Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani actors Gauri Shelgaonkar, Akash Jagga, and Monika Khanna relive Rajasthani traditions during jaipur visit

Before a story finds its way to the hearts of audiences, it first becomes real for those who bring it to life. This became true for the cast of Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri : Beendani, who recently took a heartfelt journey to Jaipur, the culturally rich capital of Rajasthan. For actors Gauri Shelgaonkar , Akash Jagga, and Monika Khanna, the experience was more than just a promotional trip — it was an emotional homecoming to the very roots of their story.

The show follows the life of Ghevar, a resilient young woman from a small Rajasthani village who is raised by her elder brother and sister-in-law. Her life takes a dramatic turn when a newborn enters their lives, uniting two drastically different worlds. Through trials of love, secrets, and sacrifice, Ghevar emerges as a symbol of quiet strength — mirroring the very women who inspired the series.

Gauri Shelgaonkar, who plays the lead role of Ghevar, found her first visit to Rajasthan nothing short of transformative. “This was my first time in Rajasthan, and I feel so grateful that this show gave me the chance to visit such a beautiful place. Meeting real-life Beendanis gave me a deeper understanding of my character,” she shared. “Their resilience, the quiet grace with which they face challenges — it made me emotional. I now carry their stories with me in every scene I perform.”

The trip became a living classroom for the cast, where stories of silent strength and enduring traditions were witnessed firsthand. Gauri’s connection with the women she met brought a new layer of authenticity to her performance. “I feel truly lucky to be part of a show that not only celebrates Rajasthan’s vibrant traditions but also highlights the hidden strength of women who live behind the ghungat,” she added.

Akash Jagga, who plays Kundan, experienced the city through a more personal lens — having grown up in Jaipur himself. “As Jaipur is my hometown, coming here always feels like returning home,” he said with pride. “But this visit was extra special because I got to show my city to my co-actors. From hidden lanes to local eateries, I gave them a taste of the real Jaipur.” For Akash, the blend of professional and personal made this experience deeply fulfilling. “Coming back for a show that celebrates our culture made it even more meaningful.”

Monika Khanna, who essays the role of Ramkudi, called the trip an eye-opener. “I’ve been to Jaipur before, but this time was different. It wasn’t just sightseeing — it was a deep dive into a lifestyle I’m now portraying on screen,” she said. “Learning the local dialects, experiencing daily life, and having Akash as our guide made it all the more special.”

As Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani gears up to unfold its tale of love, tradition, and strength, the journey to Jaipur seems to have added more soul to the storytelling. For the cast, it was a rare chance to live the life of their characters — if only for a few days — and carry the essence of Rajasthan into every frame they shoot.
