For actress Eshaa Pathak, who plays the lead role of Gauri in Sun Neo’s Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, the monsoon isn’t just a season—it’s an emotional experience. “The first drop of rain doesn’t just fall,” she says. “It whispers stories, triggers memories, and brings joy that sunshine can’t match.”
A Season Close to Her Heart
“Monsoon is honestly my favourite season,” Eshaa reveals. “Everything looks so fresh and green. I love how the plants bloom during this time. And that smell of wet mitti after the first rain—nothing beats it. It lifts my mood instantly. Rainy days for me are incomplete without hot chai, bhajiyas, and roasted bhutta. That’s a must!”
Childhood Nostalgia on the Terrace
Reflecting on her childhood, she shares, “Every time it rained, I’d run up to the terrace, blast my favourite songs, and dance like no one was watching. It brought me so much happiness. Those moments are etched in my memory.”
The Bollywood Dream: Tip Tip Fantasy
Even as she embraces her role as Gauri, Eshaa still holds onto a monsoon dream. “I’ve always wanted to do a rain dance scene like Tip Tip Barsa Pani. The vibe, the music, the rain—it’s bold, it’s iconic, and it plays in my head every time it rains. If I ever get the chance to shoot something like that, I’m all in. Saree, rain, dance—I’m ready!”
Balancing Work & Weather
Monsoon mornings can be lazy, but Eshaa’s passion drives her. “It’s so cozy and chilly, you just want to stay in bed a little longer,” she laughs. “But I genuinely love what I do, so I head to the set with a smile. The vibe on the Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri set is amazing—I actually feel FOMO if I’m not there!”
