Shalini Kapoor is waiting to make comeback on TV with a mother's role

TV and film actress, Shalini Kapoor says when people ask her why hasn't she been doing much of TV since '

Kahan Hum Kahan Tum

', she tells them that she is waiting for the right role. Now, Shalini, who has also acted in shows like 'Mahadev', 'Qubool Hai', 'Swaragini' and few films, says she has found the right role for herself. "Every era in TV ushered in a different trend and theme," says Shalini. She adds, "Once Gujarati shows were a hit, then Punjabi themes ruled shows, now I think the era is where showmakers are casting the mother as the

central character

in their shows."
Calling a mother as "a symbol of strength patience and love, besides a lot of other things," Shalini says is glad that the

TV industry

has thought of this trend too. "It's heartening to see that showmakers thought about mothers and about making them the central figure in the current shows. We have to be thankful to them for this."
Shalini says the etching of the mother's character in contemporary TV shows tempts her into wanting one such role for herself. "I too would love to play the role of a strong family matriarch, who is central to the story of the show. That would be an ideal comeback for me right now," she says.
Shalini had played mother to Jhanvi Kapoor in the 2018 film, 'Dhadak'.
