Roop Durgapal

“I always felt that, as an actor, I should play a variety of roles rather than just sticking to one kind & getting typecast.”

“I had water phobia since childhood without any reason as such.”

“I am not in the favour of a girl running after a guy. My traditional thinking is that a guy should pursue first. Personally, also, I would never run after a guy.”

“I am lucky that I get to play a singer and an actress.”

“Apart from acting and singing, there is a philanthropist inside me who craves to do something for the needy and less fortunate.”

“When at home, I pray to all forms of Goddess Durga for health, wealth, peace, and prosperity for me and my family.”

“I don't see myself playing the docile, submissive bahu on television!”

“I have a long way to go as far as my acting career is concerned. Lots of milestones are to be achieved and dreams to be fulfilled. I would someday want to do playback singing, too, as I am a very passionate singer.”

“I love the affection that people in Gujarat shower artists with.”

“When you admit that you are married, people try to get skeletons out of your closet. They dig into your personal lives and link you with strangers, which could be detrimental. They also want to know details about your marriage, children, and so on. I wanted to keep it private because I only want my work to speak.”

“The best part about reality shows is that they make you a well known name.”

“I am eagerly waiting to play the lead role in a romantic show! I have such a strong role in 'Balika Vadhu,' but none of the guys in the show romance me on screen.”

“None of my on-screen roles have been outright negative. They have all been grey, and that is how it is in reality, too. None of us are nice and sweet 24/7.”

“As a kid, I would keep telling my younger sister that I was a fairy who had come here to spend time with them. And I actually got to play one!”

“When I read in newspapers that farmers are dying because of water shortage, I felt deeply pained that we have best of everything, yet we complain so much, whereas there are people who do not even have access to basic necessities of life.”

“I have so far played a variety of roles and enjoyed all of them. But I am biased towards positive roles because I love staying peaceful and bringing smiles on people's faces.”

“I would love to do a love story or a socially relevant drama. Something on the lines of Netflix originals. I would love to explore the big screen, too.”

“I have been giving live performances since childhood, and I continue to do so professionally.”

“I'm particularly fond of sci-fi and fantasy genres.”

“It is a myth that married women do not get work. Those days are gone now. So, if you think I hid my marriage for that reason, it's not true.”
