Main Vaapas Aaunga actor Anjana Sukhani has opened up about her character Meher, drawing parallels with Kareena Kapoor’s iconic Geet from Jab We Met. Speaking about the similarities, the actor explained how both characters share an unfiltered personality and innocence that defines their charm on screen.

Sukhani, who played Meher – Naseeruddin Shah’s daughter-in-law in the film – said audiences have begun noticing the resemblance between the two characters over time.

She told NDTV, “The parallels that I was drawing, that actually now people are like, ‘Yeah, that’s true, that her character is very much like Geet in Jab We Met.’ Very unfiltered person. She doesn’t know what she’s saying. There’s no malice in her heart, she’s saying wrong things at the wrong place, but with no evil in her heart. So I guess it’s basically the innocence of Meher that reflects beautifully on screen. And all my friends and family have loved it.”

Elaborating further on Meher’s personality, she added, “She has no filter at all. She’s funny, so even when you see the lines that she says with such a straight face, she doesn’t mean anything negative while she’s saying it. She’s just saying it because it’s coming to her mind.”

Anjana added, “Okay, I need to say this now. And I said this earlier also, that his (Imtiaz Ali’s) women are very mature, but they also have a very beautiful childlike quality in them. So, quality-wise, whether it was Geet then or whether it is Jia’s character (Sharvari), she also has this maturity and yet a childlike quality in her, and so does Meher. Her character is also like that. Even though, yes, of course, there’s an age gap between the characters, their women always show that sweet, childish side of them in the film. I think that’s beautiful.”
