| 'I
will only do 'Kkusum' when my track gets a little decent'- Narayani Shastri
Tashu
bua, aka, Narayani Shastri seems to be a discontented lady. Her track in Balaji's
Kkusum, is going nowhere, Narayani
Shastri: give me more! |
and
the lady has decided to stay away from shooting for a while. "Yes,
I have stopped shooting for Kkusum, since my track wasn't going anywhere. The
last meeting that I had with Ekta, I decided that until something decent comes
up, I will not re-enter the show," confirmed Narayani. Waiting
for something interesting to come up on Kkusum, Narayani says that she
doesn't put too much of thought into her roles and how they shape up --- "My
only criteria is that when the script is narrated to me, it should sound interesting
I leave the thinking to the creative team," she says with a laugh, when we
ask her if she has thought about how her track could be made exciting. However,
Narayani has no problems with her other show, Zee's Piya Ka Ghar, where
she plays both mother and daughter. "The track in Piya
is really
interesting, and there are many shades that I can play. It gives me a lot of creative
satisfaction," says Narayani. Coming
back to the crux of our conversation, we ask her, if she has quit Kkusum, for
good --- "I haven't quit Kkusum, nor have I moved out, I am taking a break
for some time, but I will come back only when something interesting happens,"
says Narayani, who made her dissatisfaction with the show clear. Meanwhile,
in Kkusum, the lead seems to have vanished into thin air. Even Narayani
will be out of the scene, now that her character has been caught red-handed causing
trouble in Kkusum's household. With Nausheen's absence, from the show, the TRP's
had taken a plunge, and now in what seems to be a last ditch effort, Balaji has
roped in Shilpa Saklani to play the lead. Will Shilpa be the saving grace for
Ekta? Only time will tell! |
