Actor Tassnim Sheikh, who plays the role of Rakhi Dave in `Anupamaa`, said that she loves the way her career has panned out. The actor has been part of the industry for many years now and said that she is proud of the roles that she has done. “I had a beautiful journey. I started working in 1997 and since then, it has been a very smooth and beautiful journey. God has been very kind and I never experienced a roller coaster ride in my career. So far, I have done some amazing characters on very good shows on Indian Television which people still remember. I am very thankful to this television industry as it was here that I found my husband, my family and this television industry has become my family too. My journey has been very happy and nice and today when I look back, I can smile with all my heart,” she said.
Ask her which roles are closest to her heart, and she said, “The first name that comes to my mind is Jyoti from `Kkusum`, where I played a positive role. Jyoti was exactly like how I am in real life and so playing her role was never a performance for me. When I entered this industry, I was slightly scared and nervous but had a lot many hopes to prove myself and I was very hardworking. I was similar to how Jyoti was and I will always remember Jyoti for this reason. Secondly, I always remember Renuka from `Kumkum`. This was a negative character but that was also a game-changer to me. By playing this negative character, it created a whole different image of me in the industry and the perspective changed."
