Popular TV star Divyanka Tripathi, best known for daily soaps like 바카라œBanoo Main Teri Dulhann바카라 and 바카라œYeh Hai Mohabbatein바카라, said she refrains working on the small screen as the characters are not well-etched out these days.

바카라œFor me, a character is very important. If the character is well-written, then there바카라™s a joy in playing it. The problem is that the TV shows that I바카라™ve been offered have no clarity about the plot of the show for a month. Then it is susceptible to sudden changes, and in that case you can바카라™t chew on the idea,바카라 the actor told PTI in an interview.

바카라œHowever, I바카라™ve worked with some good people like Sandeep Sikand, on 바카라˜Yeh Hai Mohabbatein바카라™. My job was easy because they (makers) had clarity, I had a graph about my character. Today, I don바카라™t see this kind of clarity (on TV shows) if I get that and if the character is well-written, I would love to do TV,바카라 she added.

Tripathi, who started her career as an anchor on All India Radio (AIR), said television has played a huge part in her professional life.

"It has given birth to my career and taught me acting. There바카라™s no acting school better than TV," the actor said.

She currently features in the espionage thriller series, 바카라œAdrishyam - The Invisible Heroes바카라.

The actor revealed that she was initially in two minds about taking up the offer which came after she underwent a ligament surgery in August last year.

"I바카라™m always seeking an opportunity to explore new characters, do something that I haven바카라™t done before. This role is completely different from what I바카라™ve done. So, I was excited when they offered it,"

"However, I was in a dilemma whether I바카라™ll be able to do it or not, will I recover post the surgery on time? So, there were certain timelines and they were waiting to begin the project. I had two months바카라™ time to recover, I worked hard a lot to make sure that we commenced shooting on time," she said.

Also starring Eijaz Khan, the SonyLIV show follows the life of two undercover intelligence officers who neutralise terror risks while posing as regular employees of the meteorological department. Tripathi plays the role of Parvati, while Khan stars as Ravi.

The actor said she is grateful that she got the opportunity to try her hands on action with the series.

바카라œOn television, I was never approached for such a character, they don바카라™t write such characters for women. There are some characters like that but they didn바카라™t get that kind of reception. On OTT, we are seeing a variety of characters (for women) and the concept of (women) undercover agents is new in this web space,바카라 she added.

바카라œAdrishyam - The Invisible Heroes바카라 is developed by Anshuman Sinha and Sachin Pandey for Sony LIV.
