- Ankita Sharma Age : 25 Show: Amrit Manthan Playing mother to eight-year old Bani (Ananya) and six-year-old Jyoti (Dishti) Ankita is so fond of her "little angels" in the show that she wishes she was their real mom! "They are naughty but professional," smiles Ankita who is enjoying her television motherhood as Nimrit. Unlike most moms who are more caring and nurturing, Ankita's character is very protective about her daughters. In fact, she plays the dual role of mother and father to them. She fights like a tigress when it comes to their rights. However, off screen the trio is more friendly and fun-loving. Says Ananya's mother Rinki Aggarwal, "Ankita is more like an elder sister to them. She plays games and dances with them during the break. She actually comes down to their level which is why Ananya loves her."
