She is not the girl, wrong casting, and more. And after reading such comments used to cry and say I don't want to do this. People are not accepting me as Mayura. Then how is the show going to work? I had so many things in my mind. But thanks to all my co-actors who supported me and kept me motivated. Also, the faith of my producer in me kept me going. One of my co-stars told me that I am beautiful and I have to keep saying such stuff to myself."
"The table didn't turn overnight. With each passing day, people started accepting me in my character. Just the way it happens in real life. I started living with Mayura like a strong-headed girl. And that's what got me acceptance amongst the audiences. Now, the same people who used to criticize me and send hate comments, appreciate my work and me as Mayura," concluded Riya.
