Surveen Chawla, who made her debut with the fiction show 'Kahiin To Hoga', is back on the small screen. Even though the actress earlier claimed that she would never do anything on TV,24 comes as an exception to the rule.
Surveen essays the role of Maya in the second season of the finite series. Despite being Haroon Sherchand's (Sikhander Kher) girlfriend, she has her heart set on Jai Singh Rathore (played by Anil Kapoor). While Surveen seems to be quite happy doing 24 Season 2, there is not much that she has to offer on the show.
Calling it a pivotal and complex character, Surveen made the role seem bigger than what it is. Clearly, her screen time is limited and she ends up playing a prop in the hands of powerful men. It isn't a progressive role as she is clearly subjected to rape, manhandling and convenient manipulation by both Haroon and Jai.

Yes, 24 might look like a film and be grander than a typical TV show, as Surveen said in an interview, but it certainly does not offer her the scope to display her acting chops like her debut on the small screen.
Featuring Sakshi Tanwar, Ashish Vidyarthi, Neil Bhoopalam and Sudhanshu Pandey, the show airs on Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM. Currently, the actress is also a participant on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, a dance based reality show on Colors TV.
