Actress Urvashi Upadhyay, who essays the role of Kusum Saxena in the television show ‘Mangal Lakshmi’, has shared that the show offers a fresh perspective on the relationships and dynamics between family members.
In the show, her character of Kusum Saxena stands out as a pillar of strength and support and brings to life the relationship between Mangal and her.
Talking about her role in ‘Mangal Lakshmi’ Urvashi Upadhyay said: “I was drawn to the script because it offered a fresh perspective on familial relationships. As an artist, it is very fulfilling to be part of a show that defies conventions by putting an entirely new spin on family drama. Many women have husbands like Adit, but only a small percentage have a mother-in-law like Kusum.”
She added: “So I’m grateful for all the love that I have received for portraying the role of a supportive mother-in-law for the first time. I’ve observed that mothers-in-law are usually shown as nosy and vicious. I view my role as an opportunity to highlight their often ignored good qualities. I aspire to bring the change in the society through my character. That’s what makes this show centred around women, who have different strengths so special.”
‘Mangal Lakshmi’ airs on Colors.
