Mumbai, May 11 (IANS): Actress Tanya Sharma, who plays Meera in the long-running TV show "Saath Nibhana Saathiya", says she can't be part of any show just to earn money.

"Being a part of '...Saathiya', I feel blessed as my producer and the creative team are concerned about my role. They understand me as an actress. And bring up the concepts for me which really help me to explore new shades and new looks," she added.
