viewers are not ready to watch a woman outside the traditional role as a homemaker or breaker.

Amongst the various projects that you have done over the years, which is the closest to your heart?
Shaina's role in my debut serial Kahin Kissi Roz. I really enjoyed doing that project. It has also been my longest running serial, three and half years.

Any comments on your 'next to nothing' role in Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai starrer Rain Coat?
Actually, the role had depth, but it was kind of an in-between role for which the audience needed to think about to appreciate its meaning. I was shown as the opposite of Aishwarya's character, who like her, had a past, but had learnt to reconcile with life.

Any love interest?
No, coming from a traditional background, I went to a girls' college; hence interaction with the opposite sex was limited. Later when I started work, I had friends who were guys, but we would always go out in groups.

How do you spend your free time?
I am a voracious reader, I can read anything from serious autobiography (Gandhi's My Experiments with Truth) to Fredrick Forsyth's Pulp Fiction.
