Mumbai, November 6, 2025: Across India, countless women fight battles invisible to the world. Some unfold in boardrooms, others in classrooms, and many within the four walls of their homes, where their voices are often silenced. Yet, women rise quietly but powerfully, building identities no force can erase.

 

Born from this spirit, Zee TV presents its new fiction show, Jagadhatri, a stirring tale of duality, resilience, and the untold strength of women. At home, Jagadhatri is overlooked, subdued, and unloved. But once she steps into her hidden avatar as Agent JD, she transforms into a fearless undercover officer; sharp, relentless, and unstoppable. Her mission is two-fold: to battle the world’s darkest crimes and to uncover the truth behind her mother’s mysterious death, reclaiming her identity in a home that never truly saw her.

 

Actress *Sonakshi Batra* brings alive this paradoxical journey, portraying a woman fragile in her family’s eyes yet formidable when she embraces her true self. Jagadhatri is not driven by revenge, but by truth. She represents every woman who is underestimated at home yet rises as a force of nature when the world challenges her worth.

 

Standing by her side is *Farman Haider* as Shivay, Jagadhatri’s closest friend. Orphaned at a young age, Shivay masks his pain with charm and wit. Like her, he too has been overlooked, yet through her, he finds meaning. In a role reversal of strength, she becomes his liberator, helping him break free from his own walls. Together, in their secret missions, they become each other’s confidant, ally, and silent pillar of strength, proving that a woman’s fight becomes stronger when true allies walk beside her.

 

The show also features the dynamic *Sayantani Ghosh* as Maya, is a media mogul, who rules her empire with discipline and iron will. For Maya, control is survival, and while her family is her top priority, her protectiveness often crosses into dominance. Beneath her commanding presence lies a woman silently weighed down by the chaos she works so hard to contain.

 

To mark the show's launch, Zee TV honoured the women officers of the Nirbhaya Squad and their families, true examples of duality themselves. These women, who safeguard society with unmatched courage, also shoulder the roles of mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives. Their heartfelt stories resonated deeply, echoing the essence of Jagadhatri: the silent strength of women who fight unseen battles both inside and outside their homes.

 

*Mangesh Kulkarni*, Chief Channel Officer, *Zee TV*, said, “At Zee TV, our storytelling has always been rooted in celebrating the indomitable spirit of women. From Saru and Vasudha to Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, and now with Jagadhatri, we’ve consistently brought alive narratives that showcase how women are not just the backbone of their families, but also a driving force in society. With Jagadhatri, we are taking this legacy forward by presenting a story that is both emotionally stirring and deeply relatable, one that honors the everyday heroes among us, women who balance their silent battles at home with their fearless journeys in the outside world.”

 

*Raghavendra Hunsur*, Chief Content Officer, *ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd.*, said, “Jagadhatri reflects the courage and quiet resilience of women who lead extraordinary missions, save lives and redefine strength, yet remain overlooked within their own homes. The show beautifully portrays this duality of women who balance two worlds with grace and determination. After receiving immense love in our Bangla and South markets, we’re excited to bring this inspiring story to a wider audience through Zee TV.”

 

Speaking about her role, Sonakshi Batra shared, “I feel truly honored to play Jagadhatri, a character who reflects the silent strength of countless women, those who may be overlooked within their homes but transform into invincible forces when they embrace their true selves. Bringing alive such a layered and empowering role has been an enriching journey, one that continues to shape me as both an actor and a person. For me, Jagadhatri is not just a show, it’s a powerful statement about resilience, identity, and the unstoppable spirit of women.”

 

Farman Haider added, “What I love about Shivay is that he doesn’t fight Jagadhatri’s battles for her; he stands beside her, amplifying her strength without ever overshadowing it. He embodies the kind of ally every empowered woman deserves supportive, loyal, and unwavering. As an actor, I enjoy exploring characters with such depth and nuance, and Shivay is just that. I’m proud to be part of a story as powerful and meaningful as Jagadhatri.”

 

Sayantani Ghosh said, “Maya is a very unique and layered character. She’s strong, independent, and a successful businesswoman who firmly believes that power is the only way to survive. There’s a lot of depth to her personality, and I’m truly excited to explore and bring out the many shades of this role. I am sure people will love the story of Jagadhatri. ”

Jagadhatri is not just a story of one woman; it is a tribute to millions. It’s about survival, resilience, and redefining what it means to be truly unstoppable.
