"Jhalak..." went on air June 1 and Meghna calls the experience "lovely" and "different from the acting work that I have been doing".
"I am finding myself in a completely different space. I am struggling with my feet and the floor. I am struggling with the lip sync of the songs, which is a tough part in the performances. It is a different form for me as an artist to express myself," she said.
Meghna's role as mean "Ammaji" in the TV "Na Aana Is Des Laado" used to send shivers down the spine and she admits her character was beyond age and gender.
"When I started working on it, I felt that it is different and I wanted to keep it different. There was a huge effort involved to keep it different," Meghna told in an interview .
"By the standards of daily soap, it was an interesting character which came across. For me, the age or the gender didn't matter. Ammaji was beyond age and gender. It didn't bore me in three and a half years of the show," she added.
Getting her teeth into the role of merciless matriarch, who wipes out those who tries to oppose her decision to kill Female foeticide, was indeed a mental and physical struggle for her.
"A lot of physical strength and mental strength was required to be consistent in that body language...she had big dialogues to speak and that was quite a task for me," she said.
She had earlier appeared in shows like "Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi", "Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai", "Tujko Hai Salaam Zindgi" and "Kagaz Ki Kashtti", but got her due after playing Ammaji.
She feels the TV industry has a limited range of characters.
"TV has limited choices for the artists. The range of characters are limited. You don't have much around to play and experiment with," said the actress, who feels daily soap characters don't have power to influence an actor's personal life in any way.
"The daily soap characters are not that can influence your personal life. Being part of a project where the character becomes so popular that experience makes you different as a person. You grow as an actor. You don't take the character home, it does not work like that," he said.
