Playing a mother who works in a red light area in her latest project ‘Ratri Ke Yatri’, Barkha shares, “This was one of the most challenging roles that I have played so far. My episode titled ‘Rupantaran’ will take you through a journey that will make you realise that a mother-child relationship is the purest form of love. And, nothing surpasses that bond. Being a mother helped me build layers to the character that I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.”
