Rathi and Reena. The excitement isn't limited to the audience alone — the cast is equally thrilled to bring the new season to life, especially actress Anumol, who portrays the beloved Dr. Rathi. ETimes caught up with
for an exclusive glimpse into her excitement ahead of the big premiere.
"When I was reading the script, with every passing scene, even though I'm part of the project, I couldn't help but feel curious about what would happen next.
I know the fans are eagerly waiting for certain plot twists in the series, and I can't wait to reveal it all to them. I'm just as excited to see how they'll react to it," Anumol shares.
When asked about the much-awaited storylines, including the Reena-Rathi duo and Rathi's love story, Anumol admitted with a laugh, 'Even I'm eagerly waiting for all that!' Her response only adds to the growing anticipation among fans.
'We're introducing some new characters this season.
There are fresh interns joining RK Hospital, and some of our former interns have now become senior residents. As shown in the promo, Reena is back at RK Hospital, and it's going to be really interesting to see how her equation with Dr. Rathi evolves. Also, the once-hidden secret is now out in the open, so watching how they both face the world will be quite gripping. And yes, just like the fans, I keep asking the makers about Dr.

Rathi's love story too! I'm bursting to share all of this with the audience.'
Speaking about the immense popularity of the series, Anumol shared her excitement over the strong connection it has built with viewers.
'The show went off-air in August, and up until yesterday, there hasn't been a single day when I didn't receive at least 10 messages online asking about the next season. Earlier, I had around 20 fan pages — now that number has skyrocketed to nearly 200, all thanks to Heartbeat and Dr.
Rathi. It's not just me — every member of the cast has their own fan base now, even our director and producers have dedicated fan pages! The fans never gave me a chance to miss Heartbeat over these past months. Their videos, edits, photos, and posts have been truly overwhelming and heartwarming,' she added.
Recalling one of her most cherished fan moments, Anumol spoke about an inspiring online community called '
Dr Rathi
Girls' — a group formed by passionate fans of her character.
'Dr Rathi Girls is a community of young women who've been truly inspired by the character. They organise meet-ups, support each other through tough times, and even initiate social welfare activities. I'm genuinely touched by such efforts. One woman messaged me saying that, inspired by Rathi, she learned to drive and even bought her own car. Another fan from Chennai is now serving free food to people in need. These stories make me feel truly blessed.
It's in moments like these that I realise the show and my character have made the right kind of impact,' she added with emotion.
Speaking about the personal impact the character has had on her, Anumol revealed that Dr. Rathi has been a source of inspiration in her own life as well.
'I've actually adopted many of Rathi's good qualities into my own life,' Anumol said with a smile. 'But it has also had some funny side effects.
After being Rathi for 1.5 years, whenever I'm offered a new role — say, as an assistant or a servant — I catch myself thinking, 'How can Dr. Rathi, a senior doctor, be an assistant?. But honestly, I'm enjoying every bit of it. Living as Rathi has been a beautiful journey,' she concluded.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Contestants to enter the house along with their family?

Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is set to premiere on August 3rd, generating considerable excitement among fans. This season introduces a unique twist: contestants will be accompanied by a family member or close friend during the launch episode. These guests will briefly join the contestant on stage for an introductory task and emotional farewell, marking a first for the show. With just a week to go for the grand premiere of Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 on Sunday, August 3, speculation is running wild across social media. From potential contestants to the show's format, fans are eagerly dissecting every rumour and teaser ahead of the launch. One buzzworthy rumour creating quite a stir is that contestants may be accompanied by their family members during the launch episode, a format twist not previously seen during the premiere stage of the show. While family week, where loved ones visit the house in the final weeks, is a common feature across Bigg Boss formats, this season might introduce that emotional element right from the start. According to confirmed sources, contestants will be allowed to bring a family member or a close acquaintance to the premiere stage. Although they will not enter the house, these guests will join the contestant for a brief moment on stage, participate in a fun introductory task, and bid an emotional farewell before their loved one enters the house. This marks the first time in Bigg Boss Malayalam history that family or friends will be part of the launch episode, a move typically reserved for the grand finale or mid-season segments. Usually, family members are seen only in introductory videos or through video conferencing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Private Jet - The Prices May Surprise You!
