Madalsa Sharma , who won many hearts with her time on Anupamaa with her character Kavya, recently opened up about her personal as well as professional life. In a podcast with Hauterrfly, she shared how her father-in-law, Mithun Chakraborty , has constantly supported her in everything:


The actress opened up about her bond with Mithun Chakraborty and how he has always supported her. She said, “He was the first person to tell me, ‘Mithhi’, whenever a TV opportunity comes, you must go ahead because television has a very vast audience. After Anupamaa, the kind of fame and recognition I got, I didn’t get that even after doing 20–22 films. He doesn’t believe in these stereotypes—that a woman should dress a certain way, walk a certain way, marry by a certain age, have kids by a certain age, or change after marriage. Not at all. He’s exactly the opposite.”


She also recalled that her first interaction with husband Mimoh happened much before their relationship even began, and interestingly, it was through his mother. “I was entering the venue while Mimoh was stepping out. This was many, many years ago—almost like a different phase of life,” she shared. That brief encounter led to a casual introduction, just a simple exchange of greetings. Almost after a decade, they got in touch again and later connected on a deeper level. “He got in touch again, which was really sweet. I truly feel blessed that it happened. We didn’t date at all. It was more like, we are going to get married,” she said candidly. Looking back, she feels nothing but gratitude. “Today, I just thank my lucky stars. It’s truly the best thing that could have happened to me.”


Talking about her journey with Anupamaa, she revealed that the opportunity came through a prior association with producer Rajan Shahi. “He already knew me, and my mother had also worked with him. The moment the first episode of Anupamaa aired, it just took off—and how! It’s still number one. It takes a little time at first, but then you’re seeing the same faces every single day for years. It becomes like a second home,” she said, adding that she was part of the show for four years.


She emphasized that her role of Kavya wasn’t simply ‘negative’ but rather layered and realistic. “It wasn’t negative, it was grey. And that’s what made it exciting. It wasn’t the typical stereotypical portrayal you see on television. It felt like a trendsetter in its own way,” she said. “I felt like I was getting a chance to play something real, something different.”
