Amrita Prakash plays a rebellious character on TV but has nothing against family dramas. After finishing college, she wants to make a career in films.
Amrita Prakash is 19 and she is happy that she’s playing her age on screen too.
“I don’t see myself wearing a mangalsutra or wearing sarees all through the day,” she laughs.
Amrita plays the rebellious Sanskriti in Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai.
“The character is very strong-headed and stubborn. She doesn’t believe in customs and even goes for a relationship that’s frowned upon. I don’t think there are many characters like her on TV,” she says.

And does she identify with the character? “I am very strong-headed, but I am not really stubborn. As far as live-in relationships go, I don’t know if I would go for one, but they are certainly not taboo anymore,” says Amrita.
And though Amrita may be playing a modern character, she doesn’t look down on the family dramas on television. “They are working, aren’t they? People love watching them. That’s why producers are putting in money to make them,” she says.
Meanwhile, it’s not just television that keeps her busy.
Amrita’s also busy studying these days. “I am doing my graduation from Mithibai college. Though I can’t attend all the lectures, I try to go to college if the pack-up is announced early, or if it’s a late shoot, I go to the sets from college. It’s hectic, but I want to complete my education. I am very focussed about it,” she says.
Having worked in films like Tum Bin and Vivaah, isn’t Bollywood on her wishlist?
“I want to finish my graduation and then pursue Bollywood. Till then, I am keeping myself busy with television,” she says.
