Amrita, best known for her roles in films like "Ishq Vishk", "Main Hoon Na", "Welcome to Sajjanpur" and "Jolly LLB", picked "Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hain" to foray into television.

In the &TV show, Amrita will be seen playing the role of a singer named Kalyani from the 1970s. She says the role was "easy fit" for her.
