Rakshanda Khan joins Yash Patnaik’s upcoming Colors show as a powerful village head in a story centered on honour killings and deep-rooted societal norms.
Set in Haryana, the drama weaves a gripping narrative that spotlights the powerful bond between a brother and sister, set against a backdrop of escalating conflict and emotional turmoil.
Renowned producer Yash Patnaik, known for delivering hit television dramas like Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera, Sadda Haq, Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, and Ishq Mein Marjawan, is all set to roll out his next big project for Colors TV. The upcoming show, currently in production, promises a powerful narrative rooted in strong social themes.
Downtown Mirror Weekly has exclusively learned that television seasoned Rakshanda Khan has been finalised for a prominent role in the show. Known for her commanding screen presence, Rakshanda will be portraying the role of a village head — a character central to the story’s conflict and layered with intensity. The series is set in the rural heartland of Haryana and explores complex social issues, including honour killings and the clash between regressive traditions and modern values.
A source close to the project revealed, “The show is inspired by real-life issues and challenges regressive social norms that are still prevalent in some parts of the country. It will also focus on the emotional and resilient bond between a brother and sister. Rakshanda Khan has been roped in to play the antagonist, a powerful village leader who will be a key figure in the unfolding drama.”
Rakshanda Khan, a household name thanks to her roles in iconic shows like Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat, Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Janam Janam Ka Saath, was last seen in Pracchand Ashoka. The historical drama, which premiered on February 6 last year, unfortunately went off-air within a month due to lackluster ratings.
With a gripping storyline and a strong cast, Yash Patnaik’s new show is expected to spark important conversations while delivering high-voltage drama.
