Rightly said. Her presence in the show makes a difference to the show. Makes it a classy show. This is one of the reasons even after 6 years of being on air the still attracts the best of acting talent to essay cameos.
It is her humility and down to earth nature that makes her acknowledge the role of scripts that played a role in her success.Very few actors can raise above the script and shine even in a badly written scene and she is one of them.

As Dadisa she gained immense popularity because of the reach of the show and I think she was one of the main reasons apart from the way the story was told and the production values behind the success of Balika Vadhu.
In fact she was the reason why this show caught my attention apart from that charming little girl.
There are vamps and there are vamps but the way her love and care for her family and her pride in her beendinis came throug despite her nastiness towards them is surely Surekhaji's contribution to the role.
Her love and pride in Anandi and Sumi was the reason was the reason why I found it difficult to hate her even when she was being so harsh.
Not everyone can convey such mixed feelings and emotions as she can.
Banegi Apni Baat was a cult show which was a truly urban based show which hstarted with a group of youngsters from all social and economic strata and traced their lives as they pass out of college and starting builings lives for themselves.
She played a role of a soft spoken well cultured widow who kept her three daughters rooted to the values with which she bbrought them up.
When I first started watching BV it was so difficult to believe that this is the same lady who played a role in Banegi Apni Baat which is so totally opposite.😆
BAB aired way before K shows ruined the tastes of Indian television audiences.
I think Surekhaji and Balika Vadhu are the two reasons why the content based shows made a comeback on TV.
i am sure the day when Surekhaji decides to call it a day and that day will be the end of Balika Vadhu.
Before BV came along i stopped watching TV altogether.Now every show I watch I compare it with BV to figure out whether it is worth my time or not and sadly none of them have been able to measure up to BV in terms of quality or performances led by Surekhaji.BV and Surekhaji have become point of references for me.
I think she won the best actress Jury award once before too. She definitely is one of the leads.
While watching Anandi's story I keep wondering how Kalyani Devi would have behaved in similar situation.Such is the power in her performance as Dadisa😃
Thank you Purnenduji for creating a character like Dadisa and thank you CVs of BV and Colors channel for casting an awesome actress Surekha Sikri in that role.👏
