Want to experiment as an actor: Kanchi Singh (TV Snippets)

Actress Kanchi Singh, who has quit TV show "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", says she next wishes to broaden her horizons and experiment as an artiste.

"I want to learn, grow and experiment as an actor. 'Yeh Rishta' was an ensemble cast and for me I would like that the next show I take up is as a lead where the story revolves around the character I play.

"I would also love to take up something interesting in the non-fiction space but again it has to be something I am comfortable with," she added.
