Aneri Vajani: I play a 25-year-old mother, who had got pregnant at 18

At 26, playing a mother doesn't come easy to the actor. However, she insists that her character is a far cry from the over-the-top matriarchs that have become a staple in Indian television. "I play a 25-year-old mother, who had got pregnant at 18. She is a practical woman who loves children but is [not] your typical daily soap-ish mother. This is the first time in my career of seven years that I am playing a mature character." The show has her reuniting with Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka co-star Kunal Jaisingh. "As artistes, Kunal and I like surprising each other in a scene. So, we avoid doing too many rehearsals."
