Shubhangi to play Ganga Mai

Zee TV’s upcoming fictional offering, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, brings to life the poignant and empowering journey of a woman wronged by society but determined to rise again.

Adapted from the popular Kannada show, Puttakana Makkalu, the show traces the story of Ganga Mai, a mother who is abandoned by her husband for not bearing a son. Despite the betrayal, she chooses to live with her head held high, fulfilling the duty of both nurturer and provider as she raises her three daughters with strength, love and dignity.

Popular actress Shubhangi Latkar takes on the titular role of Ganga Mai, a woman with no formal education but immense wisdom and emotional depth. She runs a small mess in Varanasi to provide for her three daughters and supports not just her family but also those in the community who look up to her for guidance and comfort.

Speaking about her role, Shubhangi says, “When I first heard the narration, I was moved by the raw honesty of Ganga Mai’s character. She is real, grounded and has faced the harshest realities with so much grace. I said yes almost instantly because roles like these are rare. I’m truly honoured to bring her journey to life and can’t wait for the audience to witness her strength.”
