Many often wonder about the breaks between fiction shows in Arti Singh’s career. However, it is because the actress wants to take up only substantial roles. Last seen in a cameo appearance in Udann (2019), Arti, who is best known for her portrayal of Ambha Dhillon in Waaris (2017) and her stint on Bigg Boss 13 (2020), will now be seen in a new show titled Shravani. She says, “Apart from an interesting storyline, the main dealmaker for me was the fact that I am the villain in the show. It is challenging because I have never played a full-fledged negative character. Logo ko lagta hoga ki Arti phir koi show karegi, maa bann kar aayegi, bahu bann kar aayegi. But I want to push the envelope and surprise the audience with every project. I’m excited to play the villain.”
Ask her if there were any apprehensions about playing a vamp on screen and she replies, “Not at all. I would worry about these things earlier but not anymore. I want to take up projects that satiate me as an artiste. All this while, I didn’t get any interesting offers. I wanted to do something meaningful and where I am the face of the show. I don’t mind the wait. What really frustrates me is doing the work that I don’t enjoy. I have done that in the past and only for the money. I had desired to become a household name, which I have. So, I am content.”
