Life gives us many chances to laugh and share jokes. I remember a day on set for one of my latest episodes when I was shooting a morning scene with Katori Amma (Himani Shivpuri) and Bimlesh (Sapna Sikarwar).”

“In the scene, I had a line teasing Bimlesh, saying she could have fun with her husband anytime since they live alone, whereas I don’t get to see my husband for months due to taking care of nine children. After my line, Katori Amma humorously teased me, saying, ‘Without seeing each other’s faces, you managed to have nine children. Imagine how many you would have if you lived together like Gandhari and Dhritarashtra’,” said the actress.
