Jagadhatri Star Sayantani Ghosh On Playing A Layered Character: 'Maya Deshmukh Has Made Me Stronger'

Zee TV drama Jagadhatri is raising tension as Jagadhatri doubts Rudra after Shivaay is shot, while Maya Deshmukh stands by the family. The track now explores trust, loyalty and truth, with Sayantani Ghosh calling Maya one of the most meaningful roles of this phase in the show.

As upcoming episodes unfold, Jagadhatri will keep collecting evidence against Rudra and will also search for Musa. The situation worsens when Shivaay tells the police that Rudra did not shoot. This leaves Jagadhatri without Shivaay’s support for the first time, creating doubts about Shivaay’s motives and future stand.

Jagadhatri twists and Maya Deshmukh conflict

The recent turmoil in Jagadhatri began after Rudra, played by Ayushh Shrivastava, shot Shivaay, portrayed by Farman Haider. The Deshmukh family was stunned by the attack. Jagadhatri, essayed by Sonakshi Batra, felt shattered but stayed focused on the truth. Jagadhatri traced the attack back to Rudra and tried to expose Rudra, yet proof stayed out of reach.

Jagadhatri drama and Maya Deshmukh loyalty

Within Jagadhatri, Maya Deshmukh, portrayed by Sayantani Ghosh, refuses to suspect Rudra despite rising doubts. Maya shares a close relationship with Jagadhatri and Shivaay, yet chooses her brother and family. This stand highlights Maya’s firm loyalty and the emotional pressure on Maya Deshmukh as events in Jagadhatri grow more intense.

Speaking about portraying such a layered character, Sayantani Ghosh shared, "Playing Maya Deshmukh has truly been one of the most layered and fulfilling experiences for me as an actor. What I love most about her is that she is not just strong on the surface, there are so many emotions, conflicts, and shades within her that make her incredibly real. Especially in the recent episodes, we've seen how Maya is willing to go to any extent to protect and save her family, and that's something I deeply connect with. In many ways, I see a reflection of myself in Maya. In real life too, I stand up for my family no matter what. Like her, I believe in being strong when it matters the most. While I do relate to her strength, there are still qualities in Maya that I am learning from traits that I believe will make me an even stronger person, both personally and professionally. I genuinely admire Maya as a character, which is why portraying her has been such a rewarding journey. It's challenging, yes, but it's also the kind of role that teaches you so much along the way. Characters like Maya don't come often they are rare and truly special. Also, being a part of Jagadhatri makes this journey even more exciting. The show is progressive and different in its storytelling, and that's something that constantly inspires me and makes me fall in love with my work even more."

These turns in Jagadhatri place Jagadhatri, Rudra, Shivaay and Maya Deshmukh at a crossroads. Viewers will watch whether Jagadhatri finds proof, if Shivaay renews support, and how Maya balances loyalty and truth. The show continues to focus on family bonds and personal strength within its unfolding mystery.
