Playing Dr Deepika’s character and showcasing such a powerful and captivating storyline is a blessing for me. I can’t stop thanking and appreciating the writers for sketching such a brilliant character. All my life I have never personally faced gender disparity, neither at home nor in the workplace but donning the role of Dr Deepika, and going through her journey feels like I am standing in front of a very different and difficult world for women. As she faces discrimination, I face it with her in so many ways, I feel that I am merging with my character as I can understand her struggles. She is not only a headstrong and strong-willed woman but also a sensitive woman who gets hurt, who gets stubbed by words in her day-to-day life as a trauma surgeon, all because her gender is noticed before her profession. As I portray Dr Deepika, I represent the millions of women who face this in their real lives and I feel honoured that through me, I will be telling the story of their hardships."
