Mahhi, who plays her on‑screen mother, has not only shaped Rishita’s debut experience but also left a lasting impact on her both personally and professionally.
From the very first day on set, Rishita recalls feeling an instant sense of comfort and belonging, thanks to Mahhi’s warmth. “From day one, she treated me with so much love and kindness. She made me feel safe and confident, just like a real mother would. Whenever I was nervous about a scene, she would guide me calmly and motivate me. That bond automatically reflected on screen, and I feel very lucky to have Mahhi as my on‑screen mother,” Rishita shared with heartfelt gratitude.
An Emotional and Enriching Journey
For Rishita, acting alongside Mahhi never felt like acting at all.

Off‑Screen Bonding That Feels Like Family
Beyond the cameras, Rishita revealed that Mahhi is a powerhouse of positivity and joy. She often shares fun anecdotes, personal stories, and even life lessons in between shots, creating a lively and relaxed atmosphere on set. “She is extremely supportive and fun to be around. Between shots, we laugh, talk about life, and sometimes she even gives me advice that I truly value. Our bond has grown naturally, and I feel it is very special. Working with her has been a beautiful learning experience that I will always cherish,” Rishita added.
Protective Mentor During Rishita’s Debut
Speaking about her debut, Rishita fondly remembered how Mahhi became protective of her right from the beginning. “It was my first day and my debut, and she was very protective of me. She has such a calm energy on set, and she made sure I was comfortable at every step, just like a mother does when her child steps into a big new world. We have a lot of fun together, but we also learn from each other, and that makes our bond even more special,” she concluded.
A Bond That Goes Beyond Acting
The camaraderie between Rishita Kothari and Mahhi Vij is more than just an on‑screen relationship—it’s a genuine connection that has blossomed into mentorship, friendship, and family‑like affection.
