OTTplay Exclusive: Apara Mehta reveals she's a part of an English web series in a comic role

Apara Mehta was recently seen in Shemaroo Me’s Gujarati web series Kshadyantra. The actress played the role of a Chief Minister in what was her first project in Gujarati. However, Kshadyantra did not mark her debut in web series.

Talking to OTTplay exclusively, the actress revealed that she is a part of an English web series. More so, she will be seen in a comic role, as opposed to all the dramatic roles the actress has been seen in so far.

“I’m part of an English web series which is a nice, surprise comedy. People are going to be surprised as far as I’m concerned,” she said.

Apara also revealed her daughter (Kushali Mehta)’s reaction when she broke the news to her. The actress said, “When I told my daughter about the project, she said mumma do you even realize how huge this is! I would be like ‘Really?’ But yeah, I am part of something interesting.”

Apara believes her potential in comedy was untapped at one point of time. The actress revealed that she had told people since Kyunki days that she was really good at comedy but nobody believed her since she was so good at playing a mother-in-law.

“I used to tell people since Kyunki days that I’m the best at comedy but nobody believed me. I have managed to surprise people and at the same time, done run-of-the-mill shows too,” the actress shared.

Apara, who has completed over 25 years in the Television industry, has also worked on TV shows like Jamai Raja, Sajan Re Jhooth Mat Bolo and Kya Huaa Tera Vaada among others.
