I am elated to be a part of a show like Jagannath Aur Purvi Ki Dosti Anokhi and more so happy to be back on Sony TV as it brings back a sense of nostalgia. What made me say yes to my role was the way Deepa’s character was written and the endearing story really resonated with me.”

I have got to learn so much just by observing them as it has helped me understand the nuances of acting. I hope to absorb from them as much as I can because they are just brilliant at what they do! I also want to impress the audience with my character Deepa and I hope the viewers love Deepa as much as I did when I first heard the story."
