Anjuum Fakih on her equation with Aishwarya Khare after Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, Dr Aarambhi & more

Описание: In an exclusive conversation with India Forums, actress Anjuum Fakih opens up about playing the bold and emotionally layered character of Dr. Avantika in the upcoming show “Dr. Aarambhi.” She introduces Avantika as a strong, independent, and fearless cosmetic surgeon who heads the cosmetic surgery department. Avantika is a modern woman who knows how to stand up for herself, speak her mind, and demand what she deserves. However, alongside her strength, Anjuum reveals that Avantika is also deeply emotionally vulnerable, especially when it comes to love.

She explains that Avantika longs for her partner to openly accept her in front of the world — to hold her hand, marry her, and give her the rightful place in his life. This powerful mix of confidence and emotional sensitivity makes the character incredibly real and relatable. Anjuum adds that viewers will witness an interesting dynamic where Avantika strongly takes a stand for herself in some moments, while in others, circumstances overpower her despite her strength.

Addressing the label of “the other woman,” Anjuum shares her honest thoughts on how society unfairly judges women. She points out that when a man is involved in an extramarital affair, he is rarely called “the other man,” but when a woman is in a similar situation, she is immediately branded as “the other woman.” According to her, this reflects a harsh reality where women are often pitted against each other instead of supporting one another. She believes the characters in the show — Aarambhi, Vishwas, and Avantika — are not simply right or wrong but are emotionally entangled at difficult crossroads in life.

Anjuum strongly emphasizes that Avantika is not a typical villain or vamp but a grey character who becomes labeled negative simply because she stands up for herself, questions injustice, and demands her rights. She feels many women in society will relate not just to Aarambhi’s journey but also to Avantika’s emotional struggles.

Talking about the theme of infidelity, Anjuum makes it clear that personally she is completely against it. She says she would never get involved with a married man as she respects women and would never want to hurt another woman. For her, infidelity is a deal-breaker. However, she explains that Avantika has been in love with Vishwas for nearly a decade, and sometimes when people are deeply emotionally involved, it becomes extremely difficult to walk away, making the situation far more complicated.

Anjuum also speaks about the powerful message of the show — that in the end, a woman’s career becomes her biggest strength and savior. Sharing her personal journey, she reveals that she left home at just 20 years old without taking a single penny from her parents and built her life entirely through hard work. She proudly says everything she has today is a result of her own dedication and effort.

Reflecting on her past reality show experience Chhoriyan Chali Gaon, Anjuum talks about reuniting with Aishwarya. She admits she was very harsh during the show due to the competitive environment but later realized her mistakes and sent Aishwarya a heartfelt apology message. Aishwarya immediately responded with love and forgiveness, and today they share a warm bond on set, supporting each other in scenes and off screen.

Concluding the interview, Anjuum expresses her excitement about portraying such a lively yet complex character for the first time. She assures viewers that Dr. Aarambhi is not just Aarambhi’s story but a powerful narrative of every character involved — Vishwas, Avantika, and others — whose relationships and dynamics will keep evolving. She confidently says that once audiences watch the first few episodes, they will be completely hooked by the emotional drama and gripping storytelling.
