Her portrayal of a warm, emotional, and deeply loyal friend to Anu, played by Niharika Chouksey, has struck a powerful chord with viewers across the country.
The show itself has been showered with immense love from its fanbase, and a significant part of that praise is directed at the beautifully relatable friendship between Simran and Anu.

When Art Imitates Life: Saarvie's Personal Connection to Simran
What makes the chemistry between Simran and Anu so natural and comforting is the effortless emotional rhythm they share. Saarvie points out that "Every scene, every dialogue between us builds the essence of our friendship. That's what makes it so special. People don't just watch it — they feel it."
Interestingly, stepping into Simran's shoes came naturally to Saarvie because the character is a close mirror of her real-life personality. "As an artist, you adopt the character and get into its skin. But in my case, Simran and Saarvie are almost the same," she confesses. She describes herself as the guiding, caring, and supportive friend in her own circle, often acting as a mother figure. This personal alignment made expressing Simran's warmth on camera an "easy-peasy" task.
When asked if the role altered her perspective on friendship, Saarvie revealed the opposite. The role has, in fact, been a reflection of her truest self. "My real experiences shaped Simran. There's nothing coated or polished — people are watching the raw, simple and pure Saarvie Omana on screen," she states.

She advocates for showing pure and relatable friendships, moving beyond narratives solely focused on jealousy and negativity.
"It is really important to show pure, relatable friendships instead of only jealousy or negativity," she asserts. "Most people do have such strong bonds in real life. When they watch Simran and Anu, they feel seen — and that matters."
As for what the future holds for Simran and Anu, Saarvie admits she is as curious as the viewers. "I honestly have no idea what's coming, but I would love to see twists or emotional moments — whether big or small. Exploring new layers in their bond would be exciting," she concludes, leaving fans eager for the next chapter in this beloved friendship.
