Anupama Solanki, currently seen in Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah, admits that while being selective in the television industry can be risky, she’s willing to wait for roles that truly challenge her.
“I am very choosy when it comes to selecting my TV projects,” Anupama says. “Sometimes, it is very risky to be choosy but I wait for the challenging roles. It takes time to materialise but I am patient.”
Talking about her current role, she reveals, “This is the first time I’m playing a positive Dabang character on TV. My character Sudha has returned from Dubai and is extremely strict and volatile, especially with her husband, played by Aarya Babbar.”
The show Jagriti has recently taken an interesting turn with a major plot development, “The storyline has changed — Kalikant, played by Aarya Babbar in a double role, will die. He plays both Shashikant and Kalikant — twin brothers with opposite personalities. Shashikant is calm and knows how to handle Sudha.”
Anupama teases that an intriguing twist is on the way. “There’s a big twist coming between Sudha, Kalikant and Shashikant. I’m sure people will love this new development.”
Reflecting on her past roles, she emphasizes her drive to explore different shades of characters. “In Nath, I played a simple village girl named Kalawati. In Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai, I was a greedy woman. In Jamuniya, I portrayed a fashionable, intelligent character who loved plotting. Now in Jagriti, I’m a powerful woman who doesn’t do silly things — whatever I do, I do in Danke Ki Chot Pe.”
On joining an ongoing show, Anupama acknowledges the difficulty. “It’s always challenging to enter a show midway, but I’m confident the new storyline will grip the audience. I’m excited for my fans to see me in this new avatar.”
