Shakti, since its launch touched upon many aspects including societal acceptance, inclusivity, biases and others that Saumya as a transgender fought against. The show recently took a leap and revolved around Heer’s life as she went through similar trials and tribulations as she embraced her identity.
Rubina Dilaik will be back on the show after a span of two years and will reprise her role of Saumya. Her character sets out on a new journey.
Talking about her return, Rubina Dilaik said, “Shakti…Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii has been one of the pathbreaking shows on television that very aesthetically portrayed the story of a Kinnar and showcased the lesser-known side of the community. It has been a fantastic journey and I have always been thrilled with the love and appreciation the viewers showered on it. After a hiatus, I am very excited to be back on the show as Saumya, with a renewed spirit, new power, and determination. It feels like a homecoming and I am looking forward to reuniting with the cast and moreover to this incredible new phase of the show.”
