Monisha Sarabhai a popular character from "Sarabhai vs Sarabhai" played by tele actress Rupali Ganguly who became famous for her trait for bargaining and speaking in an excessively loud tone.
Speaking about the web series, "I'm a bargain queen from my childhood. I bargain even in departmental stores to get special discount on their 'best prize'! I mean why should the corporate companies make all the money (laughs)? "
After my marriage, I mellowed down a little as I stopped bargaining with vegetable vendors on streets, but otherwise I am Monisha in real life."
When she was asked if she finds it risky at times, she responded, "We are making fun of high society as well as of the middle class. But we all know that such characters exist, so we should take it easy and have the ability to make fun of ourselves."
However, she is facing the camera after four years, on which, she said, "I was 83 kg after pregnancy and my children (two sons) are my priority. So when we finally decided to do a second season of the show, my challenge was to reduce my weight. I do not look the same on screen now. So, I was a little conscious about that."
When asked she plans to continue working as an actress, "If something interesting comes my way and the producer will provide me a time slot were I do not have to compromise on my children as they are very young, then I am ready to act... Wait, does it sound demanding? It's just that my kids are my priority," she said.
