After doing an episode of crime-based TV show "Encounter", actrss Barkha Bisht says she will soon feature in another show on the small screen.

When asked of any plans to do TV full time, she said: "I would love to come back on TV."

"My daughter Meera is two-and-half-year old now and she can be taken care of. I won't disclose it, but the audience will soon see me on a TV show," Barkha, who is married to actor Indraneil Sengupta, told IANS.

Of course, she would love to work with her husband.

"I would love to work with Indraneil but he's not keen to come back on TV. He is busy doing Bengali films and he is loving his work. It's been six years since he left TV, and he has no plans to come back. He opted to go for a cameo in TV show 'Tumhari Pakhi', because it was a matter of just a month," said Barkha.

Rality shows are on her wish list.

"I'm a fitness freak. I'd would want to go for stunt-based show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi'. I would love to perform stunts and something that is adventurous," she said.

"I have two minds, when it comes to 'Bigg Boss'. The show has an interesting format, but I'm not sure whether I'll fit into it," she said.

She feels except for the reality show, the content is "really bad" on the small screen.

"Daily soaps showcase the same thing again and again. Every TV show has almost a similar story line. The content on TV is really very bad. I love watching reality shows because they are a good time pass," she said.

The 34-year-old was active on the small screen and was seen as Raadha in "Pyaar Ke Do Naam - Ek Raadha Ek Shyaam" (2006) and even hosted shows like "Popkorn News" (2006) and "Comedy Circus Ke Ajoobe" (2012).

She has also did a cameo in "Parvarrish - Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi" and has performed item numbers in films like "Rajneeti" and "Dui Prithibi" (Bengali film).
