Having narrated several powerful stories over the years, Zee TV continues to present shows that celebrate resilience, strength, and emotional truth. In line with its refreshed brand promise, Aapka Apna Zee TV, the channel is set to launch its upcoming fiction drama Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan. Featuring Shubhangi Latkar in the powerful role of Ganga Mai, the show captures the inspiring journey of a single mother woman, who chooses to raise her three daughters with strength, dignity, and compassion. The show consists of an ensemble cast- Sheizaan Khan (as Siddhant aka Siddhu), Srishti Jain (as Sahana), Amandeep Sidhu (as Sneha), Vaishnavi Prajapati (as Soni).

All about the show and storyline


Joining this stellar cast is seasoned actress Indira Krishna, who steps into the role of Duragawati, Siddhant’s mother. An authoritative and formidable woman in the male-dominated profession of money lending, she commands both respect and fear in her community. Known for her uncompromising righteousness, she refuses to bow down in front of wrong, even if her decisions come at the cost of her children’s happiness. Sharp, observant, and a quick decision-maker, she embodies strength and justice on the outside, while on the inside, she leaves no stone unturned to show up for her family.

Talking about her character, Indira Krishna said, “Zee TV has always held a very special place in my heart. My journey with the channel began with ‘Manzilein Apni Apni’ and later continued with ‘Afsar Bitiya’. Coming back after such a long gap truly feels like a homecoming. Over the years, I’ve been extremely selective about the roles I take on, as I believe every character should leave a lasting impression on the audience.”

She added, “What instantly drew me to Duragawati in Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan is the strength, complexity, and multiple shades she carries. On one hand, she is authoritative, fearless, and righteous in a male-dominated world. On the other hand, she is a deeply nurturing woman who shoulders her family’s responsibilities with love and care. Portraying such a layered character is both a challenge and a joy for an actor, and I am truly excited for the audience to witness this journey.”

With Indira stepping in as Durgawati, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan adds yet another compelling layer to its narrative of resilience, motherhood, and unbreakable family bonds.
