Mumbai July 20 (IANS) Gulfam Khan known for acting in shows like "Naamkarann" and "Khwaabon Ki Zamin Par" says had she not been an actress she would have been a painter or a fine artist.
Gulfam said in a statement: "Reading and painting have always been my interests... whether it s painting recycling or artwork. Had I not been an actor or writer I would have definitely been a painter or a fine artist. Painting kind of unwinds me. I get lost in the colours and forms. Books have also been my companions."
But she didn t pick up her first book out of interest.
"Since I was in class five my first book was Rumpelstiltskin . My teacher had forced it on me because I would refuse to communicate. Since then I am addicted to books. I carry at least one book on the set " she said.
"That was one of the things that helped me to bond with Reema ji (late actress Reema Lagoo) " she added.
