“Bringing Smita Zaveri to Life Has Been a Dream” – Gurdip Punjj on Joining Kumkum Bhagya

Zee TV’s Kumkum Bhagya has embraced a thrilling 20-year leap, introducing fresh narratives, complex emotions, and unforeseen twists. Among the most exciting additions is popular television actress Gurdip Punjj, who has stepped into the role of Smita Zaveri, mother to the male lead Raunak (played by Akshay Dev Bindra).

With the leap, new characters have added layered dynamics and compelling relationships, significantly shaking up the storyline.

She is a complex, multi-dimensional character with hidden motives and deep-seated ambitions. I am eager for viewers to witness the emotional rollercoaster that unfolds. Joining such a talented cast and crew in a show with a rich legacy has been an incredible experience, and I can’t wait for the audience’s reaction!”
