Arti Singh who is all set to play the lead in a show Waaris will be seen playing the role of a mother.

About her role, she stated, "The concept is interesting. Also, since it was important to be counted as a lead actor, the age of the character wasn't a priority. My focus is to play central characters."

She also said, "Ironically, I arrived in the industry before my brother Krushna and cousin Ragini, but I have been the last to reach this level."

Arti about her mother said, "My maa died after giving birth to me. While my brother Krushna stayed with my father in Mumbai, I moved to Lucknow after I was adopted by my mother's sister-in-law. I could never get the love of my biological parents. It made me bitter, but I love my foster mother unconditionally. She has never made me feel that I am not her biological child. I am lucky to have a mom like her."

On sharing her childhood pictures, she said, "I developed several complexes while visiting Krushna, Ragini and Tina (Govinda's daughter) as a child. I had an awful fashion sense and couldn't speak in English, something they were fluent in. There was a wide gap between us. I would often feel like the odd one out with them. Also, I wasn't too well off and had to make do with whatever we could afford."

On being sister of Ragini and Krushna, she said, "From being pushed out of the frame by media as they wanted to click the more popular siblings -Krushna and Ragini, I am now acknowledged as his sister. Haven't I come a long way? My brother is everything for me and I am his only family. It would have been difficult to survive in Mumbai without his support."

On mimicking Govinda by Krushna, Arti said, "People expect Abu (Krushna) to imitate mama. Still, no one should make fun of stalwarts. I told Abu to apologise to mama as soon as I learnt about him being upset. Chi Chi mama has done so much for us that we shouldn't even think of hurting him. He is a father figure and we earned a great deal of respect even before entering the industry because we belonged to his family. That can't be forgotten."

On her relationship status, she said, "I have told my mom to find a groom for me. In fact, I never wanted to act. My sole ambition in life was to get married and have kids, but destiny brought me here. An actor proposed to me in January, but when I asked him to wait for two months, he moved on (laughs). People have no patience nowadays. This profession doesn't give you time for your personal life. I want to get married now and have babies. I might not continue acting after that."
