Roop Durgapal became a household name with her role in Balika Vadhu. Now, she is all set to be seen in Waaris playing a negative role.

Talking about her role, Roop stated, "It's better to play negative lead roles than portray just any other character on the show. On TV, you can either play the lead role or a vamp and the latter today has many shades."

Roop is a married woman and she hid her marital status when she entered the world of television. When asked about it, she said, "It is a myth that married women do not get work. Those days are gone now. So, if you think I hid my marriage for that reason, it's not true. When you admit that you are married, people try to get skeletons out of your closet. They dig into your personal lives and link you with strangers, which could be detrimental. They also want to know details about your marriage, children and so on. I wanted to keep it private because I only want my work to speak."

The Balika Vadhu actor's Instagram page is filled with her pictures in a bikini and that grabbed many eyeballs. When asked about her glam avatar, Roop added, "I had gone on a holiday to Thailand and at a private beach I posed in a bikini. I don't know if I would want to wear it on screen though."

So, why did she post the picture on her Instagram page? To which Roop said, "Well, don't I have a right to wear a bikini and show off? If actors can show their abs, why can't women show their bikini bods?"
