Jagadhatri actress Sayantani Ghosh shares an important message through Maya’s story, says “No child deserves emotional distress”

Jagadhatri has managed to keep the audience hooked to the television screens with its high drama, emotional twists, and an engaging plot. Although the TV series continues to entertain audiences with thrilling episodes and conflicting stories among the characters, the current story about the emotional and difficult relationship between Maya (played by Sayantani Ghosh) and Sharad (played by Ajay Singh Chaudhary) has touched the audiences' hearts the most. The separation of Maya and Sharad is deeply affecting their daughter Gunjan (played by Pari Bhanushali). Through this story, Sayantani Ghosh highlights how misunderstanding and discord in parents' relationships can adversely affect their children emotionally without the children saying a word about it.As seen in recent episodes, Maya and Sharad are separated, though not officially divorced, and their emotional distance deeply affects their daughter Gunjan. Gunjan is a special child who can neither speak nor hear, making it even more difficult for her to express what she truly feels. Maya and Sharad’s problems also began because Maya somewhere holds Sharad responsible for Gunjan’s situation. While Gunjan misses her father whenever she is with Maya, she equally longs for her mother’s warmth when she is with Sharad. All Gunjan wishes for is to see her parents together as one happy family, but amidst their personal issues and emotional conflicts, Maya and Sharad fail to realise how deeply all of this is affecting her emotionally.Sayantani Ghosh who plays the role of Maya Deshmukh said, “Separations and divorces do happen, and sometimes they are unavoidable too. But I strongly feel parents need to be extremely careful about how their personal chaos affects their children. Kids learn everything from what they see around them, and many times, unknowingly, we end up setting examples that leave a deep emotional impact on them. Emotional trauma experienced during childhood often stays with a person for life. That is why parents must be sensitive and responsible while dealing with their differences. No child deserves to grow up in an environment filled with constant emotional distress and confusion. Childhood is such a delicate and beautiful phase, and every child deserves love and happiness. Maya and Sharad may be living separately, but somewhere their emotional distance is deeply affecting Gunjan. She is a very sensitive child and, being special, she cannot always express what she feels. She longs for both her parents equally. When she is with her mother, she misses her father, and when she is with her father, she keeps searching for her mother’s warmth. That emotional confusion silently affects a child. Gunjan’s character beautifully reflects how children quietly absorb every emotion happening around them, even when they are unable to express it openly. Kids like her are even more emotionally vulnerable because they feel everything deeply but often struggle to communicate it. It becomes extremely important for parents to ensure that their child does not suffer emotionally because of their personal issues.”
