\"Sonakshi Actress Sonakshi Batra is all set to surprise viewers with a new side of her craft in Jagadhatri. Stepping out of her comfort zone, she will showcase her prowess in high-octane action and stunt sequences, bringing a fierce new dimension to her role.The story is about the journey of a young girl who is subdued and overlooked at home but courageous and relentless as a special undercover agent fighting crime. A fragile daughter to her family, a formidable warrior to the world, she lives a life of duality, torn between seeking love and delivering justice.Speaking about her transformation from emotional scenes to physically demanding stunts in the show, Sonakshi shared, \u201cI\u2019ve always been drawn to strong, layered characters, and this new phase in Jagadhatri has allowed me to explore that strength in a completely new way. I\u2019m accustomed to conveying emotions through words and expressions, but for this role, I had to learn to convey them through body language, energy, and action, which is a completely new and thrilling experience for me.\u201dTo make her on-screen action look authentic, Sonakshi underwent rigorous preparation and self-training. She said, \u201cAlongside rehearsing with the action team, I watched several MMA videos to better grasp the body language of combat. Since our shoot schedule was packed, I practiced whenever possible at home to refine my moves. Regular gym and yoga sessions also helped me boost my stamina and flexibility. I didn\u2019t want it to look choreographed or mechanical, so I practiced with the action team to get the punches, dodges, and reactions right. Initially, I was nervous, especially about safety, but once I got into it, the adrenaline took over! Of course, I did get a few minor bruises along the way, but they were totally worth it.\u201dWhile the action scenes were demanding, Sonakshi also had her share of fun on set. She added, \u201cBetween takes, we\u2019d all laugh about how unglamorous action sequences can be, messy hair, sweat, dust everywhere, but that\u2019s the beauty of it! It\u2019s raw and real. I\u2019ve developed a newfound respect for action performers after this experience.\u201dWith Jagadhatri set to premiere soon, fans can look forward to watching Sonakshi Batra in a powerful new avatar where she is ready to take on every challenge that comes her way. Along with Sonakshi, the show will also star Farman Haider and Sayantani Ghosh<\/a> in pivotal roles.<\/p>\n
