Devoleena Bhattacharjee, who plays the role of Goddess Chhatti Maiyaa in Sun Neo’s show ‘Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, expressed, “When I was offered this role, I was pleasantly surprised because it’s unlike any character I’ve played before. It’s my debut as a Goddess on screen, and I never imagined portraying such a role. This is also the first time Chhatti Maiyyaa is being introduced on Hindi TV, which makes it even more special. Playing this role has been a fulfilling experience. I’ve immersed myself in the culture of Bihar and learned a lot about Chhatti Maiyya herself.

Kamya Panjabi, who plays the role of Mohini in Sun Neo’s show Ishq Jabariya, shared, “I’m delighted to be a part of not just a new show, but a new channel – Sun Neo. Ishq Jabariya sheds light on social issues in rural areas, and I’m privileged to contribute to such meaningful projects. I portray Mohini, the aunt of the protagonist, who has her own story filled with mixed emotions, pain, and injustice. While I can’t reveal much about my character at this stage, audiences will witness a strong bond between me and the hero of the show. As always, I’ll strive to bring my unique touch and essence to the character.”
Sangita Ghosh, who plays the character of Saroj in Sun Neo’s Saajha Sindoor, said, “I’m filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness as I’m playing an antagonist onscreen. Saajha Sindoor is set in Rajasthan, and it’s the first time I’ll be exploring a character from a rural background. I’ll be playing Saroj, a character with a complex personality. She’s the kind of person who will evoke different reactions from different people—some will like her, some will dislike her, but no one will be able to ignore her. Saroj operates with her own agenda, making her extremely unpredictable. I’m grateful not only to be a part of a new show but also to be working with a channel like Sun Neo that’s enthusiastic about entertaining viewers.”
Sahil Uppal, who plays the male lead Gagan in Sun Neo’s Saajha Sindoor, said, “Associating with a new channel with fresh energy and enthusiasm is amazing. I’m grateful to Sun Neo for giving me a chance to be a part of an interesting show like Saajha Sindoor. I play the character of Gagan; he’s a very ideal husband and son. He has a very high sense of justice; he’ll even take a stand and go against his father if he is wrong. He is very loyal to his wife. Not revealing much, the story is very interesting, and the journey so far has been great. Being a part of Sun Neo is great, and I look forward to the audience watching our show and sharing their feedback.”
