, says that she loves the title of the show. She adds that the storyline is very apt for what is happening in society today.
'I loved the title and I'm happy that it's not some typical show. I am looking for
bhavya
love from the audience too. The storyline is absolutely relevant in these times … in today's world where
confidence
is only being slim here, we have our Bhavya who is sweet, beautiful, confident and talented.
She stands for herself without fear. We need to boost this confidence in today's youth that talent is more important than looks and they should strive for the right thing … I am absolutely privileged to be a part of this wonderful show,' she says.
Talking about
body shaming
, she says, 'Who doesn't face body shaming these days everyone who is chubby faces it. The important part is that people are aware of this and talk about it. The show is actually associated with issues where being slim is everything.
People go to any extent to stay slim. This kind of show is needed in these times.'
Sharing more about her role, she says, 'I am playing Priya Jaiswal, the bahu of the family, Rishank's (the lead of the show) aunt. She is mean and insecure and wants to be good to everyone just to have a place in the family. I am sure there will be more colours to my character when the story unfolds. I love playing with this charcoal.'
She adds, 'Obviously, I don't relate to the character.
She is mean and insecure, unlike me. But yes, I love playing someone, who is not like me, with conviction. It gives me an idea of where I stand as an actor.'
Talking about being associated with Sphere Origin, she says, 'I have worked with them briefly before on a project and my experience then and now has been wonderful. They are professionals and so am I … so I think it's gonna be a long association I hope and I wish.'

Hiten Tejwani: Success for me is being loved and known by everyone
Hiten Tejwani, known for his role in Meri Bhavya Life, emphasises the importance of a positive mindset, believing that rejections often pave the way for better opportunities. Hiten Tejwani , currently seen as Nitin in Meri Bhavya Life, reflects on the journey so far. The actor shared the one piece of advice that has shaped his perspective: 'If you don't get something, it's because something better is coming your way. ' He adds, 'Whenever I didn't get selected for a role or heard something like 'looking forward to working with you,' soon after, something bigger and more fulfilling came along. That mindset keeps me positive, always.' For Hiten, success isn't just about accolades or ratings. 'Success is when you're loved and known by everyone. That's the biggest award for me. Not just in your own city or country—but when people around the world know you. That, to me, is true success,' he said, candidly adding, 'I've not even reached halfway yet, but I'm on the path. I'll get there.' The actor believes he still has a long way to go to achieve that and mentioned that he hasn't even reached halfway yet. He says, "But I am on the path; I'm getting there. And I will reach there.' Having worked in the industry for years, he is also aware of the assumptions people make about actors. 'People often think we're like the characters we play. For example, they meet me and say, 'You're actually fun-loving and full of life—we thought you'd be serious or rude!' That's the beauty of being an actor. You live lives so different from your own,' he said.
