Lovey Sasan on Saath Nibhaana Saathiya's 15 years; says ‘At times I miss being on sets and my team from the show'

As Saath Nibhaana Saathiya completes 15 iconic years, actress Lovey Sasan, now known as Loveyy Koushiik, reflects with warmth and gratitude on being part of the show's unforgettable journey. Lovey joined the family drama in 2014 as Paridhi Modi, and quickly became a beloved face in Indian television households. 'Being a part of such a successful show is truly a blessing,' Lovey shares. 'Till date, there are moments when I really miss being on set and my team from the show. We had such a wonderful time shooting—those memories are etched in my heart.' She fondly recalls bonding with co-stars Rashmi Singh and Uppekha Jain, calling them her 'partners in fun' during long filming hours. The show, which premiered in May 2010, became one of India's longest-running television dramas. Lovey entered the narrative after the exit of Rucha Hasabnis, who played the original Rashi. While some might expect comparisons, Lovey says she never faced any judgment or pressure. 'Paridhi and Rashi were completely different individuals. I was introduced as a new character, not a replacement, so there was never any comparison.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

Lovey also reminisced about her nervous first day on set. 'My first scenes were with Devoleena (Gopi) and Rupal (Kokila), and I was nervous—but everything went smoothly.' Even years after the show went off air in 2017, the actress continues to receive love from fans. 'People still call me Paridhi and send me the sweetest messages online. That connection means the world to me.' Outside of Saathiya, Lovey has appeared in shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Kitani Mohabbat Hai 2, Anamika, and more, but Paridhi remains her most iconic role to date.
