A still from the show Laut Aao Trisha
Mumbai:
Actress Bhagyashree says she does not foresee herself doing run-of-the-mill roles but playing meaningful characters in the future.
The actress is making a comeback to the small screen with thriller TV show Laut Aao Trisha, airing on channel Life Ok.
"There are very few films like English Vinglish that are being made (for older actresses). Though new kind of cinema is being made today, after a certain age actresses are relegated to playing a mother or 'bhabhi'. This is something I don't foresee myself doing," Bhagyashree said in an interview here.
The actress is keen to do powerful and substantial roles, be it in films or on TV, like the one of Kirron Kher in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas.
"The length of the role doesn't matter. It has to be a substantial role. I would like to play character roles and it should excite me," she said.
Best remembered for her role as 'Suman' opposite Salman in 1989 blockbuster Maine Pyar Kiya, Bhagyashree did not miss being in front of the camera. (Also Read: Bhagyashree says she was always close to her fans)
"I haven't been really out of it (work). I worked in couple of south Indian films and also did some international projects. I was not there (on screen) constantly as I had family and children to look after," she added.
Bhagyashree, who started her acting career with the TV show Kachchi Dhoop, said she is happy to get back to work on TV and hopes the show does well.
"I liked the story of the show. It is different from what you usually see on TV. It is a very socially relevant issue. It is important that things come out and people discuss about it," she said.The show Laut Aao Trisha is an intriguing story that deals with in-family crimes. Bhagyashree plays the role of a mother, Amrita Swaikar, who begins a quest to search for her missing daughter, Trisha.
Like every mother, Bhagyashree too has certain kind of fear when it comes to her two children.
"Definitely there is a fear. I have brought up my son and daughter with equal consideration. Both have restrictions over staying out late or staying somewhere overnight. But there is a certain safety concern when it comes to a girl," she added.
