Television veteran Utkarsha Naik, known for her effortless command over layered characters, is currently seen in one of the most spiritually resonant roles of her career — Siddhi Mata in Zee TV’s Tumm Se Tumm Tak, produced by Studio LSD.The moment the character was narrated to her, Utkarsha felt an instant pull—one that she describes as calm, commanding, and deeply compelling.
“Siddhi Mata fascinated me the moment I heard about her. She isn’t written like a regular TV character—there’s a commanding calmness and a divine weight to her. Even during the audition, I felt a powerful connection. It was clear this role had depth, and that’s what made me say yes without a second thought,” Utkarsha shares.
For her, the connection to Siddhi Mata came effortlessly. Utkarsha has always carried a natural spiritual inclination, which made embodying the character’s energy feel organic and meaningful. Siddhi Mata’s belief system aligns with Utkarsha’s own sense of faith and destiny. “Siddhi Mata believes destiny moves everything. Emotions, prayers, devotion—they matter, but she always reminds people that what is written will unfold in its own time.”
In the show, Siddhi Mata becomes an essential guiding force in the lives of Anu and Arya, whose emotional journeys are closely tied to the idea of destiny. Utkarsha explains that Siddhi Mata’s role is not loud or forceful but deeply intuitive. She reads signs, senses energies, and interprets what she believes are blessings or messages from Mata Rani, passing them on to Anu and Arya at the moments they need them most.
“She becomes a spiritual guide in their journey. Whether it’s through her words or subtle nudges, she helps them recognise what destiny is trying to tell them. She doesn’t force anything—she simply illuminates the path that divine energy is pointing towards. That’s how she plays a crucial role in drawing them closer,” Utkarsha adds.
What excites her most is how different Siddhi Mata is from anything she has portrayed before. The world of Tumm Se Tumm Tak carries its own unique flavour, and Utkarsha believes the purity and strength of her character adds emotional depth that lingers with viewers.
“The character stands apart from anything I’ve done before. The whole show has its own distinctive flavour, and Siddhi Mata’s presence adds a layer of purity and strength that stays with you long after the scene ends.”
“Looking back, I feel proud of what I’ve achieved so far,” she concludes. “It’s been a mix of challenges and milestones, and every experience has contributed to my growth as an actor and as a person.”
