I have done so many such roles that I might as well get an honorary CBI membership (laughs). I am not saying it is wrong, and I am grateful that I am considered for these roles, but as an actor I want to do something different. So, when there are roles with pretty much the same approach, I don't do it, because people have seen me doing it already,' she says.
