She mentioned, "I am happy to be a part of Anupamaa. It is a big show and one of the best shows on television. It has been only four days that I have been short for the serial and I find everyone very nice. This is a new role and there is a lot of responsibility post the leap so everybody is only focused on work.”

Shedding light on her character she said," Shruti is Anuj’s fiancé who has been in a relationship with him for four years. She lives with Aadhya and Anuj happily. She is also a photographer who has a warm and lively personality.”

When asked about what prompted her to take up the show, the actress elaborated, “This is a legacy show and it is definitely one of the main reasons to take up the project. To add on, the production house is really nice and I am looking forward to playing my part. The characters of Anuj and Anupamaa have been loved a lot but post the leap I am sure the audience also understands that it has been a long time that the two have lived independently and it is only natural for the story to develop in this way. I am hoping that the fans will show me the same amount of love that they showed for Anupamaa and Anuj.
