Mithila Palkar often has her fans professing their love for her acting skills and curls. But, for her, true love is something that she hasn’t found yet. While the Karvaan actress has been linked to her co-stars before, she says she isn’t dating anyone. “I am happily single and enjoying this phase,” says Mithila.

The actress says that although she believes in the idea of eternal love, she isn’t someone who falls in the love-at-first-sight category. “I definitely have to be friends with the person first before liking or loving him. I also believe in ‘forever wala’ love,” says Mithila. Ask her what would be a perfect date for her, and she says, “I like good conversations over a cup of chai and that’s an ideal date for me.”

The lockdown gave Mithila a chance to work on herself and resume her dance training. “I don’t think I would have gotten so much time to spend with my grandparents, at a stretch, had it not been for the lockdown. I also resumed my kathak training, was working out, sleeping on time and eating a lot of food prepared by my grandmother,” shares Mithila.

It has been more than three years since Mithila was seen in the Marathi film Muramba, which also featured Amey Wagh, Sachin Khedekar, and Chinmayee Sumeet. While people have been asking her to do another Marathi film soon, Mithila says she’s waiting for the right script. “If I get a story that intrigues me, I would jump at the opportunity,” she says, adding, “In fact, when I decided to be an actor, all I wanted to do was Marathi theatre. Plus, my experience of working in Muramba was so good that I would not take anything less than that for my next Marathi venture.”

Mithila has been the toast of OTT platforms and has won accolades for her portrayals in web series. She shares that the recognition that these platforms are getting only points towards the fact that good content triumphs. Having said that, she adds, “I just want to be a better actor every day. Content and people associated with a project matter to me and not the platform so much. I just keep giving my best irrespective of whether the content is going on OTT, in cinema halls or on stage. I don’t like to limit myself to one medium.”
