As Scoop recently turned two, the actress opened up on the reason behind her absence from the films and shows lately. Talking to Hindustan Times, Karishma Tanna said, 'I genuinely don't have an answer. After a long time, I had a platform and an acting-driven script. Scoop was challenging.

But this is the price you pay when you do a show like Scoop – it's a waiting game for something equally good. I am going through a lot of mixed emotions. Sometimes I feel, 'Jo bhi next aayega, I will take it.' I doubt whether I will be happy on set or not." Scoop, based on Jigna Vora's biographical memoir Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison, stars Karishma Tanna in the role of a crime journalist, Jagruti Pathak, who seeks justice after being falsely implicated in a murder case.
