Popular TV star Divyanka Tripathi, best known for daily soaps like "Banoo Main Teri Dulhann" and "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein", said she refrains working on the small screen as the characters are not well-etched out these days. "For me, a character is very important. If the character is well-written, then there`s a joy in playing it. The problem is that the TV shows that I`ve been offered have no clarity about the plot of the show for a month. Then it is susceptible to sudden changes, and in that case you can`t chew on the idea," the actor told PTI in an interview.
"However, I`ve worked with some good people like Sandeep Sikand, on `Yeh Hai Mohabbatein`. My job was easy because they (makers) had clarity, I had a graph about my character. Today, I don`t see this kind of clarity (on TV shows) if I get that and if the character is well-written, I would love to do TV," she added. Tripathi, who started her career as an anchor on All India Radio (AIR), said television has played a huge part in her professional life. "It has given birth to my career and taught me acting. There`s no acting school better than TV," the actor said. She currently features in the espionage thriller series, "Adrishyam - The Invisible Heroes".
