Mumbai, June 3 (NationPress) Actress Jayati Bhatia, currently starring in Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile, expresses her desire as an actor: “I don’t want to just blend in—I want to make people feel something.”
To immerse herself in her role, Jayati drew inspiration from her life's experiences and classic works, notably Shakespeare’s Othello, particularly the cunning character of Iago. However, her character, Bua Ji, is not solely based on literary references; she has infused her personal insights and observations into the portrayal.
Discussing her character, Jayati remarked: “Upon reading about Sharda Suryavanshi, I was instantly captivated by her psychological complexity. She doesn’t see herself as a villain; instead, she believes she’s maintaining the emotional stability she has created, with Reet being a disruption to that.”
She continued: “I often thought of Iago, who disguises his true intentions under a facade of loyalty, twisting reality so convincingly that others buy into his deception. I’ve encountered people in real life who can shower you with affection while simultaneously plotting against you. I took that duality and brought it to this role. The warmth of Bua Ji is genuine—it just becomes a weapon when necessary.”
The actress aims for audiences to feel a sense of confusion regarding her character.
Jayati explained: “Is she nurturing or manipulative? Is she safeguarding Raghav or pushing him away? I want viewers to become so engrossed that they start shouting at the screen whenever Bua Ji acts—then I’ll know I’ve succeeded.”
“As an actor, I aim to evoke feelings, even if that feeling is anger. I aspire to be a household name, even one that’s disliked, and I take pride in that because it signifies I’ve truly honored the character. I sincerely hope the audience is enjoying it as much as I am.”
“Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile” is enthralling viewers with its poignant yet turbulent narrative featuring Raghav, played by Bharat Ahlawat, and Reet, portrayed by Ayushi Khurana.
While their romance is at the forefront, the subtle manipulation and emotional intrigue stirred by Sharda Suryavanshi, or Bua Ji, enrich the storyline.
“Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile” is broadcast on Zee TV.
