After she made news for walking out of television show 'Comedy Nights Bachao', Tannishtha Chatterjee of 'Brick Lane' fame said she now wants to get into more mainstream territory. "Actors love to be cast against type, that's when you get the most interesting performances out of them. I am dying to dance around trees. There's a light side to me. I did the film 'UnIndian' and am now doing a play that's funny and light. I want to show them that I am not meant for only serious roles."
The actress added that when people meet her, they realise how different she is off-screen. "They think I have a great sense of humour, but they've only seen me in serious, women-centric roles. I am sure I have missed mainstream roles because they have never even come to me. I love taking up strong roles and characters which allow me to take risks, Sometimes they are fantastic and sometimes I fail, but that's how you learn and grow, otherwise it becomes monotonous."
Tannishtha walked out of a show recently after she faced constant jibes on the colour of her skin. She later expressed her outrage mincing no words.
