Over three decades later, Sushmita Mukherjee is still remembered as Kitty from director Pankaj Parashar's show, Karamchand, which aired on Doordarshan in the mid-80s. She played the dim-witted secretary of the carrot-chomping detective Karamchand (Pankaj Kapur) in the series.

"Though it was a different generation, I still find people referring to me as Kitty. It's sweet, and I feel nice about it. But my sons are amused when anyone calls me that. I tell them it was [relating to] a time before they were born," she says. Known for her comic timing, Mukherjee, who dabbles in films, TV and theatre, is now exploring a new platform. She makes her debut with Anand Tiwari and Amritpal Singh Bindra's series, Imperfect, which dropped on a digital platform yesterday.
