ans love to hate Kumkum Bhagya's Tau aka Leena Jumani who leaves no stone unturned to make the life of lead protagonists Abhi and Tanu a hell. The actress says all this hatred by fans make her perform better on the show.

Leena penned an emotional note for all the Kumkum Bhagya fans saying all the negative comments about her character make her believe that they appreciate her acting "in a way" and considers it an achievement. The actress adds that although she never got nominated for a negative role yet, the fans' hatred makes her feel she's good at her job.

Leena Jumani aka Tanu is currently married to Abhi on the show and continues with her scheming and manipulative ways. Abhi and Pragya both believe that the other has moved on, but in reality they are still in love with each other.

Leena was also seen in Vikram Bhatt's erotic web series Maaya 2 recently where she played a lesbian and romanced Priyal Gor. The actress also shared a liplock with her co-star. "I have known Priyal for a long time so we share a great bond. It was fun to shoot with her. And as for the kiss, we were laughing uncontrollably before it. Then we realised that this would only make us give retakes and so we finished it off soon. It was awkward indeed but we did it as thorough professionals. I think having a woman director in Krishna also eased out things a lot. She really made us comfortable and that truly helped. If it was anyone else, I think it would have gotten difficult for me," she told indianexpress.com about the intimate scene.
