Actress Tanisha Mehta has opened up about her faith, her prayers for her family and the personal clarity she seeks as she continues to navigate her growing career in television.
Known for playing Vrinda in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2, Tanisha has built a strong presence on Indian television. She is currently seen in the spin-off Kyunki Rishton Ke Bhi Roop Badalte Hain, where she shares the screen with Rohit Suchanti. Her performance and on-screen chemistry with Rohit have also drawn appreciation from viewers.
With Ganesh Chaturthi bringing Mumbai into a festive mood, Tanisha reflected on what the occasion means to her and revealed the prayers she offered to Lord Ganesha this year.
Tanisha Mehta’s Biggest Prayer Is for Family and Health
For Tanisha, her Ganesh Chaturthi prayers were not centered on material success. Her primary wish was for the well-being and happiness of the people closest to her.
“My biggest prayer to Bappa this year was very simple — peace, happiness and good health for my family,” Tanisha shared.
She said that she prayed for her parents, loved ones and family members to remain safe, healthy and happy. Along with their well-being, she also sought the strength to make the right decisions in her own life.
The actress explained that personal choices can sometimes become difficult, particularly when someone is at a stage where several possible paths lie ahead.
‘I Prayed to Bappa to Guide Me’
Tanisha admitted that life can feel confusing at times, especially when important decisions have to be made about the future.
“Life gets confusing at times, you know. You are at a stage where you have to choose your path, and you just want to make sure you are doing the right thing,” she said.
Her prayer, therefore, was not simply for a particular outcome. Instead, she asked for clarity, guidance and the ability to remain grounded while making those choices.
“So I prayed to Bappa to guide me, to give me clarity and to keep me grounded,” the actress added.
Tanisha Mehta Wants Growth as an Actor and as a Person
Professionally, Tanisha is also looking ahead with ambition. Having worked steadily across television and other entertainment projects, she said she wants to continue growing rather than becoming complacent.
“On the professional front, I also prayed for growth. I have worked very hard to be where I am today, and I just want to keep growing as an actor and as a person,” she said.
She also asked for the courage to continue pursuing the life and career she wants, particularly during periods when the journey becomes challenging.
Her comments highlight a more personal side of the actress beyond her television roles, showing how she connects professional aspirations with faith and perseverance.
Some Wishes, Tanisha Says, Are Better Kept Between Her and Bappa
While Tanisha was open about praying for her family, personal clarity and career growth, she revealed that some of her wishes remain private.
The actress said she had made a few personal wishes that she prefers to keep between herself and Bappa. For her, keeping certain prayers private makes them feel more meaningful.
“I feel some wishes are more special when you don’t say them out loud, when you just quietly leave them in His hands and trust Him,” she explained.
Tanisha also expressed her belief that what is meant for her will eventually reach her at the right moment.
“I truly believe that whatever is meant for me will find its way to me at the right time. Bappa has always listened, and I have full faith in him,” she said.
Tanisha Mehta’s Journey Across Television and Films
Tanisha Mehta spent part of her childhood in New Zealand and Australia before pursuing a career in Indian entertainment. Over the years, she has appeared in television projects including Ikk Kudi Punjab Di, Shubh Laabh – Aapkey Ghar Mein and Lag Ja Gale.
Her film credits include an appearance in Bhakshak. She has also featured in independent music projects, including “Ab Teri Baari” by Ayushmann Khurrana and Naezy and “Jhanjer” by Dalbir Rana.
Her role as Vrinda in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Season 2 brought her wider recognition, with the actress sharing screen space with veteran actress and politician Smriti Irani. She continues to headline its spin-off, Kyunki Rishton Ke Bhi Roop Badalte Hain, alongside Rohit Suchanti.
Faith Remains a Source of Strength for Tanisha
For Tanisha Mehta, Ganesh Chaturthi appears to be as much about personal reflection as celebration. Her prayers this year focused on family, health, professional growth and the wisdom to make the right choices.
Rather than asking for every outcome to go according to plan, the actress says she prefers to place some wishes in Bappa’s hands and trust the timing of what comes next.
