Mumbai, March 17 (NationPress) Actress Sonakshi Batra, who plays the lead character in the television series ‘Jagadhatri’, has opened up about her experience filming a perilous scene for the show.
This particular scene revolves around the Holi festivities, where the tension escalates as Tapasya (portrayed by Yesha Harsora) devises wicked schemes against Jagadhatri, putting Maya’s daughter Gunjan (played by Pari Bhanushali) in dire danger.

During the fire stunt, she adhered to all safety protocols, which facilitated the process for our entire team.”

While executing the stunt, I remained highly vigilant since I was responsible for Pari's safety. I knew I had to ensure she was entirely secure throughout the shoot.
