Apara Mehta Advocates Modernity for Women
Apara Mehta: Women deserve freedom, education, skills; it’s time we let go of outdated systems · thehansindia.com

Apara Mehta is a famous actress who has been working in TV shows for over 30 years.

She is known for her role in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'.

In her new show 'Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani' on Sun Neo, she plays a very traditional and old-school character named Rajeshree Bua.

But in real life, Apara is very modern and believes that women should have freedom, education, and the chance to be independent.

She thinks it's time to let go of old traditions and give women more opportunities.

Apara chose this show because she liked the concept and the idea of wearing Rajasthani clothes for the first time.

Her character in the show is very different from her personal beliefs, as Bua believes in following old traditions and customs strictly.

Quotes

Apara Mehta

Veteran actress and the new addition to the cast of 'Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani'

“Over the years, I have been part of nearly thirty-five daily shows and have worked with almost every television channel, even some that no longer exist today. However, Sun Neo was one channel I hadn’t worked with before. At the time, I was receiving several daily show offers. But the moment I heard the concept of Beendani and understood my character, something just clicked. I felt, this is the one I want to do. That’s why, after a six-month break, I decided to return to a daily show. And what made it even more special is that I am wearing Rajasthani attire for the first time, and I truly loved every bit of it.”

“Being modern doesn’t appeal to Bua, and she feels that following age-old traditions is what keeps a family together. Her thinking is very old-school. That said, she isn’t negative at all. She simply believes in doing things the way they have always been done. Change is not something she welcomes, and even accepting today’s mindset feels difficult for her.”
