As actors, we should not be choosy about negative or positive roles: Sehrish Ali

Pretty and talented actress Sehrish Ali, who has just entered the Zee TV's show 'Yeh Vaada Raha', is happy playing a negative role on the show. It's the first time that she is essaying a negative role on a TV show and  is quite enjoying playing the character of Vishakha.

In a candid chat with TellyBuzz, Sehrish shares more about her experience essaying a negative role for the first time, her equation with.. her co-stars of this show, as well as her other show 'Diya Aur Baati Hum' and much more.

Sharing her experience essaying a negative role, Sehrish says, "I am playing a negative character for the first time on television and it's a very different experience for me. I am practicing to inculcate negative expressions in my acting. I have a habit of speaking fast but after playing this role, I have become more subtle while speaking. It's the first time for me, but I am loving it."

We wonder what made Sehrish opt for this role. She explained, "Vishakha will be shown positive in the beginning but she would only be pretending to be positive. She would eventually be seen showing her negative shades later on; sometimes crying, sometimes laughing and at times, in a mood of taking revenge. I felt that this character has so many graphs, and hence, I should do it. One of my friends did ask me, what if I keep getting more negative roles in future.. to which, I told her that as an actor, I should know playing both, a good role as well as a bad role. We should not be choosy about doing positive or a negative role."

"The other reason behind taking up this role has been that Vishakha is beautiful (laughs). I always wanted to do something where I can get a chance of use a lot of makeup and look beautiful. I am happy with my role on the show," chuckles Sehrish.

Talking about her equation with her co-stars, she said, "I have very lovely co-stars here. Ankush (Ankush Arora) is a very good friend and Roshni (Roshni Walia) is too young and she is so talented. She is a cute kid. Lata Ji is also a very nice human being. It takes me down the memory lane to my 'Diya Aur Baati Hum' days, when we were all new and went to Pushkar for our shoot."

So, is she missing her 'Diya Aur Baati Hum' family? She answered, "I am craving to meet them. It's been long, that I haven't shoot with them. I am missing everyone and they are all like my real family. They call me and ask to come and meet them. They are missing me and I am missing them, which proves that how much we love each other. It's nice to have such a loving family around. Blessed are the people who have a loving family around, and I have one in Bhopal and another one in Mumbai."

Way to go Sehrish!
