Mumbai, Sep 2 (NationPress) Actress Srishti Jain has immersed herself in the Benarasi dialect for her upcoming role in the show “Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan”, describing the journey as both challenging and fulfilling.
During her time filming in the iconic lanes and ghats of Varanasi, Jain took significant steps to ensure her character Sahana embodies authenticity and depth.
Reflecting on her preparation, Srishti expressed, “For me, Sahana is not merely a role; she represents a daughter of Varanasi, and I aimed for her voice to resonate with the essence of this city. The experience of mastering the local dialect has been incredibly rewarding.”
The talented actress collaborated closely with a dialect coach from Varanasi to refine her skills.
“I engaged intensely with a coach, watched relevant videos, and our director, who originates from the Varanasi area, provided insights into nuances of pronunciation and tone,” she noted.
This effort allowed Srishti to forge a stronger connection with the City of Light, known for its significance in Hindu traditions surrounding pilgrimage, death, and mourning. Varanasi is situated in Uttar Pradesh.
“This process not only enhanced my authenticity on screen but also enriched my bond with the city's culture and its people,” she added.
Discussing Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities, Jain remarked: “The energy of Varanasi is palpable, and I wanted every word spoken by Sahana to reflect that vitality.”
The forthcoming drama, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, tells a poignant story of a mother, forsaken by her husband for not having a son, who chooses to raise her daughters with unparalleled strength, grace, and dignity.
The cast includes Shubhangi Latkar as Ganga Mai, alongside Srishti Jain as her eldest daughter Sahana, Amandeep Sidhu as Sneha, and Vaishnavi Prajapati as Soni. The show is set against the evocative backdrop of Varanasi.
“Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan” is poised for an imminent premiere exclusively on Zee TV.
