Shruti Gholap on Playing Sumati in Jamai No.1: “Daily Soaps Build a Deep Emotional Connection with the Audience”

Shruti Gholap

MUMBAI: Shruti Gholap, who essays the role of Sumati in Zee TV’s popular show Jamai No.1 produced by Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah’s Stuido LSD, is winning hearts with her grounded performance. In an exclusive conversation, the talented actress opens up about the challenges of television, the emotional bond actors form with their characters, how she handles feedback—both online and at home—and what audiences can expect from her character in the upcoming track.

Talking about the television industry’s demanding nature, Shruti shares, “TV is a very demanding medium, no doubt. The schedules are hectic, but the beauty of daily soaps lies in how they create a constant emotional connect with viewers. When audiences see you every day, they start feeling like they know you personally.”

Shruti believes that a strong emotional connection between the actor and their character is essential. “When you live a character day in and day out, their emotions become your own. That emotional involvement is visible on screen, and sometimes, viewers start imitating or idealising those traits. That’s a big responsibility.”

Shruti says that the most genuine feedback she receives is from her parents. “My family is brutally honest when it comes to my work. Their appreciation means the world to me. My parents notice the nuances of my performance, and their encouragement keeps me going.”

While appreciation from fans is uplifting, social media can also be a harsh place. Shruti admits, “Trolling and negativity are part of the package. I’ve learned to not let it affect me. If there’s constructive criticism, I take it. But unnecessary negativity? I just ignore it. I don’t believe in giving energy to things that disturb my peace.”

Giving a sneak peek into what’s ahead, Shruti reveals, “The upcoming track will be very engaging. Sumati’s character will face some emotional and moral dilemmas, which will test her strength. There will also be major twists that will impact the entire family dynamic.”
