'I can do comedy better'-Tanaz

One sees you doing more of comedy and not much of the other kind of serials on air. Why so?
Well, I end up doing a lot of comedies but I have also done a Swabhiman, Yeh Meri Life Hai etc and films which have had no comic element in them. I try to be as much innovative as I can. Also somehow I feel justice is not done to the females in comedy however situational comedy is fun to watch and also to perform. I am an actress and I like doing challenging roles also I think I can carry out such comic roles better than the other people so I am offered such roles. I am liking the kind of roles I am getting and I think they are interesting enough.

You are now doing Fooltu Pagal Hai for Zee Smile, whats ur role like and

what made you take it up?
It was a Ravi Rai comedy and it's a fun team to work with.I liked the role, it's a cute role and I have worked with him previously in Gopaljee. I play the main Doctor in the hospital called Dr Marry who speaks Hindi and Urdu and always says a wrong word for the correct thing. It's a little over the top and realistic comedy with juicy bits and the chemistry is very good between the characters.

What are your future projects in hand right now?
I am doing a stand up comedy called Comedy Ghanta for Zee Smile where I play a weather girl who has immense attitude and talks about everything but the weather. Besides this I am doing theatre and films like 36 China Town and Rangeen.

What kind of a bond do you share with your teenage daughter?
I am like a friend to my daughter and she respects me for that. We share almost everything about our lives with each other. I just let her make her own decisions and give her space as that's how it was between me and my mother. Even though I know its not easy for a mother to do so while she's growing up.

Are you are seeing someone?
No, I am not seeing anyone now.
