She added: "Today, in most serials there are so many characters just standing in one line. Today there are a few shows like that but not the majority," the actress said. The shows were different and had substance. It was a better period for television in terms of content. "The time when I had entered television was far better than now. Known for her subtle and endearing portrayals, Farida feels that television shows were much better earlier as far as content goes. Developing the character further or increasing the length of the role to suit the show is the channel's prerogative," Farida said. "At the moment my role is a cameo, which will go on for the next two-three months. All the actors suit their characters completely," she added. I have great respect for her and I admire her greatly. We had done Shyam Benegal's film 'Mammo' together. I have known Surekhaji (who plays the grandmother) from before. "It is great working with the team of the show. The role is challenging and instrumental to the storyline," Farida said. The role of 'Badi Jiji' (elder sister) is a completely new experience for me as it is quite different from all the roles I have enacted till date. "I'm returning to television after a long break and this role offers me the perfect platform for my comeback.

She plays Surekha Sikri's elder sister in the serial that focuses on the evils of child marriage.
Before entering I too used to watch it myself and was an ardent follower of it." Talking about Balika Vadhu, she said: "I decided to take up the soap because it's the best show according to me. The actress started her small screen stint with Dekh Bhai Dekh and was later seen in Shararat as well. Pyaar Hai, Dil To Pagal Hai and Raja Hindustani, among others. In the last several years, she featured in character roles in movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kaho Naa.
Although the seasoned actress played second fiddle to top heroines in most of her films, she was paired with Rajesh Khanna in Aradhana. But still celluloid is my first love and will always be," she said.įarida, 60, started her career as a child artiste with the 1960 hit Chaudhvin Ka Chand and later featured in Raj Kapoor's Bobby. "In films, we usually have the same type of roles which we keep doing and television gives more scope to character actors like me. The actress nevertheless maintains that films will remain her "first love". My male counterparts have so much to do but not me," she said. But still I feel that writers don't do justice as far as a mother's role in a film is concerned.

That is why whenever TV producers offer me variety, I take it up," Farida told IANS over phone from Mumbai. "Female character actors of my age are mostly slotted in the same type of role without much variation. She says a lack of good roles for women her age in Bollywood led her to turn to television. She has played mother to the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Akshay Kumar in Hindi films, but veteran actress Farida Jalal has now returned to the small screen with Balika Vadhu.
