She
is quite content and happy playing the parallel
lead in Zee's daily Jab Love Hua
but what's irking Monaz Mevewalla is the
hearsay that her show is being pulled off.

"I agree that the TRPs are not high,
but the channel is responsible for the same
as they, unfortunately, are not giving the
show the due publicity. To make matters
worse the repeated time slot changes (currently
11 pm slot) have impaired the situation,
"claims this Parsi babe who debuted
on television with Zee's Kitty Party.
Changing tracks and venturing into positive
talks she says, "Since my character
Isha is pretty mod she is hell bent on giving
her a husband Bhola (Rahul Lohani) an image
make-over. Currently she is teaching him
angrezee."
Monaz has very fond memories of her recently
ended show Rishton Ki Dor, "I
loved playing the young serious rebel. Initially
I was supposed to do only a cameo but because
of public appreciation my role was elongated."
Ask her about her career plans she is quick
to respond, "I am totally game for
playing the docile suffering bahu in family
dramas. If the audience likes to watch such
stuff, who are we to oppose?" (Smart
gal!) Comedy is another genre which Monaz
loves, "I really enjoyed my stint on
the Great Indian Comedy Show (Star One).
"I would also love to play grayish
shades. Let's face it; nobody in life can
be totally black or white". (Now the
girl's become mature!)
This actor-cum-trained dancer (she was a
part of Shiamak Dawar's troupe) has big
screen aspirations too. "It's the logical
next step don't you agree! However I would
not like to do two-bit roles as some of
my TV colleagues are doing." Would
you be comfortable running around trees
in next to nothing outfits? "Though
I am very comfortable with my body, but
what you just mentioned is not my cup of
tea. Rather, I would prefer cross-over cinema
I am actor, hence would like to do films
which showcase my talent and not just skin."
Saying this Monaz has surely sent the right
feelers for her takers.
