TellyChakkar.com got in touch with Akanksha to know more about the character.

Speaking about Megha's character, Akanksha said, “Megha has faced a lot of rejection and is fighting with the society because of the dusky skin that she is born with. I can relate with the turmoil that Megha is in because in real life too, I’ve faced the repercussions of having a wheatish complexion. During auditions people would reject me because of my skin color and not because of a bad performance. I bagged this show because they needed a dusky skinned girl”.

She added, “Recalling my initial days in Mumbai, I used to give auditions for a lot of projects be in advertisements, tv soaps etc but often I used to get rejected as the producers would require fair and pretty looking girls”.

She said, “The moment I came to know about the requirement of a dusky skinned girl for a Colors’ show I was excited to give an audition for the same as I thought I would nail it. After knowing Megha’s backstory I could relate to it and was wishing to bag the part and finally I did”.

We asked the beautiful actress about the bond that she shares with the cast members, she said, “We are like a family, like literally. My onscreen family consists of me, Mayura, Dadi and my parents; we’ve been shooting since day 1 and we gelled along pretty well. I ‘m glad to be working with such warm people. Riya is like my younger sister. We’ve just started shooting with Omkar’s family and must say they too are very nice. I really adore the way Jaya jee (Bhattacharya) takes care of everyone. It’s great when shooting becomes fun with these people”.
