"It feels great to be appreciated," says the actress, who started as a child artiste in the film Woh Saat Din. Suchita's character Meenakshi, who is always crying in the serial, is a hit with the audiences. "My crying makes them laugh! Sometimes I use glycerine to get the tears and sometimes I don't," she says. But recently, Suchita had to see an eye doctor. "That's because my retina was getting affected with the glycerine. So now, I have to do it naturally!" she says.

So does she enjoy doing comedy shows? "Well, it is a different genre and I love to make people laugh. My friends say that I have a good sense of humour and that I can say the meanest things in a humourous way!"

Few know that Suchita is a good dancer. "In fact I'm a better dancer than an actor. I have this knack for dancing and I love the Bollywood form of dance," she says. But why haven't we seen her in any of the reality shows? "Reality shows need celebs not performers who can create some drama and increase the channel's TRPs. There's no honesty there. I can't do some drama just for TRPs as I can't be dishonest to my viewers," she says.
