TV actress Ragini Khanna, who was last seen on daily soap 'Sasural Genda Phool', says she is not getting anything great to make her return to the fiction genre on the small screen.

After her stint as a spoilt girl on the TV drama, Ragini has been busy hosting reality shows as she finds their concepts interesting.

"Scarcity of good scripts has kept me away from the fiction genre. Acting is my passion and I am dying to make a comeback to a fiction genre where I can show my skills. I am not finding a great content. The roles which I am getting are similar to my character in 'Sasural...' and I can't ape myself. Monotony bores me," Ragini told PTI in an interview.
 

The actress would be seen next teaming up with her 'Sasural Genda Phool' co-star Jay Soni for hosting a quiz show 'Dil hain Chotasa Choti si Asha!' on channel Sony Pal.

"I wasn't aware initially that I will be hosting the show with Jay. It's interesting to be a part of the show because audience would be able to see completely different sides of ours contrary to the image created by our show. Here, we are not acting and will be true selves," Ragini said.

The women-centric game show will have housewives participating on the show and will share their journey with audience despite winning a handsome amount.

"I am playing a quiz master on the show. It is divided into four sections -- common knowledge, active learning, Bollywood trivia and general knowledge.

"As the contestants are mostly housewives, it is my duty as a host to make them feel comfortable on it. The best part of the show is that it tries to empower women. Nobody will go empty-handed from here," she said.
