i am exactly like Jeevika, says Krystle

The eldest child of family often turns out to be the most responsible and Jeevika is no different. Adored and loved by her little sister Maanvi, Jeevika has been a parent to her in every possible way.

Jeevika is far more mature than her age. Her goal in life is to ensure Maanvi's happiness and well- being at all costs.

Ask Jeevika about her brat younger sister Maanvi and she jumps to her defense immediately. "Maanvi might be a baby of the house but she isn't spoilt. Yes, she needs to be guided at times but she has the same values as I have, given by our parents. I know deep down that Maanvi is sorted and knows right from wrong. She is pampered at home, so she gets away with a lot. I would sacrifice anything for her sake."

Jeevika lives for others and is happy to put the happiness of her sister, her beeji and other family members before her own. She is silent from the outside but strong from the inside. Krystle D'souza is enjoying playing the role of Jeevika. She says, "I am exactly like her in real life. I am a quiet person and bit reserved too. While Neha who plays Maanvi is like her character – totally mischievous and talks nineteen to ninety. I couldn't have been happier getting this role as I love the concept and the realistic treatment makes the show more endearing to me."

Talking about the shooting experience, she adds, "Rishikesh was simply beautiful as we would wake up to fog filled mornings. It wasn't hot even while shooting in the afternoon sun. It was magical."
