Ami Trivedi on playing a mother

Ami Trivedi said, “My whole reason to do this show had many factors. It was ticking all my boxes. Ek toh itna bada show hai, huge hai. Vaise toh mujhe ye pata tha but abhi show karne ke baad aur pata chal raha hai ki iska popularity itna bada hai. And also many people have told me that you should work with Directors Kut Production whenever you get a chance. So, when I got the chance to work with them I did not miss it. Also, the character is very good. I found it very interesting when Rajan ji told me about the character. I am feeling nice while doing this as this character has many variations and also I have been doing comedy since a long time and this is something different. Manjari has so many shades. I am happy and I am having the best phase of my life. Also, we have a wonderful team and you can’t ask for more.” Also Read - Rupali Ganguly starrer Anupamaa leads the most liked TV shows list; Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai out of top five

Ami Trivedi on her bond with Harshad Chopda

Ami further spoke about her bond with Harshad Chopda and what he calls her off-screen. She said, “The bond between me and Harshad looks good on-screen because we are the same off-screen as well. He calls me ‘Maate’ off-screen. Pehle starting mein aise nahi tha but ab aise feel hone laga hai ki mai toh iski maa hi hu. He keeps calling me ‘Maate’ only. Pranali calls me ‘Ami’ or ‘Amu’ but Harshad ka constant hai. Harshad behaves like my son only off-screen. Toh ab ye bond mother-son jaisa hi ho gaya hai.”

Ami further spoke about the craze about AbhiRa because of the recent episodes amongst fans. She said, “This show is hugely popular. It is the connection of the audience with the show that they feel whatever is happening is real. As actors we really enjoy the attention, sometimes we are surprised with the reactions. People keep giving their opinions on their favourite character or couple. The story of the show is doing so well. Getting Abhinav on-board was a brilliant idea. The trio of Abhinav, Akshara and Abhimanyu worked really well. The TRPs were also amazing.”
