Mumbai, Aug 2 (IANS): Actress Neha Rana, who plays the titular role in the upcoming show 'Megha Barsenge', has shared about the most challenging aspects of her character.

The actress emphasised the difficulty of portraying the many emotions Megha experiences, from the initial excitement of marrying an NRI to the painful realisation of abandonment and her subsequent determination to confront her husband.

Talking about her role, Neha shared: "It is incredibly fulfilling to portray Megha’s journey from being a wide-eyed bride to a woman who finds herself questioning everything she once believed in. One of the most challenging aspects of this role was capturing the many emotions that Megha goes through -- from the initial excitement of marrying an NRI to the devastating realisation that she has been abandoned, and finally, her determination to confront her husband."

"I feel responsible for bringing out each sentiment with utmost sincerity and rawness, honouring strong women who have been in Megha’s shoes. I hope our show will lend a voice to the silent storm of bride abandonment," she added.

Actor Neil Bhatt, who plays Arjun in the show, added: “The show sparks crucial conversations about bride abandonment. This issue often goes unaddressed, and I believe it's important for television as a medium to bring everyone's attention to it."

"In a world where we often hear about toxic masculinity, it's refreshing and necessary to showcase men who are catalysts for positive change. If my portrayal can inspire even a handful of viewers to reflect on these issues or stand up against injustice, I'll consider it a job well done," added Neil.

Talking about the show, Kinshuk Mahajan, who portrays Manoj, said: “It has been both challenging and eye-opening. As an actor, I've always strived to portray diverse characters, but playing a con man who exploits the dreams and trust of an innocent bride has been particularly intense."

"My character represents a dark reality that unfortunately exists in our society. Manoj's actions are reprehensible, and I hope that by showcasing the manipulation involved in such schemes, viewers will be alert to these dangers," he added.

Set in Amritsar, 'Megha Barsenge' follows Megha, a newlywed bride, who is caught in the throes of treachery as she is abandoned by her NRI groom, Manoj. Amid her struggle, she finds an unexpected ally in Arjun, an IAS officer who aids her quest to confront the elusive groom.

Produced by Parin Multimedia, ‘Megha Barsenge’ will premiere from August 6 on Colors.
