Prachi won t do mindless shows for money

New Delhi Nov 18 (IANS) Actress Prachi Tehlan who is seen as a tomboy in the new show "Ikyawann" says she can t play a "makkhi" (fly) or something "mindless" just for money.

Asked about the current TV trends and the short shelf life of shows Prachi told IANS: "Nowadays we get to see the daughter-in-law turning into a fly. I don t see myself there. Horror is a different thing. That also depends on the content... maybe something like Bhool Bhulaiya which is a performance-based film. But I won t do baseless and mindless roles."

"Money doesn t matter. It s not everything. I can t play a makkhi or something like that just for money " she added.

In "Ikyawann" she essays the role of Susheel -- the 51st child of the Parekh family.

"Susheel is unlike her name. She is like a boy so she is not a marriage material. But her family members motivate her to be the way she is irrespective of what others say " she said.

There is also an online campaign for the Star Plus show. As Susheel has boy-like mannerisms as well she is considered Not Shaadi Material by the society. This #NotShaadiMaterial concept has been supported by several women including actress Richa Chadha.
