Television hasn’t changed much in terms of characters. However, Rakesh Paswan is a good old friend and this character is in stark contrast to the characters I have played so far. I want to dress up as a Bihari lady, wearing heavy saris and jewellery—so the background, regional influences and my style will all be different in this soap. Also, switching from Gujarati to Bihari would be interesting. In addition, the theme of this soap opera is girl education, which is why I like this soap opera. ”
