Kamya Punjabi To Redefine ‘Dayans’ With Raazz Mahal - Dakini Ka Rahasya: I Want To Challenge The Stereotypes

Fantasy drama and supernatural dramas are the new trends on Indian television and the audience is loving the new concepts of the show. Adding to this list is the Shemaroo Umang's upcoming original fantasy show Raazz Mahal - Dakini Ka Rahasya which went on air in November last year. And now, the show will be having a new addition to the cast wherein Kamya Punjabi will be seen playing the role of one of the most glamorous witches onscreen. For the uninitiated, Kamya will be seen playing the role of Mantralekha, the sister of Dakini Chandralekha and will be adding new twists to the storyline.

And while Kamya is quite excited about playing a witch in the show, she wants to redefine the chudail and dayans and didn't take inspiration from anyone. She said, "When I was offered the role of Mantralekha, I knew I wanted to challenge the common stereotypes of a chudail or dayan on screen. Usually, witches are seen screaming or crying loudly, but I categorically refused to follow the age-old norm, as I wanted to break through the barriers and add my personal touch to the character".

She further asserted that she is looking forward to give a glamorous touch to te dayans. "I did not take inspiration from other characters as I don't want to copy anyone else, but I rather approached the character with fresh perspective and creativity. I believe in pushing the boundaries, and each day I'm working towards portraying Mantralekha differently. I am excited to give a glamorous twist to this traditionally feared character and redefine chudails and dayans on screen. It's time to witness a never- before-seen era of witches specially created by Kamya Panjabi," she added.

Apart from Kamya, Raazz Mahal - Dakini Ka Rahasya also stars Himanshu Soni, Neha Arora, Arav Chowdhury, Ridhiema Tiwari etc.
