Zee TV’s Jagadhatri has been keeping audiences hooked to their television screens with its intense drama, emotional twists and gripping storyline. While the show continues to entertain viewers with suspense and family conflicts, the recent storyline around Maya (Sayantani Ghosh) and Sharad (Ajay Singh Chaudhary) has especially struck an emotional chord with the audience. Their complicated relationship and separation are now deeply affecting their daughter, Gunjan (Pari Bhanushali), bringing forward a sensitive and emotional reality that many families may relate to.
Through this emotional segment, Sayantani Ghosh is shedding light on how misunderstandings and conflicts between parents can silently affect children emotionally, especially kids who struggle to express their feelings openly.
As seen in the recent episodes, Maya and Sharad are separated, though not officially divorced, and their emotional distance is deeply affecting their daughter Gunjan. Gunjan is a special child who can neither speak nor hear, making it even more difficult for her to express what she truly feels. Maya and Sharad’s problems also began because Maya somewhere holds Sharad responsible for Gunjan’s situation. While Gunjan misses her father whenever she is with Maya, she equally longs for her mother’s warmth when she is with Sharad. All Gunjan wishes for is to see her parents together as one happy family, but amidst their personal issues and emotional conflicts, Maya and Sharad fail to realise how deeply all of this is affecting her emotionally.
Sayantani Ghosh who plays the role of Maya Deshmukh said, “Separations and divorces do happen, and sometimes they are unavoidable too. But I strongly feel parents need to be extremely careful about how their personal chaos affects their children. Kids learn everything from what they see around them, and many times, unknowingly, we end up setting examples that leave a deep emotional impact on them. Emotional trauma experienced during childhood often stays with a person for life. That is why parents must be sensitive and responsible while dealing with their differences. No child deserves to grow up in an environment filled with constant emotional distress and confusion. Childhood is such a delicate and beautiful phase, and every child deserves love, security, warmth, and happiness. Maya and Sharad may be living separately, but somewhere their emotional distance is deeply affecting Gunjan. She is a very sensitive child and, being special, she cannot always express what she feels. She longs for both her parents equally. When she is with her mother, she misses her father, and when she is with her father, she keeps searching for her mother’s warmth. That emotional confusion silently affects a child. Gunjan’s character beautifully reflects how children quietly absorb every emotion happening around them, even when they are unable to express it openly. Kids like her are even more emotionally vulnerable because they feel everything deeply but often struggle to communicate it. It becomes extremely important for parents to ensure that their child does not suffer emotionally because of their personal issues.”
In the recent episodes, viewers have also seen that after Gunjan’s accident where Sharad saved her, he himself got badly injured. With no place to stay because he could not pay his rent, Jagadhatri (Sonakshi Batra) secretly brought Sharad to the Deshmukh house. Jagadhatri and Shivaay (Farman Haider) have hidden Sharad in the guest room and are taking care of him while he recovers from his injuries. Gunjan and Aarna (Vaishnavi Ganatra) are also aware that Sharad is hiding in the Deshmukh house, and Gunjan is extremely happy that she is finally getting to stay close to her father again. However, Maya is completely unaware of Sharad’s presence in the house. While she has learnt that Sharad saved Gunjan during the accident, she has also found out that he was thrown out of his house because he could not pay the rent, and she is now trying to find where Sharad is.
What turn will Maya and Sharad’s relationship take now? Will they reunite for Gunjan’s happiness, or will conspiracies and misunderstandings create even more distance between them?
