Sometimes, the things that appear simple from the outside become the hardest when lived in reality. Actress Meena Mir, currently seen as Gayatri Devi in Sun Neo’s Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, went through this very journey. Since her character reminded her of her own mother, she believed it would be effortless to step into the role. But once the cameras rolled, she realized the challenge ran much deeper.
Drawing Inspiration From Her Mother
“When I first heard about the character of Gayatri Devi, I instantly felt connected because she reminded me so much of my own mother,” Meena shared.
“Growing up, I closely observed my mother—her speech, her reactions, the way she carried herself with dignity yet warmth. That made me think the role would come naturally to me. I thought I already knew the tone, expressions, and small details. Initially, it felt like an easy task.”
The Reality of Portraying Gayatri Devi
As filming began, Meena realized that recreating her mother’s essence on-screen required more than observation.
“My mother may have been my inspiration, but bringing that alive on camera demanded effort, patience, and discipline,” she explained.
“I had to balance strength with gentleness, authority with empathy, and tradition with emotions—all at the same time. That’s when I truly understood the deeper layers of Gayatri Devi. In the process, I also gained a new respect for my mother’s silent strength in real life.”
The Story of Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani
The show tells the tale of Ghevar, a spirited young girl from a small Rajasthani village. Orphaned early, she grows up under the loving care of her elder brother and sister-in-law. Her life, rooted in family bonds, takes an unexpected turn when destiny places a newborn in their path—a child who connects two very different worlds.
As hope, heartbreak, and hidden truths unfold, Ghevar finds herself at the heart of a powerful story of promises, sacrifices, and a woman’s fight to protect what she loves.
