Exclusive: Wagle Ki Duniya's Sugandha Mishra on how she keeps her baby girl entertained; says ‘I'm doing everything from funny voices to beatboxing'
Comedian and actress
Sugandha Mishra
, currently seen as the over-the-top Suman Gadhiya in
Wagle Ki Duniya
, is winning hearts both on screen and off it. In an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, the multi-talented star opened up about
motherhood
, her creative bonding time with her baby girl, and the balance between her reel and real-life roles.
'Motherhood has transformed me in the best way possible!' Sugandha shared. 'It has made me grow into a more elevated, composed, and honestly, more creative person. With my little one, I'm constantly coming up with new ways to entertain her—because we keep her screen time limited. So now I'm doing everything from
funny voices
to beatboxing and even making up silly rhymes.'
She added with a laugh, 'Even though she's just 15 months old, she's already started mimicking animal sounds—lion, dog, cat—even before saying 'mama' or 'papa'.
It's the cutest thing ever. She's my little audience, my biggest cheerleader.'
Balancing her on-screen chaos with her off-screen cuddles hasn't been a challenge, Sugandha said. 'Not at all! I actually love it. Being on set, diving into a crazy character like Suman, and then coming home to my little munchkin—it's the perfect balance. And no matter how exhausting the day has been, the moment I see her running towards me with that big smile, everything else just fades away.
That's my biggest recharge.
Truly, nothing compares to that feeling.'
For those unfamiliar, Sugandha plays Suman Gadhiya in Wagle Ki Duniya—a dramatic woman pretending to research a role while secretly plotting something else. Using her charm, she convinces Yamini (played by Manasi Joshi) to let her temporarily stay at Sai Darshan Society. While she claims she's observing middle-class life for an upcoming role, her motives are far from innocent.
Whether it's beatboxing for her toddler or embracing quirky characters on screen, Sugandha Mishra continues to delight audiences with her infectious energy and heartfelt honesty.
