Actress Sayantani Ghosh is currently winning appreciation for her portrayal of Maya in Rahul Kumar Tewary's Jagadhatri. The actress believes that even after two decades in the entertainment industry, challenging roles are what keep her passion for acting alive. Known for taking on layered and impactful characters, the actress says she thrives on complexity rather than comfort.
What Attracts Her to a Role
Talking about what attracts her to a role, Sayantani shares that the answer has remained unchanged throughout her career. “The biggest factor for me is how challenging the role is,” she says. “After 20 years of work, performing demanding scenes becomes second nature. When someone casts me, they are doing so because of certain qualities I bring to the table, and versatility is one of them.”
The actress admits that she finds it more frustrating when she isn't given enough scope as a performer. “It is actually more disappointing when I don't get good, challenging material to perform,” she explains. “I am expected to play diverse, complex and versatile characters, and those are the roles I enjoy the most. They continue to excite me even today.”
Maya's Role in Jagadhatri
In Jagadhatri, Maya remains one of the most influential figures in the Deshmukh family. While she commands authority, the family dynamics around her are far from simple. According to Sayantani, the coming episodes will peel back several layers of the story and reveal hidden truths that could change everything.
“Maya is respected because of her position, but many family members are not truly on her side,” she reveals. “There are tensions brewing beneath the surface. With Rekha, Sampada and Sharad becoming central to the ongoing track, viewers are going to witness major revelations that will alter relationships within the family.”
Emotional Turn in Maya's Personal Life
The actress also hints at an emotional turn in Maya's personal life. Audiences will soon get a deeper understanding of Maya's marriage and the unresolved emotions that still linger between her and her estranged husband.
“There is still love between them,” she says. “They may be separated and not legally divorced, but somewhere they still long for each other. That leaves room for hope and possibilities in the future.”
What Lies Ahead
With fresh twists, shifting loyalties and emotional revelations on the horizon, Sayantani is excited about what lies ahead. “There are many layers of the story that are yet to unfold, and I can't wait for the audience to witness them,” she concludes.
