Sonakshi Batra on working with veteran actor Suhita Thatte: “I learn something new in every scene”

Jagadhatri has been winning viewers’ hearts with its emotional storytelling, thrilling twists, and powerful characters. The Zee TV show has managed to stand out by beautifully blending family drama, suspense, and emotion. At the centre of the story is Jagadhatri, played by Sonakshi Batra, who appears to be a simple, soft-spoken girl at home but secretly leads a double life as a fearless undercover officer, Agent JD.

While Jagadhatri confidently handles dangerous missions and fights criminals in her professional life, her personal life remains equally challenging. At home, she constantly faces problems because of her stepmother and aunt, who continue to trouble her and treat her unfairly. Despite all the emotional struggles inside the house, Jagadhatri always finds strength in one person — her beloved Aaji.

Played by veteran actress Suhita Thatte, Aaji has become Jagadhatri’s biggest emotional support system ever since she lost her mother. Through every difficult moment, Aaji has stood beside her granddaughter like a protective shield, encouraging and supporting her through every challenge.

Aaji becomes Jagadhatri’s biggest emotional strength

One of the most emotional aspects of the show is the unbreakable relationship between Jagadhatri and Aaji. Aaji is not only Jagadhatri’s grandmother but also the only person in the family, apart from Shivaay, who knows Jagadhatri’s biggest secret — that she is actually undercover officer Agent JD.

Instead of reacting with fear or anger after learning the truth, Aaji chooses to protect Jagadhatri and stand by her side. She keeps her secret safe from the rest of the family and silently supports her through every dangerous situation.

Viewers recently witnessed an emotional track where Aaji pretended to be upset with Jagadhatri after her marriage to Shivaay, played by Farman Haider. However, despite showing anger in front of the family, Aaji secretly continued supporting Jagadhatri at every step.

Audiences have especially connected with the heartwarming bond between Jagadhatri and Aaji. Their emotional scenes together beautifully showcase the pure bond between a grandmother and granddaughter, making their moments one of the show's most beloved aspects.

“Working with Suhita Thatte ma’am is a blessing”

Talking about these emotional scenes and her experience of working with veteran actress Suhita Thatte, Sonakshi Batra shared that Jagadhatri and Aaji’s bond is one of the most special relationships for her in the show.

The actress said that ever since Jagadhatri lost her mother, Aaji has remained her emotional strength and biggest support system. Even when the entire family misunderstands Jagadhatri or mistreats her, Aaji quietly stands by her and protects her.

Sonakshi revealed that the recent storyline, where Aaji discovers Jagadhatri’s truth as an undercover police officer and still chooses to protect her secret, touched her deeply. According to her, even though Aaji pretends to be angry in front of the family, her love and pride for Jagadhatri still shine through in every scene.

The actress also shared that the relationship reminds her of her own grandmother and the warmth, comfort, and support grandparents bring into people’s lives.

Speaking about working with Suhita Thatte, Sonakshi called the experience extremely memorable and inspiring. She said, "Suhita ma’am is a brilliant and experienced actor, and every scene with her is a learning experience."

According to Sonakshi, she learns something new about acting, emotions, and scene dynamics every time she performs with the veteran actress. She also praised Suhita Thatte’s grace and honesty as a performer, adding that it automatically motivates her to perform better. Sonakshi described sharing screen space with senior artists like Suhita Thatte as a true blessing for any actor.

New tensions rise inside the family.

Meanwhile, the drama in Jagadhatri continues to intensify. Jagadhatri is currently trying to uncover the truth about Moosa and his connection with Rudra.

At the same time, Maya, who has always cared deeply for Jagadhatri and Shivaay, has begun to feel that the couple may no longer be right for the family. Because of these growing doubts, Maya has begun keeping a close watch on Jagadhatri and Shivaay, which has led to more tension and emotional conflict inside the house.

With mysteries deepening and family problems growing, viewers are eager to see how Jagadhatri will balance her dangerous undercover missions with the challenges at home.
