Pooja Banerjeee aka Rhea Mehra from Zee TV’s hit show Kumkum Bhagya speaks to mid-day. com about joining in as a new cast member on the show that has been running since 2014, her onscreen image, Diwali preparations and more.

How do you spend your days when you aren’t shooting for Kumkum Bhagya?
Today is my no makeup day. I have my laundry days and I make lists of what groceries to buy, besides tending to my plants. That’s something I enjoy doing. So my day-offs are very normal. I also love cooking and cleaning. I was in Bangalore till yesterday and reached Mumbai only at 1am. I still woke up early and did my meditation. I made my grocery list in the flight itself and now I’m preparing for Diwali by making four different types of laddoos, over the next four days - Balushahi, Kachagolla, Nariyal ladoo and Besan ladoo. I’m excited for Diwali this year.
