After alluring the audiences with Aahat, the channel is all set to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with its upcoming show Aami Dakini. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Kolkata, Aami Dakini promises to take audiences on a spine-chilling journey.
Bringing a fresh yet eerie narrative that merges folklore with fear, the show promises to be a gripping experience. At the heart of this story is the enigmatic and powerful Dakini — a character that embodies the terrifying beauty of vengeance, played by the talented Sheen Dass.
Known for her nuanced performances, Sheen steps into an entirely new space with this genre-defying role. Speaking about her intense transformation and the thought process behind embodying this enigmatic character, Sheen Dass shares , 'I didn't want her to look like a ghost, I wanted her to look like a curse come alive — something rooted in myth, something people fear not just because of how she looks but because of what she represents.
When I first read about Dakini, I knew I had to dig deep. Dakini isn't just a spirit; she's a story of pain, betrayal, and revenge that never found peace. The team and I worked extensively on her look, body language, and voice modulation to create something visually arresting and emotionally unsettling. Her look is a fusion of ethereal beauty and eerie intensity, created to leave an indelible impact on viewers. From the costume design to the smallest accessories, every detail has been carefully curated to mirror Dakini's inner world.'

Earlier, Sheen shared, 'This role is truly unlike anything I've ever done before. Dakini is an incredibly intense character layered with complexities that challenge every facet of her being. She is powerful, fierce, and unapologetic. Portraying her has been an exhilarating journey, pushing me emotionally and mentally to places I hadn't explored as an actor before. There were moments of sheer adrenaline, moments of deep reflection, and moments when I had to confront raw, uncomfortable emotions head-on.
I'm confident that audiences will be captivated by her unpredictable nature and the dark, thrilling world she inhabits. This isn't just a show, it's an emotional rollercoaster that will grip viewers from start to end.'

Talking about how Harbhajan Singh had fallen in love with her, Geeta shared that he had seen one of her posts and it was probably love at first sight for the cricketer. "Harbhajan had asked for my number from his fellow-cricketer Yuvraj Singh, as he had a lot of friends. After this, Harbhajan messaged me. But I didn't respond to his message as I had no idea or interest in cricket or cricketers. They had just won the world cup back then..." Adding to it, Geeta further said, "I replied to him a few days later, congratulating him. Sometime later we spoke again.
