When that hope breaks it hurts her deeply. I focused on that feeling of betrayal, sadness, and helplessness especially because everything she has endured is for her daughter’s future” she explained.
Ashika also revealed that the toughest part of playing Deepa was showing her pain without expressing it openly. “The most difficult part was portraying Deepa’s inner struggle.

Like her I believe in moving ahead with dignity instead of holding on to someone who doesn’t value you” she added calling the character both real and inspiring.
