I won’t quit television: Mokshitha Pai

Actress Mokshitha Pai is foraying into Sandalwood with a new movie directed by Duniya Vijay. She will continue to act in her serial despite entering Sandalwood. The actress rose to fame with the serial Paaru, which marked her debut on the small screen.

Mokshitha says, “People have showered me with so

much love

for portraying the

titular role Paaru

, which I cannot forget. In fact, when I go outside people recognize me as Paaru and not as Mokshitha Pai, which shows the impact the character is having on audiences.” Paaru is one of the popular serials on

Kannada

television which is ruling TRP charts. In the serial, she plays the role of an honest maid who works in the family of Arasanakote Akhilandeshwari. She eventually falls in love with Aadi, son of Akhilandeshwari.

About her Sandalwood debut, in an earlier interview with

Bangalore Times

, Mokshitha had said, “My character in the movie - which is a romantic love story - will be similar to Paaru’s character. But there is a rawness in the subject which adds a twist to the tale, which I thought would be a perfect launchpad for me. The shoot will begin from December end or January.”
