“Thank you so much. As we reach the remarkable milestone of 100 episodes of Prem Leela, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve embarked upon together. This achievement is not just a number; it’s a testament to the dedication, passion, and love poured into every scene, every dialogue, and every character.”

Speaking about her most memorable moments from the journey so far, Saniya shared, “As we celebrate the completion of 100 episodes of Prem Leela, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. One of the most memorable moments was the day we filmed the episode where Fake Leela entered the house for everything she desired. Another was the revelation of Fake Leela’s real name—Aishwarya. It wasn’t just a turning point in the story it was a testament to the dedication of everyone involved, from the writers and directors to the actors who brought it to life.”
When asked if she expected the show to reach this milestone, Saniya said,
“Absolutely! Reaching the 100-episode milestone of Prem Leela has been an unexpected and deeply gratifying journey. When we started this project, we couldn’t have anticipated the overwhelming response and affection from our viewers.”
Speaking about the show’s relatability, Saniya explained, ”Prem Leela resonates deeply with audiences because it weaves together universal themes of love, betrayal, and destiny within a culturally rich and emotionally charged narrative. At its core, the show explores the complexities of love and relationships.The protagonists, Prem and Leela, are childhood sweethearts torn apart by a tragic event, only to reunite under adversarial circumstances. Their journey—from love to rivalry and back to love—mirrors the emotional rollercoaster many experience in real life, making their story relatable to a wide audience.”
Lastly, reflecting on how her character evolved and what she personally discovered through the show, Saniya shared, “Embarking on the journey of portraying Aishwarya, affectionately known as ‘Fake Leela,’ in Prem Leela has been a transformative experience. Initially introduced as an imposter assuming Leela’s identity, Aishwarya appeared manipulative, but as the story unfolded, her character revealed deeper layers—an individual driven by insecurities and a quest for validation. This evolution challenged me to portray her not just as a villain, but as a multifaceted character shaped by her circumstances. Through her, I learned the importance of embracing complexity in characters, understanding that even those who make questionable choices have their own stories.”
