Vahbiz wants to portray strong roles on TV

It’s really annoying when people offer me similar roles, as if we, actors, can’t do anything beyond what we have done so far. VAHBIZ DORABJEE, ACTOR

Actor Vahbiz Dorabjee portrayed the role of Maggie Gyaan Kant in Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant. But after the show the actor has not been seen in any other show.

Asked about the reason behind her absence from the small screen, Vahbbiz says she felt that it is better not to sign anything rather than playing similar characters again and again.

“Getting typecast on TV is not what I intend to do with my career. I want to explore as much as possible. It’s really annoying when people offer me similar roles, as if we, actors, can’t do anything beyond what we have done so far. The other thing that I don’t like is, while coming with an offer, they ask about my screen age. How does that matter? Why don’t people cast me according to what I look like?”says the actor, who has been a part of shows such as Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani and Saraswatichandra.

Vahbiz is keen on playing strong characters on the small screen. “I will never do anything small, the character must have something new to offer. Being a feminist, I am keen on portraying strong roles. Something to do with women empowerment would also be interesting to explore,” she says, adding that along with acting she is also fulfilling her business dreams. And the actor says she is happy hosting a celebrity chat show on the web.

Meanwhile, news of Vahbiz separating from husband actor Vivian Dsena was everywhere. Ask if personal issues kept her way from work and she says, “Not at all. I am a positive person and don’t allow negativity to spoil my life. I loved my husband and have no regrets about anything. We both have moved on.”
