Actress Anurekha Bhagat, known for her roles in acclaimed projects like "Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 - Agni Pariksha" and "Farzi," recently portrayed her first central role in the Watcho Exclusives series "State v/s Ahuja" alongside Ashmit Patel. Playing the character of Deepa Sawant, a maid who accuses Bollywood actor Ansh Ahuja (played by Ashmit Patel) of rape, Anurekha reflects on her experience working with Ashmit Patel and shares some valuable insights and memorable moments from the series.
Describing Ashmit Patel as sweet, happy-go-lucky, grounded, and a thorough gentleman, Anurekha highlighted a key takeaway from her experience with him. She shared, "From Ashmit Sir, I learned the importance of giving space to your co-actor to perform. As actors, we often tend to seek all the attention, but during our scenes, Ashmit Sir generously allowed me the space to showcase my talents. He fully embraced his character, Ansh Ahuja, without any airs of stardom. This gave me the power and freedom to shine in scenes where Deepa needed to be seen."
Reflecting on one of her most memorable scenes from the series, Anurekha shared, "Firstly, getting the character was something truly memorable for me. As an artist, you always have the hunger to perform and to showcase your versatility. One unforgettable moment on the set that will be etched in my heart is my close scene with Ashmit sir. After the scene, Ashmit sir and I were still in the zone, and the set went silent. Suddenly, Tarun sir approached me with a hug and said, 'Amazing. I'm speechless. It was a perfect shot, this was exactly how Deepa would have reacted,' and that was truly priceless. The entire set started applauding, and Ashmit sir put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'We got this.' So, it was a very special moment for me."
