Mahhi Vij on her bond With Rishita Kothari: “She feels like my own child”

COLORS’ family drama Seher Hone Ko Hai is slowly building its emotional intensity, and a key reason is the bond between Kausar and Seher. Played by Mahhi Vij and Rishita Kothari, the mother–daughter relationship feels natural on screen, and this connection goes beyond the script. The emotional scenes viewers see are supported by a genuine bond that has developed between the two actors off-screen.

Kausar’s Unfinished Dream and Her Fight for Seher

Set in a Lucknow household, Seher Hone Ko Hai follows the story of Kausar, a mother shaped by sacrifice. She once had to give up her dream of becoming a doctor due to circumstances beyond her control. That lost dream now drives her to ensure her daughter, Seher, does not face the same struggles. Kausar is determined to protect Seher’s future, even if it means standing alone against difficult situations and harsh realities.

An Instant Connection Beyond the Camera

Off screen, Mahhi Vij has spoken about the close bond she shares with Rishita Kothari. She revealed that from their very first meeting, there was an instant connection. Both felt they looked alike, and Mahhi felt Rishita could easily pass as her real-life daughter. Rishita also shared that Mahhi reminded her of her own mother. Over time, this connection grew stronger and turned into a relationship that feels like family.

Mahhi shared that her mother often cooks for Rishita, and they eat together on set. She genuinely feels like she has one more child now. Mahhi has her children at home, and then she has Rishita on set; her emotions and concerns are the same for both. She added that the warmth viewers see on screen reflects their real-life bond.

Emotions That Flow From Real Life to the Screen

The emotional closeness between Mahhi and Rishita is evident in their scenes together. While shooting their first important scene, both actors became emotional and teared up. Even now, small moments on set often turn emotional because the story itself is intense. Mahhi shared that when she is away, she keeps thinking about Rishita—whether she has eaten, if she is tired, or how her shoot is going.

She also mentioned that once Rishita finishes her scenes, she looks for Mahhi first, which shows how close they have become. As the storyline moves into deeper emotional territory, with Kausar standing stronger than ever for Seher’s future, this real-life bond is expected to add depth to the drama. Viewers can look forward to emotional moments that may bring significant changes to both characters' journeys.
