Mohak Matkar, set to play the lead in the TV show Saru, says, 'I jumped in the water for a shot while I didn't know how to swim'

After making her presence felt in Humara Pariwar as a primary character, the actress is now all set to play the lead role in her upcoming television show Saru. Sharing her excitement, she says, “Bagging a lead role in a TV show feels surreal.”

The actress recently wrapped up the first schedule of her shoot in Udaipur and spoke about the experience of stepping into a completely new environment. “I was shooting in Udaipur, Rajasthan, for the first schedule of the show, and it was a good experience. I had never seen a village, as I am from Mumbai, and my entire family is here. I met locals there and it was such a nice feeling,” she shares.

Talking about immersing herself in the character and the culture, she adds, “I even milked the cow once, and it was such a fun experience. I learnt their accent. The shoot was hectic and fun at the same time. I even jumped in the water for a shot in the show while I didn't know how to swim. So I got to learn a lot and experience new things.”

The actress is essaying the role of Saru, sharing more about her role, she says, “I am playing the role of Saru, who hails from Rajasthan. She studied till grade 12 in her village, and now, for her further studies, she wants to move to Mumbai. She wants to improve the condition of her village with the help of her education. However, Saru's mom doesn't want her to move to a city, and the story becomes interesting further.”
