Padmini Kolhapure’s TV Return Highlights Maternal Love

MUMBAI (IANS) -Veteran actress Padmini Kolhapure who has returned to TV screens after 11 years, reflected on the timeless nature of motherhood, drawing parallels between her personal life and her role as Rajmata in ‘Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan.’

She shared that her maternal emotions for her son, Priyaank, remain as strong as ever, even though he is now grown. “Portraying Rajmata has been one of the most emotionally enriching experiences for me. There’s something incredibly powerful about a mother who is also a queen, someone who must balance the weight of the crown with the warmth of her embrace,” Kolhapure shared.

She further elaborated on the connection to her own life: “As I live and breathe Rajmata on screen, I often find myself drawing parallels to my own life as a mother. The protective instinct, the fierce love, the sacrifices – you start realizing how universal and timeless these emotions are. Even though my son is grown up now, the maternal emotions never really fade. They evolve. This role reminded me of those early days, guiding, nurturing, sometimes worrying, but always loving. It has brought me closer to my own journey in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Rajmata’s strength lies in her softness, and I think that’s something every mother can relate to.”

The historical drama also stars Anuja Sathe, Ronit Roy, and Rumi Khan.
