“I’m just very grateful as an actor that I am doing Anupamaa”: Ishita Dixit

Ishita Dixit feels thankful to be a part of Anupamaa, produced by Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi. The show has been performing exceptionally well, not just entertaining audiences but also inspiring them. Ishita, who plays Pari in the series, shared, “I’m just very grateful as an actor that I am doing Anupamaa. People are struggling so much to find work, and I see some of my friends giving auditions, but things don't always work out.”

“To be very honest, I truly feel in my heart that I am very grateful to be living in Mumbai and working right now, and I am very blessed,” she added.

As a performer, I also wish that when I perform something like that, or when I say something, those lines also trend. I mean, it’s a dream, because it’s a very nice feeling as an actor

Learning From Rupali Ganguly and Dreaming of Viral Moments

Several dialogues from the show trend almost instantly on social media, and Ishita hopes that one day her lines will go viral too. Talking about a recent trending moment, she said, “The ‘Maarungi’ (I will hit you) one is trending right now. That happened right in front of me, so we had a feeling that it would trend because she performed it so well.” She was referring to Rupali Ganguly, who plays the titular role. Ishita added that she closely observes Rupali’s dialogue delivery because there is so much to learn from her.

“As a performer, I also wish that when I perform something like that, or when I say something, those lines also trend. I mean, it’s a dream, because it’s a very nice feeling as an actor,” she shared.

However, Ishita clarified that a viral dialogue does not change her perspective on her character. “You are playing a character; you have to portray it the same way every day and deliver your dialogues or lines in that same manner. Even in future scenes, I don't think there are any perspective changes. At least not for me,” she explained.

When asked about viewers quoting the show’s dialogue in real life, she credited the writers. “As a performer, whatever lines or whatever things people connect with, I feel the writer writes them in such a way that they come across as very real. And when Rupali Ma’am or when anyone in our show performs, it feels quite natural.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever felt like anyone is trying to fake anything. I believe that is only possible because of the lines and the writers. Because our writers write everything in a very beautiful and very natural way,” she concluded.
