Playing negative roles is difficult: Mitali Nag

Actress Mitali Nag feels playing negative roles is a difficult job as it affects the inner personality of the actors.

"It's very difficult to play a negative role in daily soaps. Living a negative character for 20-25 days a month, at least 12 hours every day takes a toll on your inner being," Mitali said in a statement.

"Moreover, all daily soaps require you to play similar kind of negative roles. I am open to play a grey shade character as long as the role and the money is appealing," she added.

Mitali, who rose to fame through her lead role in "Afsar Bitiya", is currently seen in Star Plus show "Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon".
