‘Not every situation needs..’: Anupamaa’s Adrija Roy reveals a lesson she learnt in 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, Anupama actress Adrija Roy looks back at the year with deep gratitude and quiet reflection. For her, this year has been less about noise and more about inner growth, learning, and appreciating the journey she is on.

Speaking about what she feels most thankful for, Adrija shares, “I am genuinely thankful for the work I am doing right now. In our profession, consistency itself is a blessing, and I don’t take that lightly at all. I feel grateful to be part of a show that challenges me as an actor and allows me to grow every day. Beyond the work, I am thankful for my co-actors, the directors, and the entire team. Working in a healthy, respectful environment makes a huge difference, and I feel lucky to share the screen with people who inspire me and support me.”

2025, according to Adrija, has been a year filled with lessons. “This year taught me patience and emotional maturity. I learned that not every situation needs an immediate reaction. Sometimes, staying silent, observing, and trusting time is the best response. I want to carry this learning forward and apply it both in my personal life and professional choices,” she says.

It really makes you pause and think about life. 2025 taught me that life is short and unpredictable, and that we shouldn’t wait for the ‘right moment’ to be happy. It has taught me to live my life to the fullest, to value each and every moment, and to be more present — not just in my work, but in my relationships and everyday life.”
