I have evolved, says actress Samridhii Shukla

Samridhii Shukla, who plays the lead role of Abhira in Rajan Shahi’s long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, believes that growth is an ongoing process. About her journey in the television industry, she shared, “I would like to believe that I have evolved. But I don’t know if that’s for me to decide. I can see many changes in myself, but I also know there’s a long way to go.” Shukla, who has been part of the TV industry for three years, constantly strives to improve her craft. “Even with Abhira, I am always looking for ways to reinvent. I keep asking myself—how can I perceive this emotion differently?” she said.

On the evolution of content in television, she said, “ If television wants to stay relevant, it has to reflect society’s shifts. In Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the women of different generations reflect these changes. Today, audiences want to see women who have ambitions and take a stand for themselves,” she said.
