Sanchita Ugale, who plays the lead role of Sukoon in the popular drama, recalls managing studies and doing theatre.
She said, "My home is in Vasai,
North Mumbai. So I used to come to Andheri, Western Mumbai for my studies and tuition. Meanwhile, I used to also do theatre and go for auditions. Managing was difficult but where there's a will, there's a way.So I would manage gracefully."
She continued, "I used to get up early and make sure to be in my college on time. And later used to learn acting. I joined the theatre and used to perform before getting into TV. I also had tuition in the evening. So during lunchtime, I used to try visiting Gurudwara, do some seva and eat
Langar there only. It was one of my favourite places."
She added, "Getting up early to returning back home by late evening to managing both studies and acting. I have my own experience and struggle, that makes me happy today. It's last year when I started doing TV I shifted to western Mumbai."
