Mumbai: Television actress Juhi Parmar says motherhood has changed the actress in her.
The actress is back on the small screen with a new period drama on Colors channel named "Karamphal Data Shani" -- in which she is playing the mother of Shani.
"In my upcoming show 'Karamphal Data Shani' when I am playing mother, all my emotions are more real than ever, because I am a mother in real life. Earlier, as an artiste I had to imagine the pain or affection or worry of a mother while acting. Now, that I am a mother, I know exactly how it feels when your baby is in trouble or to what extent a mother can go to protect her baby. I am well versed with that emotion," Juhi said.
The actress, who rose to fame from "KumKum", added: "Dealing with a baby girl in real life made me more patient and compassionate towards people. Nowadays, if a situation is going a bit out of control, I am always in control. I have grown emotionally and that reflects on my acting."
Juhi, who is married to Sachin Shroff, is playing a double role -- Sandhya and Chaya -- in the show.
Ever since Juhi stepped in to the entertainment industry, she rose to success with each step -- be it her famous TV show or winning "Big Boss 5".
The actress says she is blessed.
"I am thankful to God who has given me so much. I couldn't have asked for more for my comeback," she said.
