Not like usual set goodbye where everyone smiles for camera,but something which clearly hit Rishita Kothari badly.
On Mahhi Vij's YouTube channel,Rishita was seen breaking down in tears because it was Mahhi’s final day of filming . That moment when someone suddenly realizes journey is ending… it can be heavy ah,especially when bond is not just professional anymore .
Mahhi also spoke about their connection and said,“From the very first day,I felt like I had become a mother to Rishita,” . And that one line explains why their scenes probably felt so natural to viewers.
In Seher Hone Ko Hai,Mahhi played Kausar,a strong mother fighting through challenges for her daughter,played by Rishita . But from what Mahhi said,it seems that mother-daughter feeling was not limited to script only .
Few things standing out from this farewell:
- Rishita Kothari struggled to hold back tears on Mahhi Vij’s final day .
- Mahhi described their bond by saying,“From the very first day, I felt like I had become mother to Rishita,”
- Mahhi has nearly two decades in television,with shows like Laagi Tujhse Lagan and Balika Vadhu behind her.
And tbh,television sets can create strange kind of family feeling . Long shooting hours,repeated emotional scenes,daily routine with same people… after some time,lines between reel bond and real bond start becoming blurry .
Rishita,while crying,said,“I genuinely have no words to describe it. I just want all the happiness for her.” That sounds simple,but it also shows how attached she had become to Mahhi during filming .
Mahhi has been around in industry for nearly two decades,and many people know her from Laagi Tujhse Lagan and Balika Vadhu . So for her,this may be another big role ending,but for Rishita,it clearly looked like losing daily support system on set.
And that is what makes this whole goodbye feel sad . Show will continue,people will move ahead,cameras will roll again… but for actors who actually lived those emotions together,how easy is it to just switch off and walk away…
