Actress Riddhi Dogra, who is playing the lead in new show "Savitri", is like her character in real-life too, says her husband actor Raqesh Vashisth.

"She is actually Savitri because she stands up and lashes out at anyone, who says anything against me. She has always been very protective about me, she has always fought for me if I was right, she has always been there," Raqesh said here Monday at the launch of the show.

"Savitri" is the story of a woman and her immense love for her husband Satya and how she faces Rahukaal, the devil, to bring her husband back. The show went on air Monday on Life OK.
