Reminiscing about her childhood, Sneha reveals, “As an actor, I’m happy to walk on the road less traveled and be part of stories that are told with sensitivity and the intention to make an impact.”

“One of the highlights of working on this show is the chance to witness the brilliance of my reel daughter Neerja essayed by Myra. I got to live my childhood again through Myra. She has the same innocence, curiosity, and drive to learn new things. I felt waves of nostalgia with every scene that I shot with her and every time she made me smile with her spot-on observation,” she said.

Sneha revealed that her childhood was a series of unforgettable adventures.

“I was like Myra – ready to live the moment to the fullest. This experience took me back to my days in school and showed me how my childhood experiences have shaped my life as an adult. I am very proud of this girl, and I have no doubt that she will shine wherever she goes. It would mean the world to me to have a daughter like Neerja in real life,” she added.
