Shubhanshi Raghuwanshi, who essays the role of Divya in Zee TV‘s popular show Vasudha, has had a wonderful journey with the show. She talks to IWMBuzz.com about her growth as a performer and about the friendship she enjoys with the cast of the show.
Speaking about her evolution as a performer, Shubhanshi says, “Every character that we actors play helps us grow and get a better grip on our craft. We get to work with great actors, directors and writers who are incredibly experienced and whose vision is something that is too good. Moreover, we get to see ourselves on TV. So we get to know what works and what does not. It is an enriching experience for sure. Not just as an actor, but every character that we play changes us as a person. I have become accepting and more understanding of life. So I will say that my growth is more spiritual.”
Ask her about Avinash and Divya playing a vital role in the love story of Dev and Vasudha, and she says, “Avinash and Divya have been in love; they have had a love story of their own that had difficulties. They know love, understand it and know that love is worth fighting for. Avinash lives for Dev. Divya has taken Vasu as her sister and Dev as her own brother. So they have always been supportive of Dev and Vasudha’s love.
On Makar Sankranti plans, Shubhanshi says, “Our plans were simple. We were excited and got kites and manjha on set. We had a bit of kite-flying on the set. Also, Priya and I exchanged gifts. We gave each other kites.”
Talking about Makar Sankranti at home, she recollects, “Every festival has been special. My family lives in MP. So the celebrations have changed. But these festivals make us nostalgic of our old times. We used to get these Mitti Ki Gadiya, in which we would keep laddus and attach a rope around it and go around. We would ask all for more sweets and would keep it our ghadi.”
Shubhanshi tells us what best signifies the festival. “Every festival teaches us something about life. This festival marks the end of the harsh winters and kickstarts a beautiful spring. Such is the learning that I take from it. When spring comes, everything starts blooming.”
