Mumbai June 19 (IANS) Actress Apara Mehta who famously played Savita Mansukh Virani in the iconic Hindi television show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi says there should be a balance between men and women in small screen entertainers.
Asked if she feels the small screen is too women dominated Apara told IANS: Yes it has to be balanced... That is for a fact because it cannot be women-centric only.
But for us actors most of us are not going to work in films at this point... Whatever films I did were for different reasons. One was Devdas . When Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself calls you you don t ask any questions. The last I did was with Farah Khan in Tees Maar Khan ... So unless there is meat in a role...
The actress who has been a part of the small screen industry for over two decades says there s a lot for women to do in TV shows.
We are getting so much of meat and content... So why should I give up that content? Whether it has to be women-centric or not... that is something that needs to be a little balanced somewhere down the line she added.
Apara is currently a part of Bakula Bua Ka Bhoot which airs on &TV.
