Motherhood is the most difficult role. In fact, I was happy to be on set because there were 50 people around to look after me. As a mother, everything has to be done by me and after a while it gets overwhelming because your child has so many demands and you want to meet them. The hardest part is making the decision because you are responsible for someone else’s life. As a parent, this was stressful for me, and just being on set became my stress buster. There was a time when it was – yaar kal chutti nahi hai and now I am very happy when I have to shoot. “

In an interview, Rakshanda talked about her role in the TV series Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin and said that it was one of the most difficult roles she has ever played in her acting career. She explained,
I would say probably Mallika in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. Marika’s job is very difficult. Jassie is such a lovable character and if you want the audience to not hate Malika to the core, you have to make her real, you have to make people believe that this girl has everything people see on the outside – beauty, money and Successful—but without the man she loves. You have to get people to see her as a character who is also in pain, not just a spoiled brat. “
Some of her other Hindi TV shows include Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (2004), Kasautii Zindagii Kay (2005), Kasam Se (2006), Bade Achhe Lagte Hain (2013), Naagin 3 (2018) and Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na (2021).

In an interview, Rakshanda talked about her role in the TV show Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na and said;
I am very happy with Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na as it is very different from any show I have been a part of so far. We’ve actually seen shows with fairy tale endings, but ours starts with a fairy tale love story and what follows makes up the rest of the narrative. It has interesting twists and turns and I’m really excited to play such a royal character for the first time. I hope you all enjoy seeing me in this imperial incarnation. The character of Jaya Maa that I play is very elegant and royal, a person who upholds the royal tradition and also has great business acumen. She also has a lot of layers, so it’s going to be challenging and fun, and I hope everyone continues to shower their love on me and our show. “
