Tera Yaar Hoon Main is all set to wrap up after a run of over a year. Actress Sayantani Ghosh who essays the female lead in the show confirmed the news in an interview with BT and shared, “Yes, our show is going off-air. The makers have informed that the show will have its last telecast on January 29.”
She adds, “I really get attached to things. I find it tough to detach from my work. And when you have been a part of a show for more than a year, it becomes difficult to let go. 2021 has been primarily COVID- driven so the only family apart from your own immediate family one has is the work-family. I was offered Tera Yaar Hoon Main when most actors were out of work, and the role of Daljeet Bagga was so special. It won me awards. In no time Daljeet and I became one. So definitely, the journey ending is painful.”
Talking about how ratings decide a show’s life span and how actors do take things to heart and feel upset when a show abruptly comes to an end, Sayantani says, “Of course I am going to miss going to the set. All of last year, apart from my home, the only other interaction in my life or presence has been with my colleagues from the show, my second family. I will sorely miss my every day routine of getting up early, going to the set, having a ball on the set with co-workers. Now, I need to make adjustments in life accordingly. Of course, it goes without saying that I am going to miss this routine. I will miss my makeup room. I had decorated my space according to my choice, put up photo frames and quotes. Any sort of ending is sad but I try to find solace in the belief that with every ending comes also a new beginning and I look forward to the next beginning in my life.”
She adds, “Every role that we play on-screen is close to our hearts because we put our heart and soul to them. Daljeet Bagga is surely one character who is very close to my heart. She is a relatable and realistic character; one of the best I have ever portrayed. She is not one of those typical daily soap leads who is just perfect. She has her imperfections and she has learned from her mistakes. She is one of the strongest women I have played on-screen and that is why she has connected with the audience.”
Sayantani who recently got married wants to enjoy some family time before taking up another project. “COVID has taught us Kya pata kal ho na ho. I like to plan things in advance, but now I will not plan anything currently and take each day as it comes. What is most important is to plan my honeymoon, though now I need to look at the COVID scenario before traveling anywhere. I will go to Kolkata and Jaipur and spend some quality time with my family there. Yesterday I got a message from the writer of my show who was also unhappy with the show going off-air. But at the same time, he wrote ‘Purane patte jhadenge tabhi toh naye aayenge.’ It struck a chord with me so I am ready to turn the page and open a new chapter in my life,” signs off the actress.
