The show, which traces the journey of the Sandhu family who fiercely dream of moving to Canada, aired on Colors early this month. Having been in the industry for over a decade, she knows that the TRPs that follow will be the make-or-break factor for her endeavour. But Mehta is unfazed as she says, “We can only take it till a point; the rest is people’s choice and the show’s fate. When the first film, Jhalle [2019] that we [husband Ravi Dubey and her] had produced didn’t work, I was heartbroken. The project had taken so much time and energy; there were so many wishes and hopes attached to it. But by our next production, I learnt [to deal with failures]. It breaks your heart when a film doesn’t work, but this time, it lasted only for a few hours.”
The production house, Dreamiyata Entertainment, embodies the shared dream of Mehta and Dubey of telling stories that they believe in. She reveals that her husband has been overseeing the post-production work of Udaariyaan, balancing it with the shoot of his OTT series. “Ravi takes care of the back-end aspects like editing and background score. I take care of the creative aspect, be it casting, writing, designing the set and costumes. We had divided our work right at the start.”
Now, the Phulwa actor is developing another script for an OTT platform. Come May, she will head back to shoot for one of her productions, Qismat 2. “I am also acting in my next co-production, Saunkan Saunkne [Punjabi film]. Besides that, we have Punjabi film Sohreyan Da Pind Aa that is scheduled to release this year.”
