Actress Reshmi Ghosh, best known for her roles in shows like "Kayamath", "Mata Ki Chowki" and "Buddha", has taken on the role of Kaikeyi in the popular mythological show "Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanuman". And her character's age is no bar for her.
"Honestly, after working for 17 years in the industry, the age of the character is no priority. In fact, I don't even mind playing a grandmother if the role is substantial," she said.
"I don't differentiate between the genres, I love being part of these shows as I get to mouth chaste Hindi dialogues through these heavy weight characters that I take up," Reshmi, a former Miss India Earth, said in a statement.
"Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanuman", aired on Sony Entertainment Television, depicts the story of Lord Hanuman told from the viewpoint of Lord Krishna and his wife Devi Rukmini.

New TV show 'Silsila Pyaar Ka' takes leap in second week itself
The makers of "Silsila Pyaar Ka" have decided to bring a leap of five years in the narrative of the show in its second week itself.
This is being done to bring interesting twists and turns in the storyline.
As per the ongoing story, Kajal (Chhavvi Pandey) will get married to Akshay (Sehban Azim) while Raunak (Abhay Vakil) is sent away by his mother Janki Tiwari (Shilpa Shirodkar) who did not want Kajal to be her daughter-in-law.
"The show will take a five-year leap and I (my character) will be leading a happy married life. Since it is a Rashmi Sharma show, the viewers can expect a lot of twists and turns. What will happen to my marriage and what will Raunak do next is something viewers will have to see the show for," Chhavvi said in a statement.
The post-leap story of the Star Plus show will feature Kajal happily settled with Akshay and they have a four-year-old daughter Sakshi (Tvisha Solanki).
