Anupamaa : Nidhi Shetty Talks About Prerna’s Hopeful New Phase And Love Story With Ansh

Nidhi Shetty, who is seen as Prerna in Deepa Shahi and Rajan Shahi’s Anupamaa, produced under their banner Shahi Productions Pvt. Ltd., believes that her character has a unique way of dealing with situations because of the experiences she has faced in life.

According to Nidhi, Prerna grew up without a family, which has made her more mature and patient while handling different situations. However, while trying to keep everyone around her happy, Prerna does not lose the essence of who she truly is.

“She's a hardworking and independent girl who has always focused on building a life for herself through her work. Even when she faced heartbreak and setbacks, she chose to channel her energy into her career and keep moving forward,” she said.

“When family expectations and personal happiness come into conflict, Prerna tries to handle the situation with maturity and patience. She believes in respecting her loved ones while also staying true to her feelings and what makes her happy,” she added.

For me, love is about feeling safe, respected, heard, and understood

Nidhi Shetty Opens Up About Prerna’s Understanding Of Love And Relationships

Talking about what love means to her personally, Nidhi shared that she finds some similarities between herself and Prerna but also believes that the two are different in many ways.

She said, "For me, love is about feeling safe, respected, heard, and understood. It's about having someone who supports you through every phase of life and accepts you for who you are.”

“In that sense, I do relate to Prerna. However, Prerna tends to love very selflessly and often puts others before herself. While that's a beautiful quality, I believe it's equally important to maintain your individuality and love yourself too. A healthy relationship should allow both people to grow together while still being themselves,” she added.

For Nidhi, playing Prerna has given her the opportunity to explore different emotions and showcase a new side of her acting. She feels that the current phase of Prerna’s journey is special because audiences are getting to see her experience happiness after going through difficult situations.

She said, "The most enjoyable part has been seeing Prerna finally smile and experience happiness after everything she's been through. She's faced loneliness, heartbreak, and disappointment for so long that it's nice to portray a phase where she feels hopeful again.”

“Exploring her softer, more vulnerable, and romantic side has been really exciting as an actor because audiences are getting to see a completely different side of her," she added.
