Playing Vaijayanti

Talking about her role and character, Hemangi said, "I am playing Durga's mother Vaijayanti. She isn't like any other mom. Vaijayanti is Durga's backbone and she is ready to fight for the latter. She protects Durga when someone tries to demean her. The writers of the show have really worked hard to portray such a mother on-screen. Vaiju is strong and courageous. Nothing can stop her. Only Vaiju and her family know that who is Durga. Vaijayanti is scared of how people might react if they learn about Durga's secret. She never allows her daughter to even go outside. I think there is a challenge to play such a role."

Bonding with Durga

Hemangi said that she is really close to her on-screen daughters and said, "I have two daughters in the show. Our bonding is really good. The local artists also were asking us that is it your real daughter? and that was a great compliment we ever received. I actually learn a lot from them."

Unique concept

Talking about being a part of such a unique project, Hemangi said, "I feel the way we have shot the sequences was more like a film. We have not compromised anything. The topic and concept of the show are totally unique and serious. The concept is a really tough subject. I think, with this, Lek Mazi Durga people will seriously think about such topics and there will surely see the change soon in the society."
