Anupamaa's Adrija Roy on if she has received an equal lead status like Rupali Ganguly: ‘Mujhe apna kaam..’

Adrija Roy, who currently leads Anupamaa on Star Plus along with Rupali Ganguly, recently spoke exclusively to India Forums about whether she feels she receives the same leading stature as Rupali in the show. After successfully fronting shows like Imlie and Kundali Bhagya in the past, Adrija, who plays Rupali’s onscreen daughter, reflected on her journey and the significance of her character in Anupamaa.

Addressing the discussion, she shared, ''Aisa kuch kabhi soch ke kaam nahi karti hoon main. Raahi ke barey mein mujhe jitna bataya gaya tha ke Raahi jaisi hai, wo kya karegi kya nahi karegi, mujhe woh sab kuch mil raha hai. Mujhe kabhi aisa kuch nahi lagta hai, jaise aap ne kaha ke Anupama, toh she is my maa matlab, woh meri ma hai show mein. Raahi ko jitna kar na chaiye apne sasural ke liye, apni family ke liye, wo woh kar rahi hai. Agar uski maa usko protect kar ke rakh rahi hai toh usme problem kya hai?''

She further explained that even when viewers ask her similar questions, her answer remains the same. ''Jab bhi audience bhi mujhe aise questions puchti hai toh main unko bhi yahi bolti hoon ke mujhe aisa kuch lagta nahi hai. Aur Rupali ji, Rupali Ganguly ko toh main bolti hoon ke maine unke jaisa hardworking koi dekha nahi hai, you are outstanding. Sabse badi baat hai ke unke sath reh ke, unke sath kaam karte hue it has been a year almost and mujhe bahut kuch sikhne ko mila hai, toh mere liye toh bahut achi baat hai ke woh mujhe sikhati hai, mujhe itna acha lagta hai, aisa lagta hai ke main apni maa ke sath hi hoon. isliye jab aisi koi bhi baat hoti hai toh main itna sochti nahi hoon and mujhe lagta hai ke mujhe apna kaam karna chaiye and Raahi ko bahut kuch kar ne ko milta hai jaise ki hamesha jab bhi maine shows kiye hai woh sab positive tha, Raahi is also positive but jaise 2 3 months back mummy ke sath dance competition and all, toh uss time pe Raahi ka character thoda grey nahi bolungi woh apne point of view se sahi hai. Bahut kum female lead ko aisa milta hai ke at a time aap positive bhi kar rahe ho aur negative bhi kar rahe. Aaj mummy ke sath main show mein hoon toh mujhe dono chize karne ki opportunity milti hai,'' she said.

Jab bhi audience bhi mujhe aise questions puchti hai toh main unko bhi yahi bolti hoon ke mujhe aisa kuch lagta nahi hai. Aur Rupali ji, Rupali Ganguly ko toh main bolti hoon ke maine unke jaisa hardworking koi dekha nahi hai, you are outstanding.

Calling Rupali warm and supportive, Adrija added, ''Rupali ji ne kahi bar meri taarif bhi ki hai, meri absence mein bhi unhone meri taarif ki hai. She is very sweet.''
