Television actress Mansi Srivastava has returned to the small screen with Lakshmi Niwas, taking on a positive role after portraying several negative characters in recent years. Describing the opportunity as a manifestation that finally worked in her favour, Mansi expressed gratitude for the shift.
“I’m very happy and grateful that I got positive again. Because it’s very difficult once you do negatives. It’s very difficult. Though I started my career with positive only. I was craving and I was manifesting last year that I want positive, I want to get positive. But in between, I had given auditions for negatives too, frankly, because I hate sitting at home. I gave negatives too. Then, one positive came on the way. But I didn’t like that role. I felt that it wasn’t fitting for my personality. Then, luckily, this happened. I don’t know from where. But yeah, like destiny that this Revati was written for me. Because initially, I had auditioned for a negative role in this show. I had auditioned for a negative role. But then, channel called me for a positive. I was like, this was written destiny. I had manifested earlier. But this is something that I got lucky.”
