You did a vanishing act after Viraasat ended on Star Plus.
I was around, but not working. I travelled and spent a lot of time with my family. Actually, I just did- n't feel like working because I had been continuously working like a machine and felt sleep deprived.
There are too many new leading ladies on the scene. Threatened?
No, because people still love me and want me to come back.
Do you feel you made the most of your time when you were among the top leading ladies?
No. I still have to make some more. The kind of work I'm being offered now shows that a lot of people miss me on screen. My days are not over yet.
What happened to your movie debut, Bhanwra?
I don't know what is happening about it now. I completed my work on it long ago.
Zara Nachke Dikha features item-dancers like motor-mouth Rakhi Sawant. How do you get along with someone like her?
Everyone has his or her personality. I'm not on the show to make friends with Rakhi or anyone else. It's a challenge for me because I have hosted reality shows, but never participated in one. This is my chance. I love the concept too.
In the last season, when the boys lost to the girls, they couldn't handle their defeat.
The girls even in this season are more prepared because they are mentally strong.
We are at least not trying to prove that men are weak. I also have a father and brother at home. I can't go home and fight with them. All of us enjoy ourselves.
