Chhavi Mittal ages backwards on screen

Even though her last project '

Krishnadasi

' didn’t quite turn out the way she expected,

Chhavi Mittal

isn’t wary of television. In fact, she has moved on and is happy that she is growing younger on screen. Quite literally! After playing mother to Sana Amin Sheikh in 'Krishnadasi', she will now play a younger mother to a 10-year-old in writer-turned-producer

Sonali Jaffer

’s next. “It’s part and parcel of this profession. Nobody adheres to the script and tracks change depending on the ratings. I am not here to fight that. I can’t foresee the future of a show. I am not livid with whatever happened in the past. In fact, 'Krishnadasi' helped me break the perception that mothers can’t look sexy. I am now being offered roles other than that of a mom. I will take up one of these in the near future as my new show doesn’t require a long commitment. Unlike my previous show, in which I played a typical TV mother, I am playing a new-age mom in the new project. Looking nice and being fit has finally paid off.”
Meanwhile, she is also busy satiating her creative hunger by making short programes for her web series 'Shitty Ideas Trending'. “My husband (

Mohit Hussein

) and I started this initiative last year. The idea was to work and spend some time together without being far away from our child. The series has also helped us evolve as spouses. It’s so funny that even when we are having a fight, we take a break from it to jot down funny things to enhance the script,” she says.
