Kruttika Desai

's favourite bahu in the show, but the two actors have formed a great bond off screen. Sharing how they became good friends, Alice says, "Kruttikaji is a very senior and talented

actress

. When I first saw her on the sets, I was only watching her perform. Then, one day, she approached me and shared how she had seen me. This was very encouraging because I never thought she would have seen me perform before. She is extremely talented and just watching her is a learning experience."

Alice shares how she bonds over books and spirituality with Kruttika. She says, "We regularly started talking and sharing our experiences. I realised how we both had common interests in spirituality and we clicked over many wellness and spiritual conversations. It has been a great connect with her."

In the show, Kruttika aka Suman Pandya hates her bahu Raavi because she feels she is not a good match for her son Shiva (Kanwar Dhillon). Alice says "In the show, she hates me and does not like the fact that I am a part of the Pandya household. But, however now, in the show, things will change." She adds, "I enjoy acting with her and we have many scenes together. I am glad that I have formed a beautiful connet with Kruttika madam."

Alice has a strong role as bahu in the show. She says, "I am happy that I am portraying an independent girl, who wants to pursue the love of her life. She takes a lot of efforts to make Shiva (Kanwar Dhillon) accept her as wife in the show."
