Priya Ahuja played the part of Rita reporter in the television series Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) a few years ago before quitting acting to concentrate on her personal life. Priya is eager to return to television three years later and is presently hoping that the right opportunity will present itself soon. In any case, she continues to be a part of Taarak Mehta and declares that if her path opens up, she would be delighted to return as Rita reporter. I haven't left the show, the actress asserts. Given how infrequently I've appeared on Taarak Mehta, people might assume that I've given up.

There hasn't been a plot line or episode of mine that would have allowed the creators to bring me back.

Priya believes that because she could give her child her full attention during the break, it was necessary. "I'm happy that I have a place to call home and have never had to worry about money, even when I decided not to work. The actress, who has appeared in shows like Zara and Kumkum, explains that she had previously worked and had saved money. Of course, her husband and director Malav (Rajda) had also been working. "Azaad, my son, is now 2.5 years old. I can resume acting now that he has a little more maturity and is enrolled in playschool. Since I haven't worked for the past three years, I have a strong desire to appear on television. Because my husband helps with the care of our infant as well, I am able to balance my responsibilities as a mother and my job, she says.

Priya has begun applying for other shows, and she doesn't mind taking on roles that are her age or even older if the character is compelling. I don't have a problem revealing that I am 37, she says. I don't mind portraying a mother in a movie as long as the role is interesting. Although I am aware that some actresses are uncomfortable playing mothers on screen, this depends on the individual. I have no objections to that.
