“I am very choosy, so I end up doing fewer films. But I love acting and all I want to do is work, work and work. But the lack of good roles is holding me back.

Her next projects is a film called Listen Amaya, where she will star opposite Farooq Shaikh. The film is directed by Avinash Kumar Singh. She was also seen in a TV show called Mukti Bandhan a while ago. Are more TV shows in the offing? “I don’t want to play a typical character on TV. I would like to do a progressive role —something that would be exciting for me.”
