Saakshi regarding the film; following are the impressions of the conversation-
Tell us something about your film "Coffee House", what is the story about?
The story of the film is about a coffee house and groups of different people but because they all come to the coffee
house they have a sort of relation with each other.It depicts youth, unemployed, retired and old age people. The film
has feelings, humor, pain and joy which will make the audience search for few answers in their own lives.
Ashutosh Rana is also there in this film with you?
Yes, he is there. He plays the role of my husband. It was great working with him and I got to learn many things from
him.
Tell us something about director Gurbir?
I had known Gurbir ji since the time I started my career, I had also worked in his popular serial "Neem Ka Ped" on
Doordarshan. Gurbir ji was nominated for Videocon Awards for best director for the same. Gurbir ji is my mentor and
we share disciple relation and by working in his film I will repay my debt of Gratitude to him.
How was the experience ruling the small screen for 8 years?
It was great When I started I never thought that people will like the Character of Parvati so much. Together with the
character of Parvati I felt and learnt about different relationships too.
Are you working in any Daily soap?
No, right now I am not working in any soap because I have no interest doing same kind of role.
What kind of character you would like to play?
I have done lots of roles that portrait sadness now I want to play some romantic comedy roles.
Now day there is a boom of TV serials and reality show but you are not seen in any of them. Why?
I am not comfortable with the dance shows but I really have an interest in comedy show.
Except "Coffee House" which all films you are doing?

In "Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki" you lived the emotions of a wife, so any such intentions in real life?
Well there are, but as we all say "everything happens by god's grace" so he must have kept something good for me.
