Manasi Salvi doesn’t relate to web series
Actor Manasi Salvi says that she is too conventional when it comes to sticking to a medium, and says that she loves television more than any other platform.
She says, “Web series is something that I don’t relate to. I can’t watch myself ‘on the go’. I think that I am too orthodox... I love television. It is where I began my career. Television has supported me for 21 years and has given me a variety of roles, looks and fabulous creative professional people to work with. So I am quite happy doing TV as of now and I don’t plan the future,” says Manasi.
She is so loyal to the small screen that she has chosen to keep away from movies for a while. “Marathi cinema is close to my heart. I have done six Marathi films, I have won a State Award for one and another prestigious award as well...But being in a daily soap, I don’t get time to give dates for a longer schedule in Marathi cinema. Right now, I am loyal to TV and my advertisements. I want to stay like that a little longer,” she adds.
Manasi has been roped in for a new show, where she plays the role of an elite businesswoman. A few years ago, she had played a character who belonged to a wealthy family in the show Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara.
“The choice of character has never been a process where I see that the character is wealthy or poor, but just comes instinctively when you listen to a particular script and also how the woman is, what are the struggles in life, do I identify with her...”
