Shararat fame Shruti Seth is all set to make her comeback on SAB TV's comedy show TV, Biwi Aur Main opposite Karan Veer Mehra says, "The fact that I was needed for 20 days a month was the biggest lure for me. Being a mother, I don’t want to stay away from my daughter for long. I wanted to return to TV for a while but nothing substantial came my way."
On doing dramatic shows? she said, "I did get a call to be part of a mythological show where they wanted me to be the mother of Lord Ganesh. I turned them down (laughs). I am past my prime and won’t be doing a daily soap as a lead. When I clarify that I won’t give up my life for a show, I get calls for ‘pivotal roles’ or negative roles. But these don’t interest me either as I am scared of the number of days needed in a month to shoot or the location, which requires a lot of commutes. That’s why I am glad that comedy has adopted me and I plan to stay adopted."
When Shruti was asked if she watches any Indian shows, Shruti said, "I don’t enjoy watching most of Indian TV as it is not my cup of tea. I am not for unrealistic hyper-drama. I would like to see shows from different genres like thrillers and legal dramas without turning everything into a saas-bahu show. I have seen many shows start off well with great intentions but soon come back to saas-bahu. I remember the TV shows made by Aditya Chopra’s production company were so relatable and well-written. We need to have the patience to see things through but most producers and channels get nervous very quickly. If there are no immediate results, people panic, and turn to tried-and-tested formulas."
