Recalling her audition experience, she says, “I was a part of the Marathi industry, when the creative producer of Jyoti first spotted me on the television screen while flipping through channels. They were looking for a perfect fit for about six months and that’s when they noticed me. I was immediately called for an audition. It was post 11 in the night and I was giving my 17th take for the audition. I just felt all the shots I gave were nowhere upto the mark and I had lost all hopes of bagging the role. But to my surprise, the production house called me back and within 7 days I was signed for the show. All in all the show was an amazing experience.”

Even after 10 years of the show being concluded, the team maintains a WhatsApp group where they are in constant contact with each other.

Jyoti is currently airing on Dangal TV at 10am & 9pm.
