Tellychakkar got in touch with the actress and asked her if she would ever return to television and the difficulty was the shift from television to movies.  

Do you ever feel like doing a television show today?

I don't think so; I look back on it fondly, but I don't think I miss anything, as I enjoy the process of making a movie because after one movie you do another, so I like that more. 

How difficult was it for you to shift from television to movies as the fan base on television is huge?

I was too young then, and it was tough for me to take it all in. The responsibility was big, and to understand all of that, but at the same time, you are learning what the process of acting is and having a telecast for five or six days in a week is different. Though I was enjoying it and getting tired of learning all of this at once. It was just a matter of something so amazing coming to me, just out of the blue. I was part of my show "Kasam Se" for two years, but it feels like I was on television for a long time, and the love of fans is so precious. That is the beauty of television, where all the fans connect with you in such a short time and remain with you for life. 

Do you still get fan mails?

Yes, I do. I get surprised, like in countries like South Africa, etc., when you visit the fans and the people out there call me by my character "Bani" from the serial. Even though they don't know the language they recognize you for the role that one has played. 

Well, the fans are super excited to see her in Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout
