Mumbai Aug 10 (IANS) National Award winning actress Tanvi Azmi who is making her comeback on the small screen after a decade says her show "Vani Rani" will strike a chord with the audience.
"Vani Rani" which started airing on the small screen from August 7 is the Hindi remake of a popular Tamil show of the same name. Radikaa Sarathkumar plays the double role in the Tamil show.
Asked if she feels the Hindi remake will be able to strike a chord with the Hindi audience Tanvi told IANS here: "100 per cent it will. Why won t it? Of course it will".
Talking about the &TV show Tanvi said: "I haven t seen the original show. I have just seen snippets of it when the makers approached me for the show. So that s the only thing I have seen because I don t want to get consciously influenced by the original show as I feel that as an actor I have a different way of functioning."
She is hopeful the Hindi show is "as successful if not more".
"We are reaching out to a wider audience so maybe we would do well also " she added.
Tanvi was last seen on the small screen in 2007 in the show "Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka".
Asked what kept her away from the small screen for almost a decade she said: "Well I think the quality of work that was being offered to me didn t really excite me. I was wanting to get to a space which was creatively satisfying for me. So I had felt that television sometimes restricts you from doing that because the pace is so fast."
"It s all about how well you can remember your lines and how fast you can deliver your lines... So that as an actor is not satisfying for me. And so I needed something more to come back on TV."
