Smita loves playing negative roles, but wants to shift her focus from typical Saas Bahu sagas to realistic content which she believes is a better way to connect with audiences. Smita took a break from her career in 2008 when she was diagnosed with skin cancer, but then was back with a bang post recovery.

Smita is very fond of writing and is really passionate about it and wants to start writing very soon. She finds the typical Saas Bahu sagas very boring as she believes that the roles are typical stereotyped and involves the same old story of wearing heavy sarees, jewellery and overdoing of makeup which she feels are unable to connect with the audience. She has an effective way of acting which enables her to emote the feeling of the character she’s playing in a very effective way.
