Pranoti Pradhan, a versatile actor well-known in the Marathi and Gujarati entertainment industries, is taking on a new and exciting role in Sun Neo’s latest show, Ishq Jabariya. In this series, Pranoti portrays Madhumita, the controlling stepmother of Gulki, who tries to hinder her from achieving her dreams. Recently, Pranoti opened up about her motivations for joining the show and the challenges she faced and overcame with enthusiasm.

Sharing what drew her to this role, Pranoti explained, “When I consider a new role, I look for something substantial and worthwhile. The character needs to have depth, especially with the demands of long hours and extensive travel. The audition script for Ishq Jabariya immediately captivated me. I play Madhumita, a strong-willed woman from Bihar who forces young men into marriage—a real ‘Dabangg’ lady. The suggestion to ride a bullet bike for the role was the cherry on top.”

Discussing the challenges she encountered, Pranoti added, “As a Maharashtrian, using a Bihari accent and language was new to me. It was both stressful and challenging but also thrilling. The curiosity to wake up every morning and explore something new was energizing. I wanted to see how much I could push myself as an actor to play a Bihari character.”

Ishq Jabariya is a touching love story centred around Gulki, a lively young woman who dreams of becoming an air hostess. Despite the tough times she faces with her overbearing stepmother, Gulki remains hopeful and positive. Her journey is full of unexpected events, and she might even find love where she least expects it. The series features Kamya Panjabi, Siddhi Sharma, and Lakshya Khurana in key roles, promising a tale of strength, surprises, and the magic of love.

Tune into Sun Neo to watch Ishq Jabariya, airing every Monday to Saturday at 7:30 PM.
