Priyamvada Kant Interview: On Returning to ‘Tenali Rama’: “TV Actors Work Really Hard”

Actress Priyamvada Kant has returned to the popular TV show "Tenali Rama" for its second season, much to the delight of fans who missed her iconic character, Sharada, since she left after the first season

Priyamvada initially left the show due to creative differences, as she was not comfortable with the storyline changes that involved her character becoming a mother, which she felt would limit the character's appeal

The actress has experienced significant growth in her career since 2010, having worked in around 30-35 shows, including reality shows, television, and web series, gaining technical expertise and maturity over the years

Kant expressed excitement over the overwhelming response from fans on social media, noting how the show's popularity has increased with the advent of platforms like Instagram

She highlighted the challenges TV actors face, such as receiving lines just minutes before shooting, contrasting it with web series where actors have more preparation time, making TV acting particularly demanding

Priyamvada shared her fondness for working with Ekta Kapoor on projects like "Naagin," appreciating the opportunity to return to Balaji Telefilms after a decade

She has been cautious in choosing her roles, opting for projects that align with her comfort and values, despite receiving offers for more glamorous or bold scenes in web series

Priyamvada touched on the financial struggles actors face in the industry due to delayed payments, although she personally hasn't faced severe issues

Despite being offered shows like "Bigg Boss," she has declined due to her non-confrontational nature and preference for roles that suit her personality and skills

Priyamvada Kant remains committed to her craft, eager to explore diverse roles and grateful for the audience's continued support throughout her career
