Doosri Maa revolves around Joshi’s character Yashoda, who adopts her husband’s illegitimate child. “My character is stuck in a dilemma between an innocent child and her husband’s deceit, but she cannot turn a blind eye. While being the perfect homemaker, mother, and daughter-in-law, she is also a social worker and hence cannot ignore the child. Playing out these emotions and Yashoda’s journey seemed exciting to me,” says Joshi. While playing a mother came easy to her, restraining herself emotionally was a tougher job. “I cry when I am happy, sad, angry, and scared. It’s second nature to me, but Yashoda is calm and composed. Restraining myself [from bursting into tears] was tough,” explains the actor, who will next be seen in the Hindi adaptation of Drishyam 2.

There have been rumours that the story of Drishyam 2 has been altered to suit the taste of the Hindi-speaking audience. Confirming the same about the Ajay Devgn-starrer, Joshi says that while there have been small changes, “the skeleton of the story remains untouched”. The opportunity is a big deal for the actor, especially sharing screen space with Tabu “They didn’t treat me like a newbie on set. This was more special because I am a big Tabu fan. I love her,” fangirls Joshi.
