The trailer of the show has already made a strong impact, and Pankhuri's appearance has caught everyone's attention for its emotional intensity. Pankhuri says, 'This may be a cameo, but it's one of the most emotional roles I've done after Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka. The moment I heard the scenes, I felt something deep inside. I knew it was going to stay with me. Especially the fact that I was playing a mother after becoming one myself really connected with me. There was pain, helplessness, silence, and strength all in one… so much to express and perform, which is what made it more powerful for me. ' She shares, 'There are such emotional scenes that I had tears in my eyes while just reading them on paper…' Adding further, she says, 'This show is actually a sort of comeback for me after delivering my twins. Figuring out how to balance my work and my babies was something I was very skeptical about—and a powerful cameo seemed like the right way to test the waters and return to what I love most: acting.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Even though her role in Dhakad Beera is brief, her performance leaves a deep impact. Fans have already begun talking about her emotional presence and expressive depth. She shares, 'Another aspect that truly drew me to this show was its strong social relevance. It sheds light on pressing issues that still exist in certain parts of our country—even today, many people are not free to live their lives on their own terms. The storyline is rooted in the harsh reality of honour killings, and beyond its emotional and narrative depth, I was deeply moved by the intention behind it. As an actor, I feel incredibly fulfilled when I'm part of projects that aim to create awareness, spark conversations, or bring about change in society. Even if the story manages to touch just one heart or change one mindset, it means the show has done its job. I truly believe we, as artists, have the power to influence thought and inspire change—and being part of something with that kind of impact is what makes me feel most connected to my craft.' She concludes, 'Every second I was on screen, I gave it my full heart. I'm truly glad I got to be a part of this story, and I hope it touches the audience's heart as well.'

She further added, "If god forbid I have to work for survival, I will do a show, no matter how daily soapy it is, no matter how typical it is.
