Samiksha Jung, a.k.a Zaara, of 'Zaara' fame has quit the Sahara One show. Apparently, she was uncomfortable with the generation leap that the story has taken, like most serials.

According to her, she wanted to leave the show in December last year, but stayed on because the producer requested her to do so till they found a suitable replacement. And now, Sonia Kapoor plays the title role.

"The only reason I took up 'Zaara' was that I wanted to try out a different medium," says Samiksha, who has starred in a number of films down South.

She does not think that this stint with television will harm her film prospects. "Sahara One is not really a happening channel, and 'Zaara', being a Muslim social, had limited viewership," she says.

She adds that she is not interested in television at present, but will consider participating in a reality show.

Samiksha will be seen opposite Chandrachur Singh in an untitled Hindi movie next. "It is his (Chandrachur's) comeback vehicle.

The film deals with a Rajasthani royal family, and has horror and sorcery in the backdrop," she says, adding, "I play a family girl in this movie, which also stars Sushmita Mukherjee as the main vamp."

Wearing short clothes and running around trees is not a problem for her. "I am quite like that in real life, and wearing sarees for 'Zaara' was quite difficult," she laughs.
