Trust a TV show to take a 180 degree turn when it comes to the profile of it's characters (positive to negative and vice versa). The latest actor to feel the pinch is Malini Kapoor, who plays the role of the sacrificing sister Zeenat in Sahara One's Muslim show Zaara. As Malini states, "Initially me, myself had forced my husand, Amir (Jatin Grewal) to marry my sister Zaara (Samiksha), as I could not conceive. But now thanks to the machination of Gul phupi (Shagufta Ali), I fallaciously start suspecting that Zara is trying to ease me out of Amir's life. The fact that both of us are also pregnant (how convenient) is making me even more insecure." On a diplomatic note, she adds, "Although I personally find these sudden twists and turns weird, we have to succumb to it, for we are actors and possibly the audience too likes these masala changes. Who would find a normal life entertaining? This actor from Kolkata debuted on DD with Hawayein, another Muslim social and later went on to do roles in Saathiya, Dekho Magar Pyar Se, Sindoor, and Kumkum. She believes that she has been jinxed with most of her above mentioned roles (except Hawyein), which got a good start, but later petered out. "Hence the fact people now remember me as Zeenat is a very good feeling," she says with a smile. What's the weirdest aspect about the change of your portrayal in Zaara? The toughest part has been screaming at Samiksha (who plays Zaara) for we are like sisters. She further refused to speculate on where the story might go from here, "I would love it, if they made my character have an extra martial affair, but I doubt it as I am shown to be very devoted to Amir."(How sad!) If given a chance this, English honors graduate, would love to do something like Divvya Dutta did in Kadamb, "Man that role was superb, for it gave the actress the chance to portray a large variety of characters in a single show. What about Bollywood? "I am not in favour of those typical jhatak matak roles, but if something good in the form of an offbeat role comes along, I would be more than game". Point noted!
