Yeh Meri Family: Hetal Gada picked one song to describe her character Ritika Awasti

Young actress Hetal Gada, who has worked in films like Nagesh Kukunoor's Dhanak and Chidiya as a child artist, plays a teenager in the web series Yeh Meri Family: Season 2, which is set in the 1990s.

Talking about the relatability of her character in the show, Hetal said, "Ritika is a teenager who has some wonderful experiences. She has several questions and has some expectations from her friends and family. Since she is a teenager, she is at an age where she experiences several new emotions that she is not aware of. And then she doesn't know how to deal with them. So, everybody can relate to her because, while playing Ritika’s character, main usse bahut zyada relate kar paayi. Because at that age, all of us go through several things emotionally."  

"All teenagers feel that the smallest of problems are really big issues and consider them to be life’s biggest problems. Bahut pyaara phase hota hai woh," she added.

If she could describe the mind space of her character with one song, which one would it be? Hetal said, "Panchi banu udti phiroon mast gagan me. Ritika embodies the spirit of that song."

Yeh Meri Family, directed by Mandar Kurundkar, also stars Anngad Maaholay and Veena Mehta.

It is available to stream on Amazon miniTV.
