Gujarati's latest offering, ‘United State of Gujarat’ is an emotional family drama that blends tradition and modernity seamlessly. The show follows the journey of Yamuna (Ami Trivedi), a woman estranged from her family due to her marriage, and her daughter Kay (Sana Amin Sheikh), who returns to India to reunite the family. Amidst this narrative, veteran actress Nimisha Vakhariya steps in as Jasumati, Keshav’s (Raj Anadkat) stepmother, in a pivotal negative role.
Sana Amin Sheikh who has always been appreciated for her choice of challenging and quirky roles, is suddenly in a territory less traversed with Gujarati's United State of Gujarat. This is her first time portraying a Gujarati character in the show. What makes this role all the more special is that Sana did workshops to learn the Gujarati language.
Although she can read Gujarati very well. Speaking of experience Sana says “I always want to play different characters, and it's very important for me that people see me in different characters. This is the first time I'm playing a Gujarati character, and I wanted to do full justice to it by learning the language properly. While I’m not Gujarati myself, I do have deep Gujarati roots. My great-grandfather, Master Ashraf Khan, was a significant figure in Gujarati theatre. For an actor, it's a privilege to explore shows/plays or movies. Recently I was surprised when a Gujarati family came up to me to say how much they enjoy watching the United State of Gujarat. The love and support received from Gujarat has been amazing, and I was looking forward to connecting with the audience through this role."
