Behind the Scenes with Jayati Bhatia: The Mindful Artist
While audiences remain captivated by the emotional twists and turns in the popular television show Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile, one actress stands out for her compelling portrayal of the scheming Sharda Bua. Jayati Bhatia, who brings the manipulative character to life, reveals a surprising contrast between her on-screen persona and her off-screen personality.
The Calm Amidst the Storm
In the current storyline, viewers are witnessing Raghav (played by Bharat Ahlawat) and Reet (portrayed by Ayushi Khurana) being drawn closer together amidst chaos and danger. Just as their relationship develops, Sharda Bua has once again stirred trouble with her calculated moves, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
However, behind the character's sharp manipulations lies an actress who embodies tranquility and self-awareness. Unlike her scheming television counterpart, Jayati Bhatia maintains a calm, composed demeanor and stays deeply connected to her inner self throughout her workdays.
Unique On-Set Rituals and Creative Space
While many actors use their breaks between scenes to catch up on sleep, Jayati has developed a different approach that keeps her creatively engaged. "I don't nap on set because I prefer to be present," the actress shares. "If I sleep deeply, it takes time to come back to earth. Also, I feel my face gets puffed up when I nap," she adds with a laugh.
Her makeup room serves as her sanctuary—a quiet space where she finds peace despite being enclosed from all sides. "I love my space in the makeup room," Jayati confesses. "I feel at peace there." This special corner becomes her creative hub where she prepares mentally for her scenes after completing hair, makeup, and costume requirements.
A World of Literature and Imagination
When not rehearsing her lines, Jayati immerses herself in the rich world of Hindi literature. She's currently enjoying essays by the master satirist Harishankar Parsai, whose works provide both intellectual stimulation and creative inspiration.
Her time between scenes might also include listening to entire music albums or simply sitting in quiet contemplation. "I'm not a phone person," she reveals. "I like being by myself, talking to myself, and imagining things. I've always had an imaginary world of my own, and I'm very happy in it."
This mindful approach to her craft—staying alert, emotionally grounded, and creatively engaged—allows Jayati to bring remarkable depth and authenticity to her performance as Sharda Bua. Her ability to maintain this balance between intense character work and personal tranquility demonstrates the discipline of a truly dedicated artist.
As Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile continues to hook viewers with its emotional storyline and complex characters, Jayati Bhatia's thoughtful approach to acting ensures that Sharda Bua remains one of the most intriguing figures in the narrative, keeping audiences guessing about what scheming move she might make next.
