Sriti Jha, who plays Aparajita in Oh Humnava Tum Dena Saath Mera produced by Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah’s Studio LSD, opened up about the emotionally intense journey of her character and how deeply connected she feels to Aparajita’s struggle and resilience.
Talking about portraying Aparajita, Sriti shared that she is currently experiencing a mix of nervousness, sadness, and pride as the story continues to unfold. “Right now I’m very nervous because the show has just started and we are still unfolding the story. In some scenes, I feel deeply saddened because I cannot imagine that people actually have to live like this,” she said.
She explained that what affects her the most is how Aparajita finds herself isolated even within her own family. “Nothing is working in her favor. Even her family believes Lalit is a wonderful person and they wonder why Aparajita isn’t making an effort to make the relationship work. They feel she isn’t even trying, which makes me feel bad,” Sriti revealed.
However, she also admires the strength Aparajita is slowly discovering within herself. “I love that Aparajita has now decided she won’t ask anyone else for help. She will handle it herself and do whatever it takes. She will put in her absolute best effort to get out of this situation and pull her family out of this trouble as well,” she added.
Speaking about the emotional conflict Aparajita faces, Sriti shared that Lalit understands her biggest weakness is her family. “Since Aparajita is finally raising her voice, Lalit knows that her weakness is her family. She doesn’t want to hurt them or reveal the complete truth about Lalit because she fears it may severely affect her father’s health,” she said.
She further spoke about a heartbreaking track in the show where Aparajita’s father, Ram Gopal, is forced into difficult working conditions. “To emotionally manipulate and blackmail Aparajita, Lalit forces her father to work at the shop doing fall-pico work. Despite weak eyesight and immense difficulty, he is made to continue. Aparajita feels terrible because her father was not just her parent but also her teacher,” Sriti shared.
Highlighting the emotional depth of the father-daughter relationship, she added, “He is such a great artist and weaver who used to make Maheshwari sarees, and today he has to do a job where people misbehave with him. Aparajita absolutely hates this.”
Sriti concluded by saying that Aparajita’s biggest strength now lies in embracing her own identity. “I think Aparajita is drawing her strength from realizing that she truly needs to become ‘Aparajita’ — invincible. The other roles of daughter, sister, or wife can come later. First, she needs to stand strong as herself, and only then will she be able to face everything.”
