TellyChakkar got in touch with the actress to talk about her absence in TV, and how Parvarish as a show made such an impact on the audience. Reflecting on the same, when asked if she still gets recognized for her roles, she said  "I get a reaction everywhere, my DMs are filled with love for Raavi till date. If I put a selfie on my story where I am wearing specs, that’s it. That one picture will cross 100K views because everyone is circulating it, saying that Raavi has grown up now and she looks so cute with specs on. I get screenshots of the same, and I am like wow, the craze is very much alive. My parents keep telling me that they loved the show and my character. Even kids who are my age now or teenagers who were younger back then used to watch it and they feel the same."

When asked if there are any similarities between Raavi and her, she said, “I wear specs, that’s a similarity. She was very close to her mother and I am very close to mine. My mom’s my best friend for real but I don’t switch boys like Raavi did. She was very confused. I have never been confused about the boys I like. I have been very good at academics as well, co-curricular activities, so there have been a lot of similarities between Raavi and me”.

The actress has been missing in action for a while now, and Aanchal has now opened up about major surgery and a long recovery thereafter, something that the fans were oblivious about all this while. 

But after getting surgery done, she is back to her happy self and fans can’t wait to see her back in action on sets.
