Indira said, “Zee TV has always held a very special place in my heart. My journey with the channel began with ‘Manzilein Apni Apni’ and later continued with ‘Afsar Bitiya’. Coming back after such a long gap truly feels like a homecoming.”

“Over the years, I’ve been extremely selective about the roles I take on, as I believe every character should leave a lasting impression on the audience,” she added.

As per a statement describing her role, Indira steps into the role of Duragawati, Siddhant’s mother. An authoritative and formidable woman in the male-dominated profession of money lending, she commands both respect and fear in her community.

Sharp, observant, and a quick decision-maker, she embodies strength and justice on the outside, while on the inside, she leaves no stone unturned to show up for her family.

She added: “What instantly drew me to Duragawati in Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan is the strength, complexity, and multiple shades she carries. On one hand, she is authoritative, fearless, and righteous in a male-dominated world.”

Indira said: “On the other hand, she is a deeply nurturing woman who shoulders her family’s responsibilities with love and care. Portraying such a layered character is both a challenge and a joy for an actor, and I am truly excited for the audience to witness this journey.”

The show “Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan” will start airing from September 22 on Zee TV.
