Growing pains: Ishita sad to leave Uttaran

Uttaran (Colors) is heading towards a leap which means that child actors Sparsh Manchandani (Ichcha) and Ishita Panchal (Tapasya) will soon make way for their adult versions played by Srijita De and Rashmi Desai respectively. However, unfazed by being replaced on the show, 11-year-old Ishita is only worried about missing her friend Sparsh.

She says, "Sparsh is a very dear friend of mine and I'll miss her terribly. I met her for the first time during the auditions but we didn't get to know each other then. After shooting began, we became very good friends. In fact, now we are like sisters. We hope that both of us get an opportunity to work together again."
The young star is determined to keep in touch with Sparsh, saying, "We will both continue to meet on the sets. I'll go to her place and she will also visit me. Just because we aren't shooting for Uttaran, it doesn't mean that we won't meet each other."

As for her experience on Uttaran, Ishita feels blessed. She adds, "Uttaran has given me everything. It feels great to have gotten to play Tapasya and showcase my talent. I am very thankful to God that I got the opportunity to work here; it is one of the best shows on TV."

Ishita is also going to miss being pampered on the sets. "Everyone here gives us whatever we ask for. We even have our own kitchen sets that we play with when we are not shooting. I will miss everyone and all the masti we do here" she quips.

Both Ishita and Sparsh are still shooting for the show and have no idea when the leap will take place. Even so, they've both decided to have a blast on their last day. "We decided that we are going to cut a huge cake on the sets and spray fake snow on everybody. We will have lots of fun," she says.

As for other projects, little Ishita says she has no time to even think about more work. "There is nothing else as of now. Now toh we are busy shooting for Uttaran," she signs off.

Uttaran airs every Monday to Thursday at 10pm on Colors.
