Since I am playing the role of a mother, I think the simplicity of my character is what appeals to me. Also, the honesty of her emotions and the love she bears for her daughter, Meet, is something the audience will love.

What challenges did you face while essaying the character?

The Haryanvi dialect is something I was not very comfortable with initially. It took me some time to become proficient.

So far it has been an amazing journey with Ashi. She has a very soothing presence on screen and off screen. With time I’ve grown very protective about her, just the way I am for my daughter.

What has been your most challenging role till date?

My most challenging role till date has been Sharda from Choti Maa – Ek Anokha Bandhan, which I did for Zee TV years ago. I had to learn a lot of things for that particular show, including the dialect as well as nuances of my character.

I would like to tell everyone that they should stay focused and work with conviction as well as honesty.
