The courtroom drama in Star Plus‘ popular show Udne Ki Aasha, produced by Rahul Tewary Productions and Rolling Tales Production, is at a new high with Roshni’s deception pushing the Deshmukh family into a legal battle. Actress Radhika Vidyasagar, who essays the role of Renuka Deshmukh, opens up in an exclusive chat with IWMBuzz.com about the emotional turmoil, the recent TRP dip, Renuka’s evolving dynamics, and her thoughts on victim narratives in today’s society.
Talking about the major twist where Roshni (Tanvi Shewale) drags the Deshmukhs to court, Radhika shares that viewers can expect plenty of drama in the coming episodes. “Yes, Roshni has played it so badly against the Deshmukhs that she has dragged the family to the court. There will be a lot of drama, twists and turns in the court itself. Roshni has committed a lot of mistakes; hiding the child has been her biggest of all, and nobody can accept it. Now, Roshni has become a vamp-like character.”
The actress addresses the recent dip in ratings and admits that while it feels disappointing, it does not impact the cast’s dedication towards performance. “Yes, there is a dip in the TRP, and they say it’s because of IPL. Whatever the reason, it feels sad because we were one of the top shows last year. Definitely, it doesn’t affect the performance at all, and for an actor, it should never affect, and I never feel affected,” she states.
Renuka’s interpersonal relationships with all the characters vary, and are exciting to watch. Talking about it, she says, “I enjoy playing Renuka as a whole, no matter who is in front of me. Yes, her equations are different with Sachin, Sailee, Tejas, Roshni, etc., and this makes her interesting.”
Addressing the issue talked about in the show, about women misusing sympathy or legal narratives for personal gain, Radhika says, “Shockingly, there are so many cases where girls are playing the victim card nowadays. This was not the case earlier. It’s sad. No one should play the victim card. If you are not getting along, get separated and live peacefully rather than playing a victim card,” she concludes.
