Saarvie Omana, known for her portrayal of Meera in the popular television series Pyar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan, produced by Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah’s Studio LSD, opens up about the crucial role of friendship in her life, celebrating Friendship Day with heartfelt insights.
Saarvie emphasizes the vital importance of friendship, both in her personal life and professional realm. As an introvert with a tight-knit circle of friends, she values the ability to share everything without hesitation. “Everybody needs someone with whom they can talk about anything without thinking twice. For me, friendship is really important. As I’m an introvert and have a very small friend circle, I can say I have a beautiful and pure one. Friendship is the key to every relationship,” she says.
When asked about her best friend, Saarvie finds it hard to single out one person, considering all her close friends equally important. “They understand me and never judge me for anything, no matter what. Whether I’m emotional, sad, angry, or cranky sometimes, they are just there for me every time and listen to me patiently. Without them, I’m incomplete,” she shares. Navigating the busy and competitive world of television, Saarvie’s friends remain understanding and supportive. “They understand my schedule and never get angry with me if I’m not able to talk to them or if I forget to wish them on their special days. They respect my work and schedule,” she explains.
While Saarvie has formed close bonds in her previous show Rabb Se Hai Dua, her current experience in Pyar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan is different. “From my last show, yes, I do have a few close friends. But in my current show, I haven’t found that vibe from anyone yet. Till now, it’s only a co-actor relationship on the set,” she admits, adding that her introverted nature and belief in vibes sometimes lead to misinterpretations of her demeanor. Saarvie sees similarities between her real-life friendships and those of her character, Meera. “Yes, I’m like Meera. A helping hand will always be there from my side. No matter the time and place, if my friends need me, I make sure that I’ll be there for them,” she affirms.
Reflecting on how friendships have shaped her, Saarvie acknowledges their impact on her personal growth. “Friends have helped and contributed to my personal life, and they still do. But in professional life, there is no contribution from them, as I don’t see them as stepping stones. For me, profession and friendship are different. I can’t make friends for my profession’s benefit,” she concludes.
