`Parvati and Shruti have their own story

'Parvati and Shruti have their own story tracks'

By Sneha Hazarika

Post the Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii leap, the limelight might have shifted
to Sakshi Tanwar a k a Parvati and the new generation but Shruti i.e
Tina Parekh is unfazed. She promises to hold her own in the high
profile show.

Q: Are you enjoying your role in Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii after it has
taken a generation leap?
It's too soon to decide whether I am enjoying my role or not. It can
only be answered after a while.

Q: Will you be seen in a grey character now?
Ekta (Kapoor) has appointed a creative team to decide on my
character's growth. It would be better if you address this question
to one of the creative guys.

Q: After the comeback of Parvati, the serial seems to be
concentrating on her and the new generation. Where would your
character fit in now?
Parvati and I were present in the serial before also. Both have their
own individual significance and story tracks. Everyone stands out
differently.

Q: Your new look is being talked about. What is the significance of
that scar?
You are asking me to disclose the story again. There's some
significance attached to that scar which would be revealed in time.

Q: Have your costumes also been designed by Manish Malhotra too?
No, Manish (Malhotra) hasnothing to do with it. Ekta (Kapoor) and the
creative team worked on it. Ekta (Kapoor) wanted a particular image
for me. She even made me try a lot of hairdos.

Q: It's been a long association with Balaji Telefilms. How has been
your experience been?
The experience has certainly been good; otherwise I wouldn't have
been here. I started here as nobody and people recognise me now. What
more can I ask from Balaji? I owe a lot to them.

Q: Tell us something about your journey in the television industry.
How did you bag your first role?
Nimbus Television gave me my first break in their serial, Shakti
after which I did a serial for Sahara. Then Khichdi happened. But
seriously speaking, I don't believe in looking at the past.

Q: Given a chance what would be the one factor you would like to
change in this television industry?
I would be happy to have more weekly shows so that the unit members
can have more time for themselves. It's very necessary to have
proper rest to deliver good work.

Q: Are you working on any other projects other then Kasauti Zindagi
Kay and Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii?
How can one person even think of more work when one is already doing
two dailies?

Q: You have already acted in a film called Satya Bol. Do we see you
doing more films?
Given a chance I would love to do an art film.
