Exclusive - Harleen Kaur Rekhi on playing the lead in Kaamdhenu Gaumata: It’s an absolute blessing
New TV show Kaamdhenu Gaumata is all set to air from August 11. The show is being produced by Prem Sagar and Shiv Sagar, features actress Harleen Kaur Rekhi in the titular role of Kaamdhenu Devi. The actress spoke about being part of the show and said, "It’s an absolute blessing. The story of Kaamdhenu Gaumata has never been told in its entirety on Indian television."
"People have only seen fragments, never the full truth. What Prem Sagar sir, Ramanand Sagar sir, Shiv Ji, and Neelam ma'am are doing is remarkable. Their vision and dedication are awe-inspiring. If you look at Ramayan, it’s still a benchmark even today. I truly hope our efforts, from pre-production to post-production, resonate with audiences in the same way," she added.
She also confessed that working on the show deepened her spiritual beliefs. She said, "I’ve always been spiritual—there’s a difference between being religious and being spiritual, and I connect with both."
"I’ve been performing in Ramleela for the last 10–12 years during Navratri, so mythology has always been close to my heart. But this show took it to another level. I felt like I explored a whole new version of myself. It deepened my inner connection with the universe," she added.
She further said, "I bonded with Kapila (our Gaumata) on day one itself. Though I was always fond of Gaumata, I never had the courage to be in close proximity to cows — maybe I was just uncomfortable because I’ve never had pets or been around animals closely. But after spending 4–5 months on set with her, the experience transformed me. Even when my parents visited the set, I made sure they met her. She was so loving and calm. Parting away from her was painful too — she could even recognize me just by hearing my footsteps or voice. It’s taken my perspective to a whole new level," Harleen ended.
