Being an actor is not a bed of roses. From the auditions to the last scene of the show, especially in a daily soap, it involves hours of work, make-up, shoots, and re-shoots. Actor Mohak Matkar, who plays the lead character of Saraswati in the show Saru, shares that she gets resilience from her character.

In recent episodes, the actor had to perform an underwater sequence when the character Anika, played by Anushka Merchande, locked Saru inside a water tank, leaving her trapped and struggling to escape. While the scene is physically draining, Matkar embraced it and prepared herself for the shoot inside the tank. The shoot required multiple takes and stretched across an entire day.
