In a recent conversation, the actress opened up about her inspiration behind shaping Jagadhatri’s action sequences, and she credits none other than global icon Priyanka Chopra.

Sonakshi On Bringing Priyanka Chopra’s Depth To Role

Talking about how Priyanka influences her craft, Sonakshi shared, “What stands out about Priyanka Chopra’s performances is how she pairs intensity with emotional clarity. Her action isn’t just physical, it’s purposeful. That mix of tactical precision, strength, and character-driven movement is something I’d love to reflect in Jagadhatri as well. I want her action sequences to feel sharper, more grounded, and deeply connected to who she is at her core. Jagadhatri isn’t just fighting villains, she’s fighting for her values, her people, and her inner strength. Bringing that emotional depth into every punch and every move is what excites me as an actor.”

Sonakshi’s admiration for Priyanka stems from the global mark the actress has made with her action-driven roles in films like Don, Quantico and others. For Sonakshi, replicating that blend of purpose and emotional depth aligns perfectly with Jagadhatri’s own journey as a young woman balancing vulnerability with immense courage.

With Sonakshi drawing inspiration from such a powerful icon, viewers can look forward to even more compelling, sharp, and emotionally charged action sequences in Jagadhatri. The story is set to progress with new challenges coming her way. While Maya's cousin Rudra and Tapasya’s (Jagadhatri's sister) wedding drama is poised to bring major twists, the search for Shivaay’s father continues to intensify.

Don’t miss the action and emotion, watch Jagadhatri every day at 10 PM only on Zee TV!
