Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Saanvie Tallwar has spoken candidly about her experience shooting the psychological horror thriller Khamosh Aahatein alongside Raqesh Bapat, crediting her co-star's steady encouragement as a key factor in shaping her performance. The show, which premiered on 10 July, features Bapat as Tallwar's on-screen husband.
A Comfortable Working Dynamic
Tallwar, known for her role in Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum, described the on-set rapport with Bapat as both warm and professionally enriching. 'I had a great working equation with Rakesh Bapat. I had seen him in Tum Bin so when I got an opportunity to work with him it was a good surprise. We share a good bond. With a good co-star your performance also becomes better,' she said.
The actress noted that his guidance gave her the confidence to deliver more nuanced scenes, particularly those demanding emotional and psychological depth.
About the Show and Its Unique Cast
Describing Khamosh Aahatein, Tallwar said, 'It is a psychological horror thriller that blends suspense, emotions, and the supernatural in a very gripping way.' She highlighted what she called the project's distinctive collaborative identity — while the primary cast is drawn from India, the supporting cast includes actors from Pakistan and Dubai, lending the production an international dimension rarely seen in Indian horror content.
Tallwar's Character: Ria and the Chakravyuh Curse
Tallwar plays Ria, the story's central character and emotional anchor. 'She's a devoted mother, a loving wife, and a caring sister who believes that family is her greatest strength. She's compassionate, resilient, and will go to any extent to protect the people she loves,' the actress explained.
Ria's world unravels when she becomes ensnared in a mysterious Chakravyuh curse, where every promise demands a sacrifice. 'From that moment on, Ria's world changes completely, and the audience experiences every twist, emotion, and revelation through her journey,' Tallwar said. She described the role as 'both challenging and incredibly fulfilling,' adding that the constant emotional transitions made Ria one of the most rewarding characters she has portrayed.
What Tallwar Is Looking for Next
On future projects, the actress was clear about her priorities: 'I'm open to exploring all kinds of roles as long as they challenge me as an actor. For me, it's always about quality over quantity. I'm looking for meaningful characters with depth, roles that have a purpose, allow me to grow, and leave a lasting impact on the audience.'
Whether in film, OTT, or another medium, Tallwar said what matters most is 'a well-written story and a character I can truly connect with' — a signal that she is positioning herself for more substantive, character-driven work following Khamosh Aahatein.
