Exclusive - Anju Jadhav on entering Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress; says 'There will be a new phase that you will see in Armaan's life'

Anju Jadhav has come on board Rajan Shahi's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and will be seen in the role of Meher, a strong independent woman who will bring drama to the show. She hopes that her character resonates with the audience and they are able to relate to her.

She said, "If the audience does not connect with a character, that character cannot grow or leave an impact. For every actor, it is important to portray the role in a way that feels real and acceptable to the viewers."

"Every individual has a unique personality and experiences different emotions at various stages of life. Showing these human emotions honestly, and how they evolve over time, is what truly matters in a story and helps the audience connect on a deeper level," she added.

Talking about her character, she said, "She runs her own business and handles everything and is very smart. You will get to see various shades ahead as the story moves forward. She is the daughter of a politician and is very confident."

She mentioned that the character is different from what she has played before and added, "I can’t reveal much. It will be interesting to see how Armaan will help Meher in the situations that come in her life. This is a very good character, and you will get to see a new track with a lot of entertainment. There will be a new phase that you will see in Armaan's life, and it will be interesting to see how he handles everything."

Anju also revealed that it is always challenging to play a new character. She said, "The character I did before this, I played that for 4.5 years. When we accept to play a new character, it requires a lot of hard work, and you need to think like the character."

Every new character comes with a backstory, and the actress feels it's very important for the show. "Backstory is important for people to connect. It is important to know why my character Meher has this nature and why she takes such decisions. This shows the graph of the character and helps to build a character. This also helps to build connection with the audience," she ended.
