Jagadhatri continues to engage audiences with its intense storytelling, and among its many compelling characters, Tapasya (played by Yesha Harsora) is currently the talk of the town. She has been the highlight of the story as her true colours are now out in front of Maya Deshmukh (played by Sayantani Ghosh). Tapasya is far from the typical docile television character, she is blunt, impatient, entitled, and unapologetically rude, especially towards her sister Jagadhatri (played by Sonakshi Batra).

Yesha Harsora gets candid about her character


Talking about stepping into Tapasya’s shoes, Yesha admits that the character is extremely different from her real-life personality. In fact, portraying Tapasya has been one of her most challenging roles so far. She says, “I genuinely have to convince myself to be this rude. Tapasya is extremely blunt and often badtameez in the way she expresses herself. That kind of negativity doesn’t come naturally to me, so before every scene, I mentally prepare myself to show that aggression and attitude. What’s interesting is that in most high-end household dramas, Tapasya is often the only one speaking the truth. Her way is harsh and impolite, but what she’s saying usually makes complete sense. That grey area makes her character very real and very engaging to play. Tapasya is extremely impatient, and that’s exactly why she keeps landing herself in trouble. Playing her has taught me the importance of staying calm and patient in real life. I’ve realised that reacting impulsively rarely helps, and sometimes taking a pause can change everything. I love playing characters that challenge me as an actor. Tapasya pushes me emotionally and mentally, and that’s what excites me the most. Roles like these help you grow, both professionally and personally.”



Upcoming track in Jagadhatri

Tapasya’s anger has now intensified, especially towards Maya. After Jagadhatri slapped her for disrespecting Maya, Tapasya has become even more bitter and agitated. She has decided to make Maya’s life miserable and has begun creating trouble for her by using Gunjan and Maya’s ex-husband, Sharad.

On the other hand, Jagadhatri and Shivaay (played by Farman Haider) set out on a risky mission to trap Musa and rescue the girls. While they manage to succeed, their troubles are far from over. With several unanswered questions and new challenges ahead, will Jagadhatri and Shivaay be able to overcome what lies next?
