Ruhanika Dhawan tells MUSBA HASHMI about her excitement to be back on TV with SET’s Mere Sai after a hiatus and how she was nervous on the first day of the shoot
What is your role in Mere Sai?
I play Rama, a brave and independent girl. She is looking out for her biological parents, who abandoned her outside a temple long back and got adopted by a lady who she calls Ajji.
How easy or hard was it to step into the shoe of the character?
It was challenging because I had to speak in Marathi a bit. I found it difficul to grasp, but my director helped me a lot in learning those words.
You have returned on TV after a while, how was the experience?
I am thrilled to be back on screen and excited to see how the audience finds it once my story is on air.
Were you nervous to be back on the sets after a hiatus?
Initially, I was, but once I started shooting, the fear vanished and now I am feeling happy and confident to be on sets.
Being the youngest, do you get that extra pampering on the sets?
No, not really. All the actors are treated equally but yes, it’s fun shooting with Tushar (Dalvi) sir.
As a child actor, how has your journey been so far?
My journey so far is so amazing and I look forward to roles that are unique and different. The biggest achievement for me is that people recognise me by name and wait to watch me on TV. This is the only thing I could have asked for.
