Kavita
Kaushik
is
happy
with
her
share
in
the
television
industry.
More
so
now,
since
hit
serial
FIR
has
returned
for
a
second
season
on
SAB
TV.
The
tall
actress
talks
about
the
character
of
a
funny
Haryanvi
cop
she
plays
on
the
show
and
how
TV
content
has
changed
over
the
years.
Will
the
second
season
of
FIR
be
different?
No,
it
will
be
the
same.
Changes
are
brought
about
only
when
things
don't
work
out.
By
God's
grace,
FIR
is
rocking
now.
In
fact,
I
would
call
it
one
of
the
best
comedy
shows
on
television.
The
characters
of
Chandramukhi
Chautala,
Hanuman
Prasad
and
Gulgule
are
really
sweet,
innocent
and
lovable.
Don't
you
think
that
sometimes
the
humour
on
FIR
goes
below
the
belt?
Our
comedy
is
meant
for
the
family
audience.
In
fact,
when
we
improvise
and
try
to
add
something
even
slightly
improper,
the
director
screams
'cut'.
How
do
you
like
playing
the
Jat
inspector,
Chandramukhi,
on
the
show?
Initially,
the
creative
team
wanted
me
to
play
a
no-nonsense
cop.
But
I
suggested
this
fun-loving,
romantic,
Haryanvi
cop.
No
actress
has
played
a
similar
role
before.
Our
gamble
paid
off,
people
really
love
the
rustic
antics
of
Chandramukhi
Chautala.
Given
our
cultural
sensibilities
do
you
think
that
a
woman
chasing
a
man
will
work?
God,
times
have
changed!
Today's
woman
knows
what
she
wants
and
will
go
for
it.
What's
wrong
in
pursuing
the
man
you
truly
love?
It
is
definitely
better
then
indulging
in
kitchen
politics.
Will
Chandramukhi
finally
get
Hanuman
Prasad
in
Season
II
of
FIR?
If
the
twain
shall
meet
the
show
will
come
to
an
end.
But
the
audiences
are
surely
looking
forward
to
see
us
come
together.
The
imposter
Hanuman
Prasad
is
already
in
love
with
me.
But
he
cannot
say
so
openly
as
that
will
expose
him.
You
have
done
many
other
serials
before,
but
playing
a
lead
is
a
different
ball
game
in
terms
of
publicity.
I
really
don't
care
much
for
TRP
ratings.
People
still
remember
my
work
in
CID,
Kesar
and
Tumhari
Disha.
You
don't
seem
too
enthusiastic
about
playing
lead
roles
on
major
channels.
The
main
drawback
of
doing
a
major
daily
is
after
it's
over,
the
audience
doesn't
accept
you
in
some
other
role.
I
cannot
live
with
this
stagnation.
What's
your
take
on
today's
TV
content?
It's
very
regressive.
What
really
annoys
me
is
that
these
days,
we
don't
even
have
real
actors,
but
people
who
just
parrot
lines.
There
is
too
much
emphasis
on
facial
expressions.
Can't
we
show
real-life
situations
where
the
vamps
do
big
damage
with
a
sweet
smile?
Rank
your
best
work
to
date?
Tigmanshu
Dhulia's
Woh
Dus
Din,
a
Star
One
telefilm,
is
surely
my
best
work
to
date.
Whenever
the
reruns
are
aired,
people
still
call
me
up
and
praise
my
character
of
an
inspector,
Padmalaxmi.
Is
there
anything
else
on
the
cards?
There's
a
travel
show,
Musafir
Hoon
Yaaron,
with
Deepti
Bhatnagar.
We
had
a
whale
of
a
time
traveling
across
Italy
on
a
beautiful
cruise.
Your
equation
with
boyfriend
Karan
Grower?
Love
is
really
beautiful.
As
for
marriage,
it's
too
early.
Our
careers
have
just
started.
We
don't
want
to
be
like
other
couples
who
just
do
a
Nach
Balliye
and
then
get
married.
