When I took a gap of seven months from TV, my fans compelled me to come back: Neha Sargam

A page from the personal diary of Neha Sargam Hello everyone, this is Neha Sargam whom you see as Sita in Zee TV’s Ramayan. Firstly, let me wish everyone of you a Happy New Year and compliments of the season. Let me start by briefing you a bit about myself. I am born and raised in Patna, where I completed my schooling. Later, I pursued advertisement and sales promotion and marketing from Patna University. Currently, I stay in Mumbai with mom and younger sister, while dad is handling his business in Patna. Well, let me divulge that I was never interested in acting; always thought of becoming a singer. So to chase my dream, I went for the audition of Indian Idol 4. There, I made it till the second round but due to throat infection, I could not go ahead. Now, here comes the interesting twist on how my journey started in the industry. Well after Indian Idol audition, I started getting calls from production houses for roles. But as I was studying then, I rejected all of them. After graduation, Rajan Shahi saw the footage of my Indian Idol audition and gave me a call for his upcoming show. Rajan Sir came to my place and made my parents understand. Thoroughly satisfied, I finally gave my nod and thereafter did Chand Chupa Badal Mein for Star Plus. After Chand Chupa Badal Mein, I did a few cameos in shows such as Haar Jeet on NDTV Imagine and Punar Vivah on Zee TV. Currently, as mentioned above I am playing Sita in Ramayan. Talking about journey, it has been great so far. After Chand Chupa… I took a gap of seven months. During that period, I got so many letters and messages from fans asking me to comeback saying that they want to see me back on television. I think that moment made me return to television. It motivated and made me to work harder. On the personal front, I am a very homely person and like to spend time with my family. To unwind myself I watch movies and pamper myself a lot. So this is my journey till now. I am blessed to have such lovely fans. Whatever I am today is because of them. So a big thank you to everyone. Stay blessed!!
