Your chemistry with co-star Mandar Chandwadkar is being liked by the viewers. How is it working with him?

We share a good bond and know each other since our theatre days. We have also worked together on Zee TV’s parivaar. We also complement each other on screen.

Apart from being busy with the show, what do you like doing in your free time?

I like writing. I have written two good stories; I keep on doing some or the other creative thing, which keeps my mind fresh and busy.

Will the audience see you in any other show soon?

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is my first priority right now. I am concentrating on this show only.

In real life do you enjoy cooking?

Yes, I do enjoy cooking and love trying different recipes. I cook whenever I am at home.

If not an actor, what would you be?

I would have been a fashion designer! I was pursuing a course in fashion designing when I was in college. But, when I started my career in theatre and acting, I hardly got the time to attend the designing classes. Also, it was a bit difficult for me to handle both professions at the same.

Any message for your fans?

I think laughter is a medicine. I am happy that I am part of a serial that makes the family sit together, eat together and laugh together.
