EXCLUSIVE: Children’s Day Special! Adrija Roy Gets Nostalgic; Shares, “When You Grow Up, You Realise The Beautiful Kind Of Happiness Called Childhood”

Childhood is made up of little moments that become some of our fondest memories as we grow older. From school celebrations on Children’s Day to lazy afternoons spent with friends, these memories often stay with us even as life gets busy. Actress Adrija Roy, who is currently seen in Anupamaa, looks back at her childhood, recalling simpler times, childhood dreams and the lessons that continue to influence her even today.

Adrija Roy: Children’s Day Was Always Something I Looked Forward To In School

Recalling her school days and Children’s Day celebrations, Adrija tells Bollywood Bubble, “Children’s Day was always something I looked forward to in school. There were performances, fun activities, chocolates and so much excitement. I think what I miss the most is the simplicity of those celebrations. We didn’t need anything grand to be happy. Just being with friends, laughing over silly things and enjoying the day was enough.”

Talking about what drew her towards acting, she adds, “I have always liked expressing myself, whether through dancing, performing or simply being in front of people. I was fascinated by films and television as a child. I would watch actors on screen and imagine myself living different lives through different characters. It wasn’t one particular incident, but a gradual realisation that acting was something I genuinely enjoyed.”

While she is happy with the direction her career has taken, Adrija admits that she sometimes misses the freedom of childhood. “I really miss those days when I could spend an entire day doing absolutely nothing and still feel like it was the best day ever. Life is much more scheduled now, but I do wish I could relive those carefree days sometimes,” she says.

Adrija: Let Children Grow At Their Own Pace

Reflecting on her journey so far, the actress shares that being part of Anupamaa and getting the opportunity to connect with audiences through her character is something she truly values. She also feels children today face greater pressure because of social media, competition and constant comparisons.

Sharing her message for parents, Adrija says, “Let children grow at their own pace. Every child has a different personality, talent and journey. I believe kindness and respect are two values every child should learn.” She adds, “If I could say something to my younger self, I would tell her to enjoy every phase of life and not rush to grow up. Don’t lose your innocence, curiosity and ability to find happiness in the smallest things.”
