Now's the future
We caught up with TV actress Sangeeta Ghosh who invests in the future with hard work!
Despite being a popular face on the small screen, of late, actress Sangeeta Ghosh has been conspicuous by her absence in television serials.
Lucknow Times caught up with the actress on her recent visit to the city to find out if it was a deliberate decision on her part to do less work.
"Yes," she answers, "With one project at a time, you can concentrate more on your work and do your home work for the role as well.
And then lead roles don't leave you with much time to do many serials at a time. Moreover, I like to maintain exclusivity."
With her roles in Aroona Irani's serials, Sangeeta does seem to be Irani's lucky mascot. She accepts the two gel very well as team.
"We both understand each other completely. She (Irani) knows her responsibilities as a producer while I realise what she expects out of me as an artist.
This way, we both complement each other," quips the actress, adding that she tends to take more interest in Irani's projects due to the bonding they share. "We even share the same date of birth!" she chuckles.
While her affinity to Aroona Irani is pretty evident, not many know that she has been a successful child artist as well and has worked with people like Hrishikesh Mukherjee in Hum Hindustani, Basu Chatterji (in NFDC's Durga and Sarita Ki Shartein) and Lekh Tandon.
"I consider myself fortunate to have got a chance to work with the stalwarts of the film industry, and it has been an enriching experience," says Sangeeta.
The actress maintains that saas-bahu sagas are still popular and enjoy a good viewership even now as "families sit and watch them together". So why didn't she act in one? Sangeeta has her own reasons for that and without revealing much, she says, "But hats off to them for being able to have sustained for so long."
While most TV actors maintain that though film offers have come their way, nothing has been interesting enough, Sangeeta is candidly confesses that it's not easy to get into films.
"So what if I have all the pre-requisites to be a Bollywood heroine, like a pretty face, great figure etc? There is already a Preity Zinta, Kajol and Rani (Mukherji) in the industry. The most important thing is that you need to know the people in Bollywood."
However, Sangeeta does assert that the gap between the small and big screen is narrowing, "thanks to people like Manoj Bajpai, Ashutosh Rana and even Anita Hansanandani (of Kkavyanjali)".
She adds, "Anita is lucky to have Ektaa (Kapoor) with her. But Shah Rukh Khan has been the luckiest TV star in Bollywood," says this ardent Abhishek Bachchan fan.
So, what are her plans for the future? "How much of the future can you really plan?" she shoots back with a smile adding, "You can only invest in the future by working hard today.
So I am concentrating on my upcoming show for now." How's that for being focused
