Sumona Chakravarti: I don’t want to play another sari-clad character

Sumona Chakravarti, better known as Manju — Kapil Sharma’s wife in 'Comedy Nights With Kapil', is returning to the fiction genre after almost a year.
Last seen in the daily soap 'Bade Achhe Laggte Hain' as Ram Kapoor’s sister, the actress will soon enter 'Jamai Raja'. She will play Siddharth’s (Ravi Dubey) childhood friend Misha Grewal. Her proximity with Siddharth will not go down well with Roshni.

Sumona says, “I hadn’t gone anywhere, so there is no question of a comeback.I was associated with 'Bade...' for over three years and I wanted a break after it ended. Then, I got busy shooting films and travelling. I decided to return to daily soaps starting this year, but people assumed that I won’t have time to devote since I am busy with 'Comedy Nights'. But the fact was that I was busy travelling, faffing and wasting money. I wanted to get back to the grind. After doing a good show, you become choosy about the projects you take up. I don’t want to do another character draped in a sari, wearing mangalsutra and sindoor in a fiction show. My role in the new show is interesting and different.”
