Actress Adrija Roy, who essays the role of Rahi in the hit television show Anupamaa after its recent generation leap, has opened up about her experience of being part of the show. In an exclusive conversation with IANS, she shared her thoughts on joining the long-running series and her approach to work.
Excitement About Joining a Successful Show
When asked about her entry into the show, Adrija expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “When I was approached for the new generation leap, I was simply excited about becoming part of such a huge show. Anupamaa itself is a brand. Getting the opportunity to play one of the new leads in such a successful show was already a big achievement for me.” She further added that she was well aware of the central role played by Rupali Ganguly’s character, Anupamaa. “I always knew the show belonged to the character Anupamaa, and I was completely happy with whatever role and space I was being offered in it,” she stated.
Focus on Hard Work Over Fame
The actress also emphasized her dedication to her craft, prioritizing hard work over fame or ratings. “Honestly, I always believe that if you focus sincerely on your work, everything else falls into place. On the sets of Anupamaa, our producer Rajan Sir always tells every actor not to think about TRPs or rankings. He says, ‘Just focus on your performance and your work.’ I follow the same approach. I genuinely do not stress too much about external pressure. I simply try to give my best every day,” she explained.
