The Saath Nibhaana Saathiya actress said, “The schedule affected me personally. I went through a massive breakdown when I was shooting for my TV show Gulaal, just six months into it. It was an incredible show, but just the rigour of doing television every day, day in and day out, it's no joke.”

Manasi will return to TV if…
Manasi Parekh was last seen in Sumit Sambhal Lega. The show received a lot of love from the masses. When asked if she is planning to return to TV, the national award winning actress said, “The last show I did on television was Sumit Sambhal Lega and I think it was one of the most incredible shows I have been a part of. So while I was doing that show, I made it very clear to myself, if I get a show of this scale and level, then I will do it. If it is even one percent less, I wouldn't do it. Unfortunately, after that, nothing of that level has been made. So, not until I get a show as amazing as Sumit Sambhal Lega (will I be back on TV).”
Manasi Parekh is currently working on Gujarati films. She has also worked in a Bollywood film, URI: The Surgical Strike.
