Monica
Bedi,
seen
in
a
negative
role
in
TV
serial
Saraswatichandra,
is
amazed
at
the
kind
of
love
and
recognition
television
is
fetching
her.
Saraswatichandra,
which
comes
on
Star
Plus
and
Doordarshan,
is
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
production.
"I
knew
that
television
had
grown
tremendously
and
you
become
a
household
name.
TV
is
very
important
and
very
big.
It's
the
best
way
to
reach
the
hearts
of
audiences,
people
are
addicted
to
serials," she
said.
The
35-year-old
was
speaking
Thursday
on
the
sidelines
of
All
India
Achievers
awards
said,
"I
never
knew
that
you
get
so
much
love,
your
work
is
noticed
so
fast,
and
you
start
getting
awards,"
she
added.
Bollywood
starlet
Monica's
journey
on
the
small
screen
started
with
Bigg
Boss
2.
The
reality
show
marked
a
new
beginning
for
the
actress
who
was
extradited
along
with
gangster
Abu
Salem
from
Portugal
in
2005
and
lodged
in
jail
in
a
fake
passport
case.
Before
that,
Monica
had
worked
in
films
like
Aashique
Mastane,
Surakshaa,
Jaanam
Samjha
Karo,
Jodi
No
1,
and
Pyaar
Ishq
Aur
Mohabbat.
Now,
once
again
she
is
keen
to
do
something
in
Bollywood.
"I
am
getting
a
lot
of
offers
for
serials,
but
right
now
I
am
concentrating
on
this
(Saraswatichandra)
and
it
is
very
time
consuming.
Besides
this,
I
would
like
to
do
something
in
Bollywood
next,"
Monica
said.
"There
is
a
very
nice
script
and
I
hope
the
movie
takes
off.
It's
a
thriller
and
again
my
role
is
something
very
challenging,"
she
added.
