Mumbai, June 2025: Sony Entertainment Television\u2019s much-anticipated show Aami Dakini is all set to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with its gripping story. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Kolkata, the show marks a return to spine-chilling storytelling for the channel after the iconic show, Aahat. Hitesh Bharadwaj who is essaying the role of Ayan, talks about his show and much more.
\nHow has the experience been working on the show?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been creatively fulfilling. The writing, the visuals, and the emotional undercurrents make it very immersive. I have enjoyed every bit of the process \u2014 from the long night shoots to the quiet moments between takes.<\/p>\n
How was it working with your co-actors?<\/p>\n
I feel really fortunate. Rachi and Sheen are not only talented but also incredibly grounded. There\u2019s a lot of ease between us on set, and that really helps when you are working in emotionally intense scenes. We listen to each other and that makes all the difference.<\/p>\n
This is a new genre for you. How was that experience?<\/p>\n
Very different, very exciting. The show is also about mood, silence, and emotional pacing. It forces you to underplay and internalize everything. That kind of performance stays with you even after pack-up.<\/p>\n
You are part of a show from the makers of Aahat. What does that mean to you?<\/p>\n
Honestly, it feels iconic. I grew up watching Aahat it had this eerie magic. To now be part of that universe feels like a full-circle moment. It\u2019s a legacy, and it comes with responsibility. You don\u2019t just act you contribute to something people still remember years later.<\/p>\n
What kind of preparation did you do for Ayan Roy Choudhary?<\/p>\n
Ayan is very internal. He doesn\u2019t express much but he feels everything. So my preparation involved building his emotional memory. I created a backstory for his childhood, studied his silence, and even journaled as Ayan. I also worked on sensory triggers how he reacts to pain, memory, even something like dust.<\/p>\n
Any fun moments on set?<\/p>\n
I remember one scene where I had to look terrified\u2026 and Rachi made a ridiculous face right before action. Took me everything not to laugh during a serious take. We balance intensity with a lot of off-screen fun.<\/p>\n
How did you build your on-screen chemistry with Rachi (Meera)?<\/p>\n
Rachi is a very instinctive actor, which really helped. We didn\u2019t over-rehearse. Instead, we spoke about our characters\u2019 emotional baggage and let that guide us. We\u2019d often just sit in silence before a scene \u2014 not out of awkwardness, but to let that emotional weight settle in. That made our connection on screen feel very real.<\/p>\n
Any special skills or look transformation involved?<\/p>\n
More than a physical transformation, it was about tapping into Ayan\u2019s emotional energy. He is 28, sharp, driven, but carrying years of unresolved grief. I had to bring that youthful intensity without making him impulsive he is quiet, calculated, but there\u2019s fire underneath. I worked on posture, pace, and even how he listens because with Ayan, sometimes the silence speaks louder than the dialogue. It was about finding that balance between stillness and storm.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s one memorable moment from the shoot so far?<\/p>\n
There was this one scene between Meera (Rachi) and me, where both of us had to be really angry at each other. The emotions were so raw, we completely surrendered to the moment. When the scene ended, there was this silence\u2026 and then the whole crew started clapping. That felt special like something real had just happened. And another one with Sheen I remember telling her, \u201cPlease don\u2019t look at me during my close-up, I am getting scared.\u201d Because the way she was performing it was so intense and powerful, I was genuinely shaken. Those are the kind of moments that stay with you.<\/p>\n
