After essaying the protagonist in her last show Pyar Ki Luka Chuppi, Aparna Dixit is currently seen as the parallel lead in Rajan Shahi's show Woh Toh Hai Albelaa. The actress recently revealed if she was apprehensive about settling for the second lead and what made her take up the role.
Aparna
revealed
that
she
wasn't
apprehensive
about
taking
up
the
parallel
lead,
as
she
wanted
a
change
in
her
lifestyle.
She
said
that
she
wanted
to
explore
other
mediums
and
spend
quality
time
with
her
family.
The actress was quoted by Times Of India as saying, "I have been wanting to work with Rajan (Shahi) sir and I am glad that everything fell into place. Besides, I have followed a very hectic schedule for almost six to seven years because I played the protagonist in shows. I enjoyed it thoroughly but now, I wanted a little change in my lifestyle, as I wished to be able to explore other mediums and spend quality time with my family, too."
She said that when they play the lead role, they have to let go of other offers because of the commitment to that one show. But now, she is not bound to a project and can take up something other than just that. Although she loves TV as it has made her whatever she is today, instead of a long commitment, she just wanted to play an impactful role and explore the web, films and singles.
Aparna has been a part of the industry for a long time now, and hence, she wants to take up characters that match her experience, which applies she takes up second lead as well.
Aparna concluded by saying, "A lot has changed from the time I played the parallel lead initially in my career to what I am being offered today. People are aware of the work I have done in all these years. They respect it and value my talent. They try to give me something that's challenging. So, it has been a conscious decision to take up parallel lead characters but they have to be strong and of equal importance. After playing the central characters, it is very important that you get the right project or it can get frustrating."
