Zee TV’s popular show Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, starring Sheizaan Khan (Siddhu) and Amandeep Sidhu (Sneha) in lead roles, has consistently been at the forefront of highlighting hard-hitting social issues. From addressing society`s unhealthy preference for a male child to depicting the challenges women face because of their gender, the show has struck a chord with audiences through its powerful storytelling.
Ganga Mai Ki Betiyaan to address dowry
In the recent track, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan sheds light on the deep-rooted stigma of dowry. The narrative takes a poignant turn as Ganga Mai (Shubhangi Latkar) is forced to mortgage her house to meet the hefty demand placed by Sahana’s (Srishti Jain) mother-in-law.
The upcoming episodes will witness how Ganga Mai, Sahana, and Sneha take a bold stand against dowry.
Actor Shubhangi Latkar shares that while dowry remains a serious social issue, portraying such intense situations as an actor can be equally challenging.
Shubhangi shares, “As an actor, I try to honestly portray her helplessness as well as her inner strength. It’s a reminder of how deeply rooted such social pressures can be. At the same time, her journey reflects courage and hope for change.”
“No relationship is worth going against your self-respect”
Speaking about whether she has personally witnessed such situations, the actress adds, “Yes, in earlier times, such situations were not uncommon, even if not always spoken openly. In our family, there was always a clear belief that relationships should be built on respect, not transactions. We chose to walk away from anything that didn’t align with our values. I feel it’s important to stand firm, even if it’s difficult.”
Shubhangi, who is also a mother in real life, emphasizes the importance of raising daughters with strong values. She shares, “As a mother, I always tell my daughter to value herself and never compromise on her dignity. No relationship is worth accepting something that goes against your self-respect. I want every daughter to believe that she deserves love without conditions. Taking a stand may feel tough, but it is always the right thing to do.”
The track will also reveal how Durgawati (Indira Krishna) discovers that Siddhu is in love with someone else and not Purvi (Yasmeen).
