The model turned actor switches from reality TV to daily soap
She has done reality shows like Bigg Boss and Survivor India, and now Payal Rohatgi is all set to do a fiction show Humsafar. Though she had done a couple of episodes of Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath, this will be her first outing in a daily soap. Says Payal, “I have always been known for my glamour but I wanted to do something strong and substantial on TV, which is a woman dominated medium. I was exploring the fiction space and this role came at the right time.” The Muslim social will see her playing an ambitious woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. “Yes, there are grey shades to my role though my character feels she is justified in doing what she wants,” says Payal who has done films like Dil Kabbadi opposite Irrfan Khan and Ugly Aur Pagli with Ranvir Shorey. Payal who is in a live-in relationship with wrestler-actor Sangram Singh got formally engaged in February this year. Ask Payal if they have fixed the marriage date and she smiles, “I don’t know, probably by the end of this year or next year. Sangram and I have been busy. He just returned from Delhi where he was shooting for his film Yuva and I was also in Gujarat for a film. Now, I have got busy with this serial, so we haven’t had time for anything. However, I must tell you that Sangram coaxed me into doing TV.” Payal will continue to be her glam self in the serial with saris draped in a contemporary style teamed with sexy blouses. “But it will not be over-the-top keeping in mind the conservative backdrop,” she says.
