As rivals try to steal her spotlight, she transforms from a voiceless victim into a defiant force, embodying the essence of inner power.
Speaking exclusively about her transition to streaming, Mugdha revealed, ‘OTT was always on my radar, but I held out for a story that truly resonated. This powerful narrative centered on women was the green light I needed from Hungama OTT.’
The actress also opened up about the joyful camaraderie on set, particularly with co-star Sanam. ‘Sanam’s energy is infectious – her dancing skills and work ethic made every day fun. We’d break into dances between takes, keeping the vibe light and supportive.’
The series masterfully explores the undercurrents of unfulfilled longings, toxic dynamics, external pressures, and revolutionary sparks, drawing strong viewer engagement. Mugdha’s career highlights include her childhood role in ‘Azaimaish’, TV debut in ‘Kya Mujhse Dosti Karoge?’, and iconic portrayals like Princess Sanyogita in ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’ and Prachi in ‘Kumkum Bhagya’.
