Rubina Dilaik
Bigg Boss 14 winner Rubina Dilaik returns to play Saumya in Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki. Her transgender character appears more confident as the show takes a new turn. In December 2019, Dilaik had quit the show after being a part of it for four years. A generation leap, and the introduction of new characters had left her with little to do. Now, her re-entry has made the makers provide another twist in the tale.
Shakti… Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii has been instrumental in breaking stereotypes by beautifully showcasing the life of a transgender(Kinnar) through Saumya’s story. The show since its launch touched upon many aspects including societal acceptance, inclusivity, biases and others that Saumya fought against. The show recently took a leap and revolved around Heer’s life as she went through similar trials and tribulations as she embraced her identity. Rubina Dilaik, who beautifully portrayed the character of Saumya and breathed life into it is now set to return to the show as it takes a new turn. Donning a more powerful avatar, Saumya will set out on a new journey by being more confident of her identity and her place in society.
