MUMBAI: We have seen Sriti Jha essay the role of Pragya in Zee’s popular show Kumkum Bhagya for more than 7 years now. She has been synonymous with simplicity and poise all throughout this while. 

But now, her character is all set to witness a change, which is going to be very dramatic. As reported earlier, the show is set to go in for a time leap. 

In a candid chat with the actress, Sriti talked about how comfortable she was with the time leap. She said “Having explored the simple, unassuming, caring aspects of Pragya’s persona for seven years, I now move into showcasing a more stylish, confident, self-assured dimension and that’s truly exciting for me as an artiste,” said Sriti.

Talking about Pragya’s transformation on the show, she said, “The viewers will see my character turn into a powerful corporate professional at a multinational company in another country. I look forward to approaching the character from a new perspective and hope to do it well. What’s interesting is that while she seems to be the boss lady in control to the world outside, she is deeply anguished on the inside, with her eyes giving away her pain at times.”.

Given that the show has gone on for years, did she at any point want to quit, given the monotony? She replied, “Not really because the team is so good that going to work is like going to family. I love meeting these amazing set of people everyday. People have left and new people have joined but shooting with everyone is so fun. I feel like going back again and again to work. It might be over too one day but I want to make the most of it till it lasts.”.

On the personal front, Sriti has always preferred to keep a low profile and she rarely speaks about her life. 

On being asked about her real self, she said, “Oh dear…I don’t know! Probably that is why I maintain a low profile. I haven’t figured out myself who the real Sriti is. Nobody has figured that out maybe because we are constantly growing and evolving. I was someone, now I am someone else and I hope to become a more evolved person in the future.”.
