TOI: Am opposite to Kia --Rucha

We have loved her portraying essential relations - that of a sincere bahu, a good bhabhiand overall a great woman in the show Bhabhi.

And we have loved watching her do various roles, from positive to negative, in Kkusum, Kaun Apna Kaun Paraya, Rang Badalti Odhani, and reality show Desi Girl; Rucha Gujarathi, currently riding on the success of her show Saas Bina Sasural, feels that it has been a blissful journey for her in the industry so far.

Although she still loves her role in Bhabhiand feels it is an important milestone in her career (the show went on for over two years and 800 episodes), she would not like being typecast with similar characters. About her transition from playing a good bahuto playing the role of a vamp, she says, "I like doing a variety of roles. It is challenging and gives me an opportunity to prove my versatility as an actor. And I have been blessed with different types of roles. Otherwise, if I would have done the same thing, I would have been typecast as the gullible, good bahu. I did not want that."

Quiz her about being in Bigg Bossand she replies, "I would not say no to it as I am very curious about the concept of the show. I have always lived in my own comfort zone, with my parents. I have never been in such an environment before so I would like to see how I adjust in the house with other people around me."

Ask her about her current show and she avers, "It is a very well-sketched character. But yes, I am absolutely opposite to Kiya in real life!"
