What was your reaction to Jamai 2.0 getting a season 2?

She admitted that she was very excited when she first heard about it. She was excited for the storyline to come to a proper conclusion after everything that had transpired.

Which was the most challenging scene to shoot in the second season?

She said that she is usually nervous and jittery for the first two days of shoot and so the first scene of the show, which was the dining table scene with Nia was the most difficult for her because she was not feeling aligned.

Three reasons why one should watch Jamai 2.0 season 2?

She said that it’s a mix of everything. It has drama, action, thriller, passion, romance, revenge. This time around, she added, there are new and more interesting characters and the stories have become more complex and intricate. There is way more drama happening and one must not miss out!

When it comes to being a mother, how is your character very different from real life?

Achint said that unlike her reel self who is confident about being a good mother, in real life she is not as confident about it. She admits being a person who can goof up sometimes so she always asks her son to point it out in case she makes a mistake!

If Nia was your real daughter, would you allow her to choose love over family?

She said that she would allow her to choose what she wanted to because everybody has a different path.

You’ve done theatre, you’ve done TV and you’ve done web. Which do you like the most?
