Today, she has bagged a lead role in Shreyas Talpade’s debut TV serial ‘Tumcha Aamcha same Asata’ on Star Pravah.
This being Shreyas’ home production, there is lot of marketing done, for its promotion. At every prominent spot in Mumbai city, you find the huge posters of this serial displayed.

Amruta has been active with acting field, since her college days, and has also bagged a silver medal for best actress, in a prestigious inter collegiate drama competition. When Amruta first came to Mumbai to give audition, she couldn’t find suitable roles. So, she worked as intern for two months with TV 9 channel. So, we have another actress, after Prarthana Behere, who has worked a s a TV Journalist.
When we spoke to Amruta, we did ask her, as to why she took up a job in TV channel as a Journalist, when she came to Mumbai to become an actress. And, Amruta was frank enough to admit that she gave auditions for some film productions, but wasn’t getting selected. “I actually wanted to play a village girl, as Marathi films these days are rural based . But, couldn’t get through the auditions. At that point, I thought that I was not meant for such roles. So, I decided to take up job in Media house, as I had already done my course in Journalism. It was a question of my survival, in this city of dreams,” she explained.
Amruta first found a role in the serial ‘Pudhcha Paul’ and later in detective serial ‘Asmita’. These were not prominent roles; but, were enough to make her presence felt. But, Amruta was very positive, that one day, she would get a lead role. Perhaps, the popularity of the serial ‘Asmita’ proved to be lucky for Amruta, though she played a slightly negative role.
Now that she is playing the lead role of Gauri, in the serial ‘Tumcha Aamcha Same Asata’, Amruta is very delighted. She is playing a Psychologist in this serial. Incidentally, Amruta has done her graduation with specialization in this subject. “Yes, I am happy and also glad that the serial is being promoted in a big way, so as to reach maximum people. This role of Gauri, is a dream come true for me. But, at the same time, there is a lot of responsibility on me. I have to deliver my best, to fulfill the expectations of the home viewers,” She concluded.
