Popular
TV
actress
Mahi
Vij
feels
the
'saas-bahu'
shows
will
continue
to
rule
the
small
screen
primarily
because
of
its
demand.
"I
think
the
'saas-bahu'
format
shows
are
here
to
stay.
If
I
would
have
been
the
head
of
a
channel
I
would
put
my
money
on
such
shows
as
that
is
what
is
working.
Women
at
home
love
to
see
such
shows.
There
are
new
kinds
of
shows
that
have
come
up
but
some
have
fallen
flat
in
three
months," Mahi
told
in
an
interview.
The
actress,
popular
for
her
role
of
Nakusha
in
'Laagi
Tujhse
Lagan',
is
in
no
hurry
to
do
a
daily
soap
until
something
different
and
exciting
come
her
way.
"There
is
nothing
exciting
happening
on
TV.
I
am
looking
for
novelty.
I
want
to
focus
on
quality
and
not
quantity.
I
don't
have
to
do
anything
on
TV
just
for
the
heck
of
it.
I
have
a
husband
who
takes
care
of
the
house,
I
don't
have
to
work
for
it," Mahi
said.
Mahi
was
recently
seen
in
the
role
of
a
gangster
in
crime
series
'Encounter' on
small
screen.
"It
is
nice
that
crime
shows
are
coming
on
TV.
It
is
informative
for
the
audience
about
what
is
happening
in
the
society,"
she
said.
The
episode
depicted
the
tale
of
an
aspiring
actress
Aashna,
who
runs
away
from
her
home
to
become
the
first
woman
gangster
in
the
history
of
underworld.
"We
don't
see
actresses
getting
to
play
this
strong
role
of
a
gangster
often.
I
thought
it
was
a
good
opportunity
to
try
something
new," she
said.
Mahi's
husband,
TV
personality
Jay
Bhanushali,
is
set
to
make
his
big
screen
debut
with
'Hate
Story
2'.
"I
am
really
happy
for
him.
All
my
good
wishes
are
with
the
film
and
I
hope
it
does
well," she
said.
"It
is
good
that
people
are
not
apprehensive
of
taking
TV
actors
for
big
or
supporting
roles
in
films.
There
is
a
space
for
TV
actors
in
films
and
that
there
are
good
roles
written
for
them,"
she
said.
'Hate
Story
2'
a
revenge
thriller,
is
a
sequel
to
the
2012-film
'Hate
Story'.

by
T-Series,

Chawla,
Sushant
Singh
and
others.
Mahi
isn't
too
keen
on
doing
films
unless
an
interesting
offer
comes
up,
but
is
open
to
doing
reality
shows.
