Tisca Chopra turns scriptwriter

Actor Tisca Chopra is looking ­forward to adding another feather to her hat.

The 40-year-old, who started her Bollywood career around two decades back, is ­currently writing a film script. She says, without divulging details, "I am ­writing a script and that’s keeping me busy. But it is too early to talk about it. I will give out more details soon when it is close to turning into a film."

Writing is not new to Tisca, the grand-niece of prominent Indian writer Khushwant Singh. She recently released her book —

Lastly, after her appearance in the first season of the Indian TV show,

, can we expect her back in the second ­season? She says, "Hopefully, it should ­happen towards the end of the year. The first season was very exhausting. There needs to be a gap before we start working on the second."
