People are liking Atharv's pairing with me. They are finding us cute and that’s what we wanted! 

Any interesting incident from the sets?

There are many incidents involving me and Vikram. We are the pranksters on the sets. Once, I was shopping for myself and came across a family that knew me as Devyani. I was like slightly shocked because we were in Rajasthan and people were recognizing me as Devyani, from a Marathi show! It was a really big thing for me. 

Can you cook? 

Yes, I cook. I can whip up delicious Marathi delicacies. Moreover, I can make perfectly round rotis. Also, I can cook Italian, Chinese and whatever you want.

What difference do you find between Marathi and Hindi TV industries?

I don't know why people ask this question…I don't even know how to react to this. It’s work, at the end of the day. It doesn't mean if it’s Marathi or Hindi…

How do you unwind yourself?

I go for a drive…with good music as my only company. 

Any interesting fan experience that you wish to share?
