Shamin looking to play 'powerful' roles on TV (TV Snippets)

Actress Shamin Mannan, who made her Bollywood debut with "Love Shagun" last year, says she wants to return to the small screen with a powerful role.

"Right now, I'm looking to play some powerful roles on TV after working on the film 'Love Shagun'," the "Sanskaar - Dharohar Apnon Ki" actress said in a statement.

Talking about the difference in working in films and shows, she said: "Movies are very different from TV when it comes to content. But now the TV scenario is also changing, and some really good shows are in the making like the finite series which is a very good concept.

"Movie shooting is done in quite a relaxed environment, but for TV shows, we have to deliver every day so there is a time limit and in that given time we have to give our best which is not an easy job."

Bhavini has a special place in my life: Devoleena

Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, who has wrapped up shooting for "Saath Nibhana Saathiya", says she shares a special bond with Bhavini Purohit, with whom she locked horns on the show.

"Bhavini as Radha and me as Gopi might not have a good relationship in reel life. Even on the show, I killed her but off-screen we share a very special bond. She is more than a sister and friend to me. We are always active on chat. She is part of family now," Devoleena said in a statement.

Bhavini also considers Devoleena more than a sister and friend.

"Our relationship is a special one. We understand and enjoy each other's company more than that of siblings. In reel life, I was the one who created problems for her, but in real life I love making her laugh all the time," she said.
