Sometimes, life takes us on unexpected journeys, leading us to destinations we never imagined. This is exactly what happened with Eshaa Pathak, who plays the lead role of Gauri in Sun Neo’s show Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri. Acting was never in her plans, but destiny had something special in store for her.
Recalling her journey, Eshaa shares, “My journey into acting was never planned it happened purely by chance. As a child, I was deeply passionate about singing and dancing, performing on stage with confidence. However, once my performance ended, I would retreat into silence, struggling to express myself beyond my art. My mother always wished for me to be more outspoken and confident, encouraging me to introduce myself and engage with others, but I found it difficult.”
Eshaa explains how her mother wanted her to be more confident and what she did to help her, “One day, while we were in Indore, my mother came across an acting class where young students were performing brilliantly. Hoping it would help me become more confident for my singing, she enrolled me not with the intention of making me an actor, but simply to help me open up. Surprisingly, I adapted to acting quickly, and my teachers were so impressed with my progress that they suggested I try out for auditions in Mumbai. At that time, my focus was still on singing, and I had joined Suresh Wadkar Ji’s music classes. I never planned to be an actor.”
The Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri actress further added, “Fate, however, had different ideas. A fellow student’s mother encouraged me to audition, and though I was hesitant, she took me along. To my surprise, within a week, I received a call for a parallel lead role. Stepping into this world, I discovered the magic of acting the depth, the emotions, and the endless possibilities. What started as an attempt to become more confident became my true calling. And ever since, I have continued on this journey, doing what I love with all my heart.”
