On April 20, 2024, is not the date mentioned but actress Eisha Singh spoke about the lack of awareness regarding autism in Mumbai. Eisha Singh, who will play the role of an autistic girl named Juhi in her upcoming show 'Juhi Mui', emphasized the need for people to understand and accept autism. In a recent interview, the actress expressed her concern that many individuals still hold misconceptions about the neurological condition. According to Eisha, people often unfairly label autism as a disease, which is incorrect. Autism, she explained, is a neurological disorder and not a disease. The actress pointed out that some parents even worry that autism can spread from one person to another, which is completely false.
Eisha stressed that children on the autism spectrum are often exceptionally intelligent, loving, and remarkable individuals who deserve empathy and understanding. To prepare for her role, Eisha spent considerable time researching autism to portray the character with authenticity. She watched numerous interviews, met people, conducted extensive research, and read widely on the subject. Eisha incorporated certain aspects of her own understanding into the performance, making it a blend of research, observation, and personal interpretation. The actress revealed that portraying Juhi required more than just a physical transformation, as they worked extensively on the character's behavior, speech, and mannerisms.
