Sun Neo Stars Eshaa Pathak and Megha Ray Reflect on the Gurus Who Shaped Their Lives

Life introduces us to countless people, but it’s the gurus, our true guides, who leave the most lasting impact. On the occasion of Guru Purnima, Sun Neo actors Eshaa Pathak (Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri) and Megha Ray Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani) opened up about the mentors who’ve lit their path and helped them grow, both personally and professionally.

For Eshaa Pathak, who brings Gauri to life on screen, learning is a constant, and gurus come in many forms. “A guru is someone who helps shape who we are,” she said. “I’ve learned from everyone, from children to elders, directors to co-actors. Even how people react around us teaches us so much. If you're open to learning, the world becomes your classroom. But even the best teacher can’t help you if you’re not willing to learn. What makes a guru special is their humility and their unwavering belief in you. That trust is truly priceless. I’m grateful for every teacher and mentor who’s helped me grow. On Guru Purnima, I just want to say a heartfelt thank you.”

Megha Ray, known for her role as Divya, echoed similar sentiments and beautifully traced her journey of learning. “My first gurus were my parents. They taught me how to walk, eat, and make decisions. As an actor, my director becomes my guru, guiding me with their vision and shaping my performance. And then, it’s the audience. Their love and feedback help me grow and evolve. A true guru doesn’t just teach. They correct, encourage, and guide you to be better. This Guru Purnima, I’m reaching out to all my mentors to thank them for being the light in my journey.”

Their heartfelt reflections come from a place of deep gratitude and humility, values that are at the core of their on-screen characters too. In Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, Eshaa’s Gauri is a resilient, kind-hearted woman who faces hardships after an unwanted marriage but rises above them with faith and strength. Meanwhile, Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani follows Megha’s character, Divya, as she navigates love, secrets, and mysteries in an unpredictable, emotional rollercoaster.Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri airs at 8:00 PM and Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani at 8:30 PM, every Monday to Sunday only on Sun Neo.
