Mumbai, Mar 5 (IANS): Actress Swaroop Sampat, who is married to actor Paresh Rawal, says she is "scared" to share the screen space with her husband.

"We work together in theatres, but as far as films are concerned, I am scared to work with him. Paresh is very serious about his work and on the other hand I am more chilled out," Swaroop said.

"Besides, we also need some interesting script to come together and it has to be a challenging role where I can justify his work," she added.

Swaroop will be next be seen onscreen in R. Balki's directorial venture "Ki and Ka" as Kareena Kapoor's mother. She says Balki is an extremely creative director.

"It's great fun to work with Balki. He is very creative and very particular about everything. I am glad I got an opportunity to work with him," she said.

"I am doing a full-fledged film after a very long time I didn't know how Paresh will react to my work. When he saw the promo he just said you have done a great job and that was quite (a relief)," she added.

"Ki and Ka" also stars actor Arjun Kapoor. The 30-year-old actor will be seen playing an IIT graduate and a house husband to actress Kareena's character Kia, an ambitious and a career-oriented woman in the upcoming romantic comedy which is slated to hit the screens on April 1.
