"When I took on Mahakumb — Ek Rahasya Ek Kahani, it was supposed to be a cameo. The makers told me they would kill my character, but I ended up shooting for over a month," grins Seema Biswas, talking about her last telly outing. Five years since, the actor is back on the tube with Sooraj Barjatya's drama, Dadi Amma Dadi Amma Maan Jao.
Well aware of the hectic schedules that characterise television industry, Biswas initially didn't welcome the idea. "Television is too demanding. Earlier, I used to shoot daily from morning to night. It left me with little time to pursue theatre or take up any other acting assignment," she rues. However, her deep bond with Barjatya — she collaborated with him in the Shahid Kapoor starrer Vivaah (2006) — meant that she could not turn him down. "He convinced me to take up the role. I play a fun-loving granny who dotes on her granddaughters. The show is about cherishing the time spent with elders in the family. In our times, school holidays meant visiting our grandparents; we eagerly awaited it. But now, things have changed."
