Vaishali Arora on the success of Udne Ki Aasha; says ‘We're thrilled to have reached 500 episodes'
'We're thrilled to have reached 500 episodes — it's a big moment for all of us!' she says.
Vaishali credits the show's popularity to its multi-dimensional characters and evolving storytelling. 'Nobody wants to watch the same thing over and over. In a long-running show, it's important to give equal weightage to all characters — that's what keeps things engaging,' she adds.
She's especially grateful to the show's creator and her mentor.
'Kudos for really bringing this through. I'm so grateful to him for giving me this character, and also to Abdul sir for being such a great guide,' she shares.
What's next in Udne Ki Aasha? Vaishali hints at big twists and fresh energy. 'Fans can expect some new characters and lots of twists. Even we don't know everything — the writers always surprise us too!'
Off screen, her bond with the cast has become like family. 'They're genuinely happy and loving people.
When you're surrounded by such positive energy, half your work becomes easier. I actually miss them on days I'm not shooting,' she smiles.
Playing Riya has been deeply personal for her. 'She always stands up for what's right and speaks her mind. I try to carry that with me in real life too,' Vaishali reflects.
The love she's received from fans? 'Overwhelming,' she says. 'People write to me thanking me for supporting Sachin-Sairi, or for just being funny and silly.
That's the biggest gift I've received from this show.'
Among her favorite scenes are the couple competition at Akash's restaurant and Riya's emotional love confession. 'Both moments were special — one was full of laughs, the other full of heart.'
With 500 episodes done and the story still soaring, Vaishali's journey as Riya continues to shine.
