Behere points out that it was not the lack of offers from Hindi TV that kept her away: “I was offered bigger shows than what I’m doing now. But back then, I didn’t feel like doing TV [irrespective of the industry].”

On whether she regrets the decision, she says, “Sometimes, I do think, if I had done that show or this show, I’d have been somewhere else [in my career].”

She adds, “I said no to big shows, as I was focused on Marathi films. I always wanted to do films, which is why I quit Pavitra Rishta (too). But there is no regret.”

Talking about her stint in the Marathi industry, Behere says, “When I started doing Marathi films, I was getting good mileage here. I was offered good shows, but I never wanted to do TV.”

However, it was the pandemic and two years of no work for several actors that prompted her to take up a Marathi daily. The Mitwaa actor recalls, “Due to Covid-19, everyone’s lives changed. That is when I started doing TV [again]. I wanted my fans to stay connected to me. And I was offered a prominent role in this show. So, this happened suddenly.”
