ValentinesDay – Manasi Joshi Roy Shares Her Honest View on Love
ValentinesDay – Actor Manasi Joshi Roy, known for portraying Lakshmi in the television drama ‘Lakshmi Niwas,’ has spoken candidly about her perspective on Valentine’s Day, describing it as something she views differently from many others.
A Different Take on Valentine’s Day
In a recent conversation, Manasi revealed that her feelings about Valentine’s Day have evolved over the years. She admitted that while she once embraced the excitement surrounding the occasion in her younger days, her outlook has since shifted.
According to her, she sees Valentine’s Day largely as a commercial celebration. Rather than focusing on a single day dedicated to grand gestures, she believes meaningful relationships are built on everyday actions. For Manasi, love is best expressed consistently, through small but sincere moments shared daily.
She emphasized that genuine affection does not require a specific date on the calendar. What matters more, she said, is a steady presence and emotional support throughout the year.
Rohit Roy: The Romantic Partner
While Manasi may take a measured view of the occasion, she openly acknowledged that her husband, actor Rohit Roy, approaches romance differently. She described him as the more expressive partner in their relationship.
Over the years, Rohit has surprised her with thoughtful and elaborate gestures. Manasi said she appreciates those efforts, even though she personally believes in celebrating love beyond special occasions. In her words, love should be recognized in everyday moments rather than confined to symbolic days.
The couple, who have long been regarded as one of television’s steady partnerships, appear to balance their contrasting styles with ease. Their relationship, as Manasi described it, thrives on mutual respect and shared understanding.
Bringing Lakshmi to Life on Screen
Beyond her reflections on personal life, Manasi also spoke about her role in ‘Lakshmi Niwas’, a show centered on the quiet resilience of middle-class families. The series portrays the everyday struggles, responsibilities, and emotional bonds that shape domestic life.
Manasi shared that stepping into Lakshmi’s character felt deeply personal. The emotional layers of a mother who silently shoulders worries and consistently prioritizes her family resonated strongly with her. She noted that many of Lakshmi’s emotions—protectiveness, silent concern, and enduring hope—came naturally during filming.
The character’s strength, she explained, lies not in dramatic confrontations but in quiet endurance. Lakshmi absorbs challenges without complaint and remains a steady pillar for her family. This understated resilience, Manasi believes, is what makes the role relatable to viewers.
A Story Rooted in Everyday Realities
‘Lakshmi Niwas’, produced by Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, presents a grounded narrative about aspirations and sacrifice within ordinary households. The show highlights how individuals often set aside personal ambitions to fulfill family duties, a theme that resonates with many audiences.
Manasi’s portrayal has been noted for its authenticity. Rather than portraying Lakshmi as a larger-than-life figure, she brings a sense of lived experience to the character, making her feel familiar to viewers across different households.
The series airs on Zee TV and continues to explore themes of responsibility, emotional strength, and familial bonds.
As Manasi balances her work on screen with reflections from her own life, her comments on love offer a glimpse into the values she holds close—consistency, sincerity, and shared everyday moments over grand declarations.
