New Delhi, July 1 (IANS) Govinda's niece Ragini Khanna, who plays the lead role in Sony TV's "Bhaskar Bharti" is the next after his daughter Narmadaa Ahuja to take the plunge into the Hindi film industry.

While Ragini has disclosed the banner and name of the film she might get involved in, details of Narmadaa's project are still under wraps.

"I was receiving offers since a long time. Then this film 'Mare Mere Dushman' was offered to me by Sri Adhikari Brothers and I thought 'let's do it'. It's a dark comedy. My role is of a small town and village girl. But right now it's too early to talk about the project in detail," said Ragini who is the daughter of Govinda's elder sister Kamini, who is a writer.

Ragini was earlier seen in TV show "Radha Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhaayengi".

Talking about her role in "Bhaskar Bharti", she said: "The fun part about the show is that it is about a woman in a man's world. I have got good responses for my acting," she said.

According to the actress, who wanted to be a singer initially, it took her a lot of preparation to play her part in "Bhaskar Bharti".

"I had to learn the mannerisms of men, their thought process and then adjust my actions and reactions accordingly. I also observed Eijaz Khan for six to seven days in the initial episodes when he played the male version of my character," said Ragini.

Good TV is better than bad films: Vivek Mushran

He was launched by Subhash Ghai with his 1991 multi-starrer "Saudagar". But Vivek Mushran's career didn't take off in Bollyowod and the actor says he prefers to do "good TV" than doing "bad films".

"Beyond a point, I had stopped getting any good film offers. Then I did this show called 'Son Pari' and got a good response. So I thought doing good TV is better than doing bad films," said Vivek.

According to the 39-year-old actor, television as a medium has expanded widely and is better than films.

"If a TV show does well, it gets an actor instant reaction about the quality of his or her work through the audience, unlike films, where the reactions come almost some months or even a year later. It is like regular income because at the end of every month you get a cheque and payments here are quite good," he said.

Vivek prefers doing comedies and that is why he accepted "Bhaskar Bharti".

"I am enjoying doing comedy. I didn't want to associate myself with anything tragic. Tragedy is the woman's domain on television and I am glad it is not happening in our show," he added.

Apart from "Saudagar", Vivek was seen in films like "Ram Jaane" (1995) and "Kisna: The Warrior Poet" (2005).
