After doing fiction series "Gulaal", Mansi Parekh returns to the small screen as co-host of "Funtakshari". The actress says that she accepted the game show because she is passionate about music and likes variety in her work.

"When I became the winner of 'Star Ya Rockstar', I was very happy because people knew me as an actor, but that day I became a singer also. I am also doing a musical play which opened last month in Globe Theater in London, " said Manasi, who is married to singer Parthiv Gohil.

When asked what will she prefer acting or singing, she told: "I would choose art and life. Acting and singing are a part of art. An actor has the name due to its work. I love to spread my thoughts to the public.

She mader her acting debut with "Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi", but became popular with "India Calling".

Manasi will co-host "Funtakshari" with Ali Asgar and the format will allow both - children and adults - to participate together in it.

"Not only the name, even the concept is full of fun. 'Funtakshri' is a game where family would participate. Nowadays, children are more into technology, Facebook and Twitter, but this game will let the children know about the antakshari, " she said adding that "antakshari was the game" that their "ancestors" used to play do during their free time.
