One often sees various coloured stones on actors’ fingers and wonders as to why a successful person would believe in things like astrology, numerology and fate? We know a veteran actor from the TV industry who is an avid believer in astrology, and so is her on screen character in the show Hamari Saas Leela. We are talking about Apara Mehta whose on screen character Leela is seeking help from astrologers to search for perfect brides for her sons. In real life too she has consulted her astrologers to find out if her show will do well or not. And in a perfect state of coincidence, the producer of the show Asit Modi also believes in astrology. Apara said, “I am very confident that the show will be a hit. It is true that there is no dearth of hard work and talent in any of the actors but most often it is lady luck that makes all the difference. This time both mine and Asit’s stars are favorable and the show is bound to be a hit. I feel I have a direct connection with God. I have never asked God for anything and have always thanked him for whatever he has given me so far. I believe in karma as well. My good karma in my present and past life is paying off beautifully. For the rest, the all mighty is there to take care of me and protect me.” Well, only time will tell if the stars will shine or not!
