Speaking about her return to this iconic character exclusively to Bollywood Bubble, Elakshi said “I feel amazed that I got to play the same character of Soyarabai for the second time after Tanhaji in my upcoming film Veer Murarbaji. Portraying it for the second time, I feel fortunate that I did justice to Soyarabia’s character, and I now resonate more deeply with it.”

Elakshi Gupta spills beans about her character with excitement and states, “Soyarabai is the second wife of the great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, she was a formidable woman. My character is strong, and it holds a very special place in my heart as the audience will get to more about Soyarabai. I am super grateful as I would be sharing screen space with such amazing and renowned talents of the industry like Deepika Chikhalia Ma’am and Arun Govil Sir, who play my in-laws, Jija Mata, and Sambhaji Raje. It’s like a dream come true to work with legends whom I have grown up watching in Ramayana. Also Ankit Mohan, Tanisha Mukherjee, Sourabh Raaj Jain, and many more.”
