Actor Mehul Nisar, who plays Anupamaa's brother Bhavesh in the show, gave fans a delightful glimpse into the behind-the-scenes fun. Sharing a video on his Instagram Stories, the actor captured himself and Rupali Ganguly enjoying the rain while shooting. The clip beautifully showcased their off-screen bond, full of smiles and laughter. Along with the video, Mehul added a playful text that read, 'Barish mein shooting, shooting mein shaadi. Jugaad se karo, shooting ki shaadi." Mehul Nisar In Anupamaa Actor Mehul Nisar, who plays Bhavesh in Anupamaa, earlier opened up about her character in a chat with IANS. He said that the character is multi-layered but has not been fully tapped yet. He said, 'Anupamaa is like home to me. Whenever the creatives have approached me, I have always come back to Anupamaa and will always keep coming back." 'Bhavesh, as a character, has not been fully tapped yet, and I'm sure that the creatives will do full justice to Bhavesh's character," added the actor.

Beyond her screen prowess, the actress often makes headlines for voicing her opinion on National Awards and said that TV actors, too, deserve to be honoured. In a conversation with Viral Bhayani, she said, 'There are National Awards for everyone from film stars to content creators. But there's nothing for TV artistes. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, others had the advantage of delaying their shooting schedules, but we kept working. When a film star works continuously, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop. I request that the government consider us also. We work very hard; it'll be nice to have some validation."

Produced by Rajan Shahi and Deepa Shahi under the banner of Director's Kut Productions, the show also features Alpana Buch, Arvind Vaidya, Manish Naggdev, Miloni Kapadia, Krutika Desai, Varun Kasturia and Zalak Desai in key roles.
