Puja Sharma: Why should I hide my age, I am not insecure
After a seven-year hiatus pursuing films and web shows, Puja Sharma returns to television with Jhanak. After a long hiatus, actress Puja Sharma has recently returned to the small screen with Jhanak. Reflecting on her seven-year break, she says, 'I took a break because I wanted to grow as an artiste, and get into films and web shows. But it wasn't easy. I started doing TV commercials, but then a phase came when I was getting rejected back to back.' The actress adds, 'I used to get short-listed for projects, but things wouldn't work out at the last minute. Eventually, I reached a saturation point. During that time, I helped my parents with their business in Jharkhand.' So, what prompted her to get back to TV? The actress, who has been part of shows like Naagin, Dil Se Dil Tak and Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, says, 'TV wasn't the plan, but when Jhanak came to me, I felt it was an interesting role and decided to take it up. Now, along with TV, I'll focus on other mediums, too. Earlier, people had to take a break from TV to transition, but I think that's changed now.' On television, actresses are often cast in mother roles at a young age. Talking about this, Puja says, 'I don't feel there is anything wrong with that, but the role has to be good. I started at 20 and now I'm 37. I've learned a lot along the way. I am not insecure as an actor, and I don't hide my age. If I fit a particular role, I'll do it. An actor should keep experimenting to avoid being typecast.'

Puja Sharma makes power-packed comeback
Puja Sharma marks her return after a seven-year break with the role of Kanka in Jhanak, a fierce tribal woman from a Naxalite background. Drawing inspiration from her Jharkhand upbringing, Puja embraces the raw and emotionally layered character. This role marks a significant departure from her previous positive leads, offering her the bold and intense comeback she desired. After a seven-year hiatus, actress Puja Sharma is back — and she's returning with fire in her eyes. Known for her memorable roles in Naagin, Jyoti, Dil Se Dil Tak, Mere Angne Mein, and Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, Puja now steps into uncharted territory with Jhanak, playing Kanka — a fierce, grey-shaded tribal woman from a Naxalite backdrop. 'I've played positive leads before, but Kanka is raw, volatile, and emotionally layered,' she shares. 'What made it even more special is how personal it felt. I grew up in Jharkhand, surrounded by tribal women who worked in our home — strong, grounded women whose spirit I've always admired. I didn't need to 'prepare' for Kanka — I just had to feel her.' In Jhanak, which recently took a leap, Kanka is introduced as a powerful force within a tribal community deeply distrustful of outsiders. Her soft spot for the head of the tribe — someone she's known since childhood — adds a surprising emotional core to an otherwise fiery character. 'Kanka doesn't play nice — and I love that about her,' Puja says. 'It's the kind of role I was waiting for — not sugar-coated, not safe.' The sabbatical, she says, was crucial. 'It made me sharper, more grounded. But yes, I missed the chaos of sets, the adrenaline of performance. I needed something bold to come back for — and Jhanak gave me just that.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Having started her journey with Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna in 2008, Puja calls this a 'full-circle moment.'

Jasmin Bhasin Slams Trolls Bashing Her Inter-Faith Relation With Aly Goni: 'Shame'
Last Updated: Jasmin Bhasin lashed out at trolls for making negative comments on her inter-faith relation and asked them not to interfere in their lives. Jasmin Bhasin has opened up about her inter-faith relationship with Aly Goni. In a recent interview, the actress revealed that even though she and Aly were also in love with each other, they decided to give it a chance only when they participated in Bigg Boss 14. 'Aly and I met as friends, then Bigg Boss happened. I was going on the show, and before that, we discussed that staying together was not an option for us. Then he came on the show and said, 'let's give it a try'. We were always in love, just that we were in denial and also not ready for it at that time," Jasmin told SCREEN. The actress then explained, 'We were such good friends, enjoyed each other's company a lot, later we decided that some distance was important so we could move on in life. If we had this clarity that we both could not be partners, and could not see a future together, then what was the point of hurting each other, getting into a relationship, and making it toxic? It was better to be best friends, it's emotions at the end of the day, so if someone is around you, always moving on gets difficult. In that break, he realised that he wanted to give us a try, and I was always okay with it." Jasmin further lashed out at trolls for making negative comments on her inter-faith relation and asked them not to interfere in their lives. 'The relationship is between the two of us, we have an understanding, we have had these conversations. We have reached a common ground, we have accepted each other the way we are. We are sorted between us, so nobody's opinions matter. Still, if people give negative opinions that can affect our relationship, then shame on them. The world needs love and positivity. If two people are happy, others can keep their stupid opinions to themselves, and if they are so clever, they should focus on sorting their own lives. This is our life, and we will figure it out," she said. On the work front, Jasmin Bhasin has worked in several successful television shows like Dil Se Dil Tak, Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji and Naagin 4, among others. Besides Bigg Boss, Jasmin also participated in the action reality show, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi – Made in India. She also made her debut in the Punjabi film industry in 2022 with the movie Honeymoon, which also starred Gippy Grewal in the lead.

Naagin actress Puja Sharma returns to TV after seven years with Jhanak: I couldn't have asked for a better comeback
After a seven-year hiatus, actress Puja Sharma is back — and she's returning with fire in her eyes. Known for her roles in Naagin , Jyoti , Dil Se Dil Tak , Mere Angne Mei n, and Devon Ke Dev Mahadev , Sharma returns with a character she describes as "strong and layered," a choice made consciously after turning down offers that didn't resonate. She will enter Jhanak, playing Kanka — a fierce, grey-shaded tribal woman from a Naxalite backdrop. 'After a sabbatical, I didn't want to take up just anything. I was waiting for the right moment,' says Sharma, pointing out how the medium tends to typecast actresses over 30. 'On television, you often get roles based on your age, and once you cross 30, you're mostly offered characters like Chachi, Bhabhi, Didi, or Devrani—which is fine, as long as the role is challenging. When I heard the brief for this particular character, I just knew it was the one. I couldn't have asked for a better comeback—it's a fantastic role.' The actor admits that while she stayed visible through commercials and a yet-to-be-released film, the absence of long-format storytelling left a creative void. 'I definitely missed acting—no denying that. Although I did shoot for a movie during this time (still waiting for its release), and I also worked on several TV commercials. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo But I missed living a character for more than just a day,' she says. 'Commercials are typically one-day shoots, while on television, you get to truly live the character over time. You get more screen presence, more time and space to perform—and that's absolutely thrilling for any actor.' Her comeback role, she explains, offers her just that—the chance to explore a nuanced persona with depth and emotional heft. 'It's a grey character—I'm playing a strong tribal girl who is part of a Naxalite group. She's a gundi ,' Sharma shares. 'Coincidentally, I'm from Jharkhand, and since childhood, many tribal people have worked at my home. I've closely observed their mannerisms—the way they speak, dress, carry themselves. So when I found out about this character, I was genuinely excited. It felt like something I deeply resonated with.' The show she joins already enjoys a considerable following, but Sharma isn't weighed down by the expectations. 'Honestly, I wouldn't say I feel pressure. On the contrary, I'm excited!' she asserts. 'I think it's every actor's dream to portray a strong, meaningful character—and I'm finally getting that opportunity. I'm really happy.' She concludes with a grounded perspective on storytelling. 'Characters are like spices in food—they bring flavor. Without flavor, any dish is bland, and similarly, every character brings something unique to a story.'
