| | | Comeback kid: Simone Singh | Simone Singh is back on the small screen. She'll soon be seen in Ravi Chopra's Viraasat. However, it's surprising that she returns by replacing Pooja Ghai Rawal's Anushka Lamba, a supporting character in the show. Of course, Simone is blissfully unaware that she's been away long enough to qualify as a comeback kid.
The actress is excited about her association with Viraasat. So, what made her agree to be a part of this show, especially when she will play a supporting character? "I have heard rave reviews about the show and the production house is highly reputed. So, when they approached me, I was eager to be a part of their family," she says.
The actress has no qualms about being a replacement. She continues, "When they approached me, the first thing I asked was that they give me a sketch of my character. And they explained to me that Anushka Lamba is one of the four primary characters in the serial. It's neither positive nor negative. This will be something different for me as an actress. I have been assured that my character will be portrayed the way they have explained it to me."
Anushka's character was never given much importance in the publicity or promos. "I haven't noticed the hoardings. Nor have I seen the serial. I know that my character is strong and that's what made me sign on the dotted line," she says.
The actress, however, refuses to believe that she is making a comeback on television. She says, "I was never out of television. I was just not in a mood to act in daily serials, so I skipped it for some time. I did not act in any daily soap after Kashish because working 24/7 is not my cup of tea. In between, I also experimented with other aspects like theatre, which gave me immense creative satisfaction."
Any other projects on the anvil? "I have two films, Bhram and Delhi Heights, releasing very soon. I always do one show at a time; so no more shows for me right now," she says.
