Apara Mehta in Virrudh
Putting rest to all speculations about a rift between Smriti and herself, Apara will make an entry in Virrudh. She's playing Uttara, Sushant's mother who has brought up her son single-handedly. She is aware of his fondness for Vasudha. Uttara, coincidentally comes to visit Sushant on the same fateful night when Sushant is mercilessly stabbed. She realizes that Vasudha is Dhirendra Rai's illegitimate daughter.
Talking about her role, Apara says, "I had agreed to play Uttara a long time ago, but kept a low-profile. My role is very different. You will find me sans make-up, jewellery and heavy saris which people are used to seeing me in. I am keeping my fingers crossed as to how they will accept me," quips Apara. The two have been touch over the phone, through sms and "wished each other on their birthdays". "Smriti told me that I have a huge role in the serial and I take her word for it," smiles Tulsi's maa.
