Jagriti actress Rachana Mistry on World Music Day says, ‘Music is emotion, connection and healing'

Time of India21-06-2025
World Music Day, celebrated on June 21st, honours the timeless, universal language of music—something that connects hearts across cultures without needing translation. On this special occasion, television actress Rachana Mistry, who currently portrays the titular role in Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, shared a deeply personal reflection on how music has shaped her life and creativity.
'Some of the most beautiful moments in my life have been wrapped in music,' Rachana shared. 'Quiet evenings with soft classical tunes playing in the background, long walks where lyrics echoed my thoughts, and childhood memories of humming lullabies with my mother.'
For Rachana, music is more than just entertainment—it's her emotional anchor, both on-screen and off. 'I've always believed that music isn't just sound—it's emotion, connection, and healing,' she said.
Even during her intense acting scenes, she often turns to music to find focus. 'When I'm working through a complex scene, I sometimes listen to instrumental or classical pieces to centre myself.'
She is particularly drawn to the way music transcends language. 'What fascinates me most is how music transcends language—you don't need to understand the words to feel the emotion. That's true magic,' she explained.
On this World Music Day, Rachana hopes to celebrate music's quiet power. 'Whether you're dancing in your room, playing a flute under a tree, or simply listening in silence, music speaks. Always.'
As the voice behind Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, a show rooted in hope and resilience, Rachana's sentiments echo the very spirit of music—one of healing, unity, and emotion that lingers long after the last note fades.

Rachana Mistry dresses up as a bride for the upcoming sequence in Jagriti-Ek Nayi Subah; says 'The red lehenga made me feel like a real dulhan'

After an emotional journey filled with highs and lows in Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, Jagriti (Rachana Mistry) and Suraj ( Vijayendra Kumeria ) have finally acknowledged their feelings for each other and decided to get married. Set against a dreamy backdrop of candles, roses, and warm lighting, the wedding scene becomes a defining moment in the narrative — a culmination of longing and heartfelt connection. This marks a major turning point in the show, promising more layered drama and emotional revelations in the upcoming episodes. What truly elevated this sequence was Rachana Mistry's stunning bridal transformation. Draped in a regal red lehenga adorned with intricate golden embroidery, the actress looked nothing short of resplendent. Her look was completed with traditional bridal jewellery — a statement choker, classic jhumkas, a maang tikka, and a nath — paired with mehendi-clad hands and a luminous bridal glow. The styling struck a perfect balance between elegance and tradition, making Rachana's bridal avatar a true visual delight for viewers. Though this isn't the first time Rachana has donned a bridal look on screen, she shared that this particular avatar felt extra special. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo The deep red lehenga, styled with elegance and grandeur, resonated with the character's emotional arc, and Rachana herself was thrilled with how everything came together. Speaking about her experience, Rachana Mistry said, 'Even though I've worn bridal outfits before on screen, this look as Jagriti felt different — more heartfelt, more rooted. The red lehenga with all the intricate details made me feel like a real dulhan. Honestly, whenever I get married in real life, I would love to have such detailing in my bridal look — the statement choker, classic jhumkas, maang tikka, and nath, paired with mehendi-clad hands and that bridal glow — it all just felt magical. What made it even more special was the emotional depth of the scene — Jagriti is finally stepping into love wholeheartedly, and I could feel every bit of her joy and vulnerability. I'm absolutely loving this journey of playing Jagriti — she's strong, emotional, and so real. Shooting this wedding sequence was a beautiful experience, and I can't wait for the audience to see it.

Anupama Solanki opens up about the constant pressure actors face; says, 'There's always someone new coming in'

Actress Anupama Solanki who has been a part of Yeh Hai Mohabbatien, Nath- Krishna Aur Gauri Ki Kahani, Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai and Jamuniya and currently seen in show Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah, opens up about the constant pressure actors face in today's fast-changing entertainment industry. She shares how beauty, talent, and visibility are all tied together—and not always in a fair way. Talking about the struggle to stay relevant, Anupama says, 'Yes, staying relevant is honestly very tough. As actors, we are always working hard on ourselves. There is always someone new coming in, and the competition never stops.' She adds that the biggest challenge is to 'keep growing, learning, and showing something new in every project.' The actress also shares how balancing work, fitness, appearance, and social media presence can be draining. 'There's pressure to look good, stay fit, be active online, and still give your best as an actor. But I believe if you stay honest to your craft, the right opportunities will come to you,' she says with hope. Beauty standards have always played a big role in showbiz, and Anupama doesn't shy away from admitting it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo 'Yes, in many ways, beauty has always been a tough filter for actresses. Fair skin, certain body types, or age limits were seen as rules. It's painful, especially when talented girls get rejected just for not fitting into a look,' she shares. But she's also optimistic. 'Things are slowly changing. People are beginning to accept different types of beauty. I believe beauty is personal. You don't need to follow every trend to be beautiful.' With the rise of social media, appearance often gets more attention than talent. Anupama says, 'Many times, actors are selected for their Instagram following or looks. But being an actor is more than that. It's about emotion, connection, and storytelling.' On dealing with typecasting, she admits, 'If you do one kind of role well, people keep offering the same kind. But I don't let that define me. I keep auditioning for different characters and always work on my skills.'

It's very risky to be choosy but I wait for challenging roles: Anupama Solanki

Actress Anupama Solanki, known for her dynamic performances across television, is currently grabbing attention for her powerful new role in Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah. While she's always been selective about the projects she takes on, Anupama admits that her choosiness is a risk—but one she's willing to take for the sake of challenging roles. 'This is the first time I'm playing a positive Dabang character,' she reveals, talking about her role as Sudha. 'She's just returned to India after living in Dubai. She's strict, fiery, and unafraid to assert herself—especially with her husband, played by Aarya Babbar.' The ongoing show recently took an interesting turn with a major plot shift—Aarya Babbar plays a double role as twin brothers Shashikant and Kalikant. While Kalikant's death is set to shake the storyline, Shashikant's calm and grounded nature brings balance to Sudha's intense personality. 'Shashikant knows how to handle her. That's what makes their dynamic engaging,' Anupama explains. Speaking about the upcoming episodes, she teases, 'The story is going to take a sharp twist involving Sudha, Kalikant, and Shashikant. I believe viewers will love what's coming next.' Anupama also took the opportunity to reflect on her career choices. 'I'm very selective. Yes, it takes time to land roles, but I want to do justice to every character. In Nath, I played a village girl. In Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai, I was greedy. Every role I choose has to be different.' Even though entering a running show midway can be challenging, Anupama remains confident. 'With the new storyline, the audience will be hooked. My fans will see me in a new avatar, and I'm excited for that,' she signs off.
