Sharing more on the series and her role Roop says,”The stellar cast is one of the vital reasons that I was excited to join the show. When everyone has had a fabulous body of work, you know there will be a lot of learning on sets & off it as well. Just being around Nana Patekar Sir , Prakash sir was like educating myself about various aspects of acting, making & even life as a whole. There was so much to learn from Meghna Malik ma’am as well, we bonded during lunches & dinners too. Such a fabulous actor great human being.”
Roop plays Madhuri’s character in the series - Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub’s wife.

Apr 25, 2026Interestingly Roop’s debut on ott happened quite late in her career. On this she says,”I think till 2019, I hadn’t given it a thought to go beyond TV, its when Covid struck and our lives changed, saw people passing away, that I had a realisation that life is short, unpredictable. I felt like experimenting & doing things that scared me. Theatre being one of them. The idea of having no cuts, no retakes, month long rehearsals was alien to me and scary too. But the realisation of life’s uncertainty gave me the strength to take a plunge. I did theatre, it was an amazingly satisfying journey to be on stage & not fumble. It gave me the courage to explore beyond TV & venture into webspace. I think everything happens in its own time and everyone’s journey is different. Mine was meant to happen this way, I am very happy with the way it happened organically. Numbers of years don’t matter.”
Roop shares under the captainship of Prakash Jha, working seemed like learning in an Institution and yet having fun with acting and making memories to cherish
