Who says that being choosy on screen can limit your options? Actress Seema Kapoor, who has been known for her projects such as Kurukshetra, Virasat, Silsila, Janam-Janam, Knock-Knock, Hasratein, Padosan, Lok-Parlok, Sapnay, Navrang, says that being choosy helped her rise to the top. 

The actress, who is more recently seen in Bidaai, Saas Vs Bahu, Ek Hazaron Me Meri Behna Hain, Sukanya, Madhubala, Razia Sultan, and currently in Udaariyaan, says that she remembers picking up only the best roles for herself. “All my projects have been prominent since they were No.1 shows with high TRPs. I have been often told that I have been the most sought-after actor on television, so I've selected my roles very cautiously. I have done the maximum number of lead and centralized roles on television, despite being very choosy and refusing more than what I accepted. I was busy doing two shifts a day and what mattered the most was the choice of roles to me, at that time,” adds Seema, who has been part of Trikaal, Yug, Betaal Pachisi, Gul Sanobar, Inteqaam, Vilayti Babu, Miss India, Chandini, Apradh, Airhostess, Hum Hain Anari, Nagin, Saath-saath, Hum Saath Aath Hain, Gharwali- Uparwali and Hasi Toh Phasi. 

Talking about her debut project Kismat, she says that she considers herself so lucky to have got a great launch. “My debut project was Kismat and I consider myself fortunate to be introduced by none other than Ramesh Sippy, the maker of Sholay. He was a school in himself and I learnt the finer nuances because of him and groomed into a seasoned actor,” she says. She adds that her theatre background helped her a great deal on screen as well. “I didn't have to struggle since I began with theatre. I have been part of so many plays including Aaram Haram Hai, Shirin Farhaad, Ki Dosh Si Loona Da, Heer Ranjha, Mirza Sahiban, Sassi Punnu, Ek Ghora Teen Sawaar, Six In A Fix, Main Zinda Hoon, Sharyantra, Made For Each Other, Meri Life Mein Uski Wife. In my play, A Suitable Bride, in which I played 12 roles and broke all records. Then I went into ads and television, and almost grew up in this industry,” she explains.
