Alpana Buch Says Script Is Like a Moving Train, Not a Fixed Track

Alpana Buch explained that daily soaps leave little room for extensive rehearsals, so she immerses herself in the moment. “The script is a moving train; you cannot halt it to rewrite a scene,” she said. When Leela’s anger appears without clear justification, Alpana asks for minor adjustments, such as a change in facial expression, which in Hindi can be conveyed through a simple Gujarati flair.

She emphasized that Leela’s volatile behavior is rooted in fear of losing her place in the family, a nuance she brings out without changing the dialogue, making the scene feel fresh each time.
