Sarika Bahroliya finds a real family in her reel family on the sets of her show

Families are our pillar of strength; to have a family is a pure blessing. For those who are not Mumbai-based, ‘family’ is a distant affair! Who would know this better than actress Sarika Bahroliya, who has been away from her family ever since she started shooting for Gudiya Humari Sabhi Pe Bhari? It is the first time she has been away from her family for so long, and due to the current lockdown, she couldn’t make it back home, to Gwalior.But her on screen family makes sure that she is taken care of.
Sarika Bahroliya feels grateful to have found her second family in Mumbai, says, “The lockdown has taught me a lot and has been kinder than I thought. Initially, it was tough to pass days because I have never lived independently. I realised that I have two families now. I didn’t know I was loved so much. It has not only made me mentally strong but has also helped strengthen my bond with all of them.” To this her on screen father Ravi Mahashabde adds, “Sarika is nothing less than a daughter to me. One can imagine how distressing it can be to stay away from family during such difficult times. Nonetheless, she has us as her family here in Mumbai. We keep calling and checking up on each other every once in two days, sometimes even twice in a day. I try to keep her motivated and ensure she is taking it easy on herself.”
