When asked about her favourite onscreen mother, Patel said to Pinkvilla, “Kokila Modi is my favourite, obviously because it’s a wonderful iconic character created by Star Plus, Rashmi Madam, and the writers.

Further, the actress said that there is no other character like Kokila Modi. “Of course when we talk about the mother, the first thing that comes to my mind is Mother India. Nargis ji has played that role so very well,” Rupal pointed out. She also talked about her favourite role from a play that she was a part of. “Basically I am from the National School of Drama, and I did my three years training from there. Then I also did my fellowship which is equivalent to PHD in dramatics. I have played Mother Courage, the play written by Bertolt Brecht. It’s a wonderful character of a mother who was selling things in World War 2 on a cart. So what difficulties she faces and how she emerges as a winner… that is such a strong character,” Rupal said. If she gets a chance, which onscreen mother would she like to play too? “Of course, Mother India,” said the actress.
