Young and talented actress Vrushika Mehta, who rose to fame as Sharon in Dil Dostii Dance, is back on-screen to entertain her fans. Vrushika recently joined the cast of Star Plus popular show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as Riddhima.
She has won everyone’s hearts with her natural performance. The actress has proved her versatility while playing the challenging characters in her career.
In conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Vrushika spoke about her character in the show, co-stars Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan and more…
What prompted you to take up the show?
My role prompted me to take up the show. Dr Riddhima is a child psychologist, which is something I have never gotten a chance to portray on screen before so I was very excited to do so. Besides, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is a brand in itself, hence I was eagerly looking forward to work with the team
You are joining one of the leading TV shows, do you have any pressure?
I have always maintained that there is pressure irrespective of joining a leading daily or a new daily. It’s eventually how you portray the role that counts and how the audiences are connecting to the role which is what matters the most.
How has your experience been working with the team and Mohsin Khan?
I have already shot a couple of episodes with Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan and it has been a great experience working with them both. They are both extremely talented and dedicated actors and lovely human beings. They have been very supportive since day one and have ensured that I am comfortable with the cast.
What will be the most challenging part for you to fit into the character and make a place in the audiences’ heart?
My character is a very different one in the storyline and I believe audiences will relate to it.
Now that you will be seen opposite Mohsin in the show, fans are sure to compare and make comment or criticize the pairing, how will you react? Are you ready for comparison?
My character is very new to the storyline at the moment, so there is not much I can speak about this right now.
How did you spend your break time productively when you were away from screens?
The lockdown was definitely a challenging phase for all of us, but I made the most of it by spending good quality time at home with my family.
Finally, your message to your fans…
A big thank you to all of you who have been so supportive and loving through every step in this journey, and all I can say without your presence in my life, the journey would have been incomplete.
