MUMBAI: Aarti Bhagat is currently seen in Parth Shah and Prateek Sharma’s Jamai No. 1, which is produced under their banner, Studio LSD. Talking about the show, she said, “It’s a fun and fresh take on the concept of ghar jamais, but with a lot of drama, emotions, and unexpected twists that will keep the audience hooked.”
The actress plays the role of Manjiri in the show and shared that it’s the character that drew her to the show. She said, “I could relate to her a lot. She is sweet, simple, responsible, and has this witty side to her. Manjiri is very similar to me in real life. She’s someone who is always there for her family, has a sweet nature, but knows how to handle situations with a bit of wit. She’s the kind of person who holds the family together in her own unique way,” she added.
Aarti pointed out that the show has a fresh storyline, adding, “The way it’s written and portrayed makes it relatable for modern audiences while still keeping the essence of traditional drama intact.”
“The audience will connect with the family relationships and the mix of drama and emotions in the story. Everyone will see bits of their own families or relationships in it,”
“I’ve usually played characters that were more intense or serious. Playing a Marathi girl is actually new and interesting for me. This character, on the other hand, is lighthearted, fun, and relatable. It’s a refreshing change for me, and I’m loving every bit of it,” she added.
Aarti is enjoying her time on the set of the show and shared that the experience so far has been amazing. Talking about the cast and crew, she said, “Everyone is so talented and supportive. The atmosphere on set is so positive and collaborative—it really feels like a family. I’ve learned a lot from my co-stars, and we have so much fun in between shots.”
The name of the show is quite interesting. When asked what makes a jamai no. 1, Aarti said, “A jamai no. 1 has to be someone who wins everyone’s hearts, whether it’s with their charm, wit, or by just being there for the family. In our show, there’s a lot of fun and drama around this idea, and I’m sure the audience will love it.”
