MUMBAI: There are very few actors who gain immense popularity from their debut show and one of them is Samiksha Jaiswal who gained a humongous fan following with her character portrayal as Mehek in Zee TV’s Zindagi Ki Mehek.
Samiksha was later seen in Colors’ Bahu Begam where she played a multi-shaded character.
Samiksha, who recently went live with her Zindagi Ki Mehek co-star Radha Bhatt, spoke in brief about her Zindagi Ki Mehek journey, life in lockdown and more.

In one of the conversations, Samiksha spoke how she felt when her character changed to a boxer in Zindagi Ki Mehek.
She also mentioned how variation is required to break monotony. She shared, “It was completely opposite to the role of Mehek, who was a simple and homely girl who loves to cook. But in the second season I played a boxer out of nowhere. I used to feel embarrassed about what I was doing on national television while shooting boxing scenes as I didn’t know boxing. However, Saurabh sir and I had a chat that we are taking a chance. I think I liked having variation as I was getting bored after playing the same character for two years. I don’t know how Akshara (Hina Khan) from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai played the same role for eight years. It is very difficult to play one part for your whole life.”
