Star Plus’ upcoming show Sayoneee has been creating buzz ever since its first promos dropped. Produced by Sargun Mehta’s Dreamiyata Entertainment, the show marks Rashami Desai’s much-awaited return to television and has already sparked curiosity among viewers. The recently released promo introducing Gautam Singh Vig alongside Jahnvi Soni has further fueled the excitement, offering a glimpse into the relationships that will shape Saanvi’s journey. Jahnvi plays Saanvi, a young girl who has grown up in an orphanage without a mother. While Jahnvi hasn’t had a similar experience in her own life, she found a personal connection to Saanvi through one of her closest friends, who also grew up without her mother.
Talking about the experience, Jahnvi shares, “I haven’t personally gone through something like Saanvi has, but one of my closest friends grew up without her mother. She considers her maasi her mother, and I have seen that bond very closely. I would often think about what it must have been like for her while growing up, going to school, giving exams or experiencing important moments without her mother by her side. Over the years, her maasi became her mother figure and her biggest emotional support. I feel many children who grow up in orphanages also find someone they emotionally connect with, someone who becomes that sense of family and comfort for them.”
She adds, “That helped me understand Saanvi and her longing for a mother’s love and a sense of belonging. While preparing for the character, I tried to draw from what I had seen and understood through my friend’s journey. It helped me connect with Saanvi’s emotions and understand why finding that mother figure means so much to her.”
Starring Rashami Desai, Jahnvi Soni and Gautam Singh Vig, Sayoneee premieres on 23rd September at 7:30 PM on Star Plus and JioHotstar.
