“I am Proud to be a part of the show that highlights issues people face every day” – Adrija Roy
Mumbai: Actress Adrija Roy, who is currently seen in Deepa Shahi and Rajan Shahi’s popular show Anupamaa, shares her thoughts on the ongoing male domestic violence track. She says she feels proud to be part of a show that is not afraid to bring sensitive and rarely discussed topics to the forefront. According to her, television has the power to start meaningful conversations, especially when a widely watched show highlights real social issues.
“People are used to hearing about women facing domestic violence, and that is a very serious and real issue. But the truth is that men also go through emotional and physical abuse, and most of the time they stay silent because they feel ashamed or scared of being judged,” she says. “I think it is very important that we start acknowledging this side of the story as well.”
Adrija adds that what she appreciates the most about the makers of the show is their sensitivity towards social topics. She says they never introduce such tracks just for drama, but always try to send out a meaningful message. “The makers of Anupamaa are very mindful about the stories they tell. Every track has some connection to real life, something that people are actually going through in their homes or relationships,” she adds.
She further says that shows like this give strength to those who are suffering silently. “When viewers see such stories on screen, they realise they are not alone. It gives them courage to speak up or seek help. That is the real power of storytelling,” she says.
Adrija also believes that it is the responsibility of actors and creators to use their platform wisely. “If we can bring even a small change in someone’s life or make them feel heard, then our work becomes meaningful. I am proud that our show keeps highlighting social issues that happen every day but are rarely discussed openly,” she adds.
