<\/p>\n
1. You\u2019ve played many motherly characters over the years. What makes Maeri stand out for you compared to your previous roles?
\nMaeri is very different from the usual motherly roles I\u2019ve played. Her life almost stopped 12\u201314 years ago, and despite once being a judge, she now has a carefree, almost childlike side to her. For me, this was a new space to explore. I\u2019ve tried to keep her real and not fall into the trap of making her a stereotype.<\/p>\n
2. The show has a mix of senior and younger actors. What\u2019s the on-set dynamic like, and have you picked up anything from the younger lot or shared wisdom with them?
\nThe atmosphere on set is wonderful. We have such a talented bunch of actors. Shabir is a superb co-actor and a genuinely warm person, since we\u2019ve worked together before, our rapport is great. Ashi is fantastic as well, and the younger lot bring in so much energy and enthusiasm, always eager to learn. Honestly, I look forward to being on set every day. And of course, food is everyone\u2019s favorite, our lunch breaks are always special!<\/p>\n
3. When you\u2019re not shooting emotional scenes, how do you unwind on set? Any fun anecdotes with the cast you can share?
\nOur set is always full of fun and laughter. Everyone comes prepared, but at the same time, there\u2019s nonstop masti, smiles, and support for one another. A little ritual we have is clapping whenever any co-actor delivers a really good scene, it keeps the energy high and makes the environment very encouraging.<\/p>\n
4. Mairi often comes across as the emotional strength of the Sinha family. In your own life, do you find yourself being that anchor, or is this something you\u2019ve discovered more through playing her?
\nIn real life, being a mother to two daughters, I share a strong emotional bond with my family. I\u2019m more like a friend to my daughters and a bestie to my husband. At home, there\u2019s always been a balance of emotions, and I try to make sure we keep smiling through life. That emotional connection is something I naturally carry, so in many ways it blends with what I bring to Maeri.<\/p>\n
5. The story moves between lighthearted family moments and intense drama. As an actor, which space challenges you more as an actor and which do you secretly look forward to performing?
\nFor me, the challenge is always to perform with honesty. Acting, when done naturally, should feel like it\u2019s not acting at all, and that\u2019s the toughest part. Whether it\u2019s comedy or intense drama, if a scene touches my heart, I know it will touch the audience as well. If it doesn\u2019t connect with me, I always make sure to discuss it and adjust so it feels more real. That way, the audience can truly feel it too.<\/p>\n
6. Shaurya and Anya\u2019s engagement brings joy to the family this week. Do you enjoy shooting these celebratory family sequences as much as the emotional ones?
\nAbsolutely! These celebratory sequences are always so much fun because all of us come together, and the set instantly feels like one big family gathering. The energy during such moments is infectious, there\u2019s music, laughter, and a sense of togetherness that feels very real. It doesn\u2019t feel like we\u2019re acting at all, more like we\u2019re celebrating in our own lives. These lighter moments bring balance to the intense emotional tracks, and as an actor, it\u2019s refreshing to experience both sides while shooting.<\/p>\n
