Tired of too many ads? go ad free now , who plays the character of Karpura Devi, exclusively shared with Times Of India TV what went behind preparing for the role. The actress also shared her excitement about working with the same team again after . Anuja on working with the team again Very, very exciting because the last show that I did on TV was with the same production house, and now I'm again coming back on TV with the same production itself. So, it's very exciting. It's a great feeling because I know everybody, I've worked with them, and I know how they mount their historical shows. They are specialised, we can say, in making historicals and everything. So, it's great. It's great to be back. And back with the people that I already worked with. What went behind carving a role like Kapura Devi? So, basically, this part of the culture I was completely unaware of. Culture, history and reading up about it and knowing who was involved in this particular region and how the kings ruled and what the history was that went behind it and all of that. That was very new to me. Also, the language part where we have kept the nuances of a little bit of Marwadi and a combination of Hindi. Of course, it's more of Hindi and very little Marwadi is used. But I think that accent and those nuances matter a lot. So, I had to have an understanding of how those words are spoken, what the accent is and how these things are said. Because in the meantime, I had done lots of different work, where it was modern Hindi, English mix, English as we call it. And now going back to the roots, the pure Hindi-based with little Marwadi was a little tough part for me in the beginning. So, I sat with the creatives, and I read the script. We had episodes in our hands already. So, I sat with them so that they could correct me at that given point in time and tell me how it's pronounced. These kinds of preparations went on into putting something into this character. Keep reading this space for more updates.

As a guiding force in Prithviraj's life, Karpura Devi is both the emotional anchor and a symbol of unwavering resilience in the young king's journey. Elated to be a part of the show and talking about the role, Anuja Sathe shares , 'I honestly feel deeply connected to the history and different cultures. So when I was offered this role I knew I had to take this. As an actor, I've always believed that the most powerful roles are the ones that make you feel something beyond the script — and Karpura Devi does exactly that for me. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Complete protection with iPru All-in-one Term Plan ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo From the very beginning, I was drawn to the emotional layers and dignity of Karpura Devi — she is not just a mother in the traditional sense, but also someone who deeply understands her son's destiny and quietly prepares him for it. There's a certain reality and poise that Karpura Devi carries, and getting into that mindset took a lot of internal work. I remember during the initial costume trial, when I first wore her royal attire with the elaborate jewellery, something shifted within me. I looked in the mirror, and for the first time, I didn't see Anuja — I saw Karpura Devi. That moment gave me goosebumps. It made me realize the weight of the legacy I was stepping into, and I felt an immense sense of responsibility to do justice to her journey.'
