Garvita Sadhwani, who is currently winning hearts as Ruhi in Rajan Shahi‘s popular show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, credits her mother for playing a crucial role in her journey. The actress, known for bringing depth, emotion, and strength to her character, considers her mother her biggest inspiration in real life. In an exclusive conversation, the actress spoke about portraying the role of Ruhi and what makes it so special.
Speaking about portraying Ruhi with power and conviction, Garvita says, “Ruhi is a very powerful character, and that’s what drew me to her. She runs high on emotions and has very strong beliefs. There were times recently when she stood up to Dadisa and Fufasa and fought with elders for her brother and sister, Abhir and Abhira. I think that’s incredibly powerful. Ruhi may not always take a stand for herself, but when it comes to the people she loves, she’s fearless. “In situations of adversity, she shows another level of strength. And now, as a mother, her strength has only grown. She cares deeply for the people she loves and will stand up for them no matter what. That’s her biggest strength.”
The actress opened up about how she looks up to her mother and calls her extraordinary, ““The woman I really look up to is my mom,” Garvita shares with heartfelt admiration. “I’ve always looked up to her, and I will always look up to her because I don’t think I’ve seen a woman like her, honestly. The strength she has, the willpower, the amount of hard work she puts in every day, it’s extraordinary.”
Garvita’s mother has been a homemaker all her life, but for Garvita, her work is nothing short of heroic. “They say they are housewives and all that, but I really think the work housewives do, taking care of the house, taking care of the people, is a very different kind of strength. My mother sometimes jokes and says, ‘My job is the most important. I’m taking care of four people; I’m feeding them. I’m taking care of four people’s lives.’ And she’s right, she has the most power.”
It’s this unwavering strength and dedication that has shaped Garvita’s own values and beliefs. “When there’s any problem, I think about my mom and what she has taught me. Any values, morals, strengths, or ideologies I have are all because of her. She is the strongest and most amazing person I know, my true strength. My mother has made me into the person that I am today. Everything that I am is all thanks to her.”
