Sony Entertainment Television’s historical epic Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan beautifully captures the rise of one of India’s most legendary kings, and now, the moment everyone has been waiting for is finally near, the coronation of young Prithviraj, following the heart-wrenching demise of King Someshwar.
Unforgettable experience
The show has been an unforgettable experience for actor Padmini Kolhapure, who essays the role of the regal and resilient Rajmata, a mother who has just lost her son, King Someshwar, and must now gather every ounce of strength to stand tall beside her young grandson as he is crowned the new king. This emotionally charged track not only marks the beginning of Prithviraj’s journey as a ruler but also showcases the strength and resilience of Rajmata.
Duality of pain and pride was not easy to portray
Sharing her thoughts, Padmini Kolhapure says, “As Rajmata, I had to portray a woman who is silently shattered after losing her son, King Someshwar, but still stands tall because her grandson now carries the hopes of an entire kingdom. That duality of pain and pride was not easy to portray, but it was deeply fulfilling as an actor. There’s an old saying that ‘for something great to happen, something has to end.’ This couldn’t be truer for this part of the story.”
Urva Savaliya is a remarkable young talent
Padmini said the passing of King Someshwar closes a chapter of the kingdom’s history, but it also marks the beginning of Prithviraj’s journey as a ruler and protector of his people. Urva Savaliya, who plays Prithviraj, is such a remarkable young talent. There is honesty in his performance that is rare, when he looks at you with those eyes; you feel the emotions are real, not acted.
Padmini said further, “I’ve always believed that certain roles come into your life to remind you of the power of stillness, of grace under pressure, and Rajmata has been exactly that for me.”
