For Nausheen Ali Sardar, the TV soap "Kkusum" is a thing of the past.

After living the character of Kkusum for three years, Nausheen has moved on to greener pastures. She is acting in a Hindi play "Kusum Manohar Lele" and has even shot for a Pakistani soap called "Ana" (Ego).

Now back where she truly belongs and looking slimmer and nicer, the actress is looking forward to her, not one but three, new avatars in Star Plus' "Kaal Chakra".

It's obvious that Nausheen has got a meaty part to dig into but ask her more and she gives us that 'wait and watch' smile. Mohnish Behl, Mukul Dev and another actor called Manav will play her co-stars.

"All I can say is that this show is a challenging piece of work for me. I get to play every conceivable emotion. I even play a completely negative character. The names of my three characters are Rashmi, Tania and Nisha. That's it, please don't ask me more," she laughs.

What she is willing to reveal is her fondness for the character of Kkusum that she lived for three years.

"When Ekta Kapoor offered me 'Kkusum', I didn't realise I was getting an opportunity to play someone who was pretty close to me in real life. Also, in the three years I was part of it, it was fun to play her, portray the different kind of emotions Kkusum went through."

"The entire unit had become my family who I saw and met for 30 days a month, every month! The decision to quit was a tough one but I had to because it was the right career move to make at that time and that's what I did. However, given a great role, I'd still happily work for her."

Nausheen, who has showcased her talent through ads - "modelling from the age of 16, music videos and serials, is looking forward to some "great films".

"I think filmmakers are wary about casting me because they wonder whether I have any time at all and am busy with TV. Since earlier it was a daily show I didn't have enough time to accommodate a film but now since 'Kaal Chakra' is a weekly show, I have time on hand.

"Yes, I want to do films. I am a major film buff and the big screen is something that clearly fascinates me. Give me a good role and I will do complete justice to it. I will put my heart and soul to it."

Nausheen says she would love to work with the Yashraj, Varma Corp and Rajshri banners.
