We did not give in to the stereotypes of how a TV actress should appear: Aditi Sharma on Kathaa Ankahee

Aditi Sharma, known for her portrayal of Katha in Sony TV's 'Kathaa Ankahee,' has been receiving immense love and appreciation for her performance on the show. Playing the role of a single mother, her depiction of Katha has captivated audiences, keeping them glued to their television screens.

In today's era, it is rare to find a TV show that defies the expectations and stereotypes associated with daily soaps, and even rarer to discover one that satisfies the desires of its audience. However, 'Kathaa Ankahee' on Sony TV has successfully broken free from these conventional norms, carving a special place in the hearts of its viewers.

During an interview with India Forums, Aditi Sharma, the actress of the show Kathaa Ankahee, shared her thoughts on the series, its impact in breaking stereotypes, and more. In this candid conversation, she expressed her heartfelt emotions. Reflecting on the immense popularity of the show on television, Aditi remarked, "It's an amazing feeling to see the show being loved so much. As actors, we always aspire for our work, characters, and shows to be appreciated, and that's exactly what's happening here. It's truly incredible. Our direction team, director, and my co-actor Adnan, we all share a great bond, and it's a wonderful experience to be a part of such a cohesive team. As an actor, the next milestone I seek is the audience's reception, and there's no greater feeling than knowing they are enjoying our show. I feel immensely grateful to be a part of this show; God has been very kind."

In addition, we inquired with Aditi regarding the acceptance of her character by the daily soap audience, despite it not conforming to the typical saree-clad archetype, and the show's success despite the presence of customary kitchen drama often found in such programs. In response, the actress expressed, "I believe we sometimes underestimate our audience, as they consume a wide range of content, including OTT shows, films, and even progressive content from Hollywood. Technological advancements have broken down barriers. We also watch many dubbed films. I feel we underestimate our audience's willingness to embrace different types of content. I believe that if we create something with conviction, like our show, the audience will accept it. Although our show was adapted from a Turkish series, our channel, producer, and director gave their best, and I followed their conviction. We didn't adhere to stereotypes of how a television heroine should appear. There were scenes where I was asked not to wear makeup, such as when Katha's son was ill and in the hospital. All of these decisions were successful because of the conviction shared by everyone involved. I trusted them, and it's truly amazing. I firmly believe that when you wholeheartedly invest your conviction in a project, the audience is bound to embrace it."
