The veteran actress, Navni Parihar is back on television in a brand new avatar. She’ll be seen as the mother- in- law of the main protagonist on Sony’s Babul Ka Aangann Chootey Na.

“It feels good to be back after four and a half years. The whole scenario has changed and I’m trying my best to cope up with the fast growing industry,” says Navni.

What took her so long to come back? “There was nothing exciting for me to do on the small screen. I used to get offers but nothing exciting. I was looking out for some different and Babul Ka Aangann… has it. I’m back because acting is my passion. Making money is my husband’s job,” she says.

“Another reason for waiting for so long was that I was not prepared for daily soaps. This trend has just begun. During my time they used to have weeklies and it was much better. Now it’s more of a race,” she adds.

What was the reason for taking up this show? “I was carried away with the concept of the show. Babul Ka Aangann… is a story of girl who is stuck between her maternal and marital home. Now the question arises of whom to choose. This is different and people can relate to this,” she utters.

Explaining about her character she says, “It’s a positive character where a mother-in-law understands the situation of her daughter-in-law (Aastha) but at the same time she has to think about her other family members also. As the story unfolds you’ll come to know what happens next in Aastha’s life.”

Now as Navni has made a comeback on small screen, is she ready to jump in for reality shows? “As a viewer I like to watch reality shows, but when it comes to participating I really can’t be sure. As of now I’m very content,” she concludes.
