The gorgeous Drashti Dhami from Zee TV's 'Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani' has impressed her fans with her flawless performance as Gayatri.

She entered as the dreamy-eyed girl next door, later emerged as a queen in the show, but now as her track comes to an end with the death of her character in a fiery mortal combat, she is all geared up to amaze her ardent fans with her new warrior look as Jhansi Ki Rani.

With betrayal, death and revelations galore, the past one week has been action-packed on Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani and in the upcoming episodes Gayatri who is learning martial arts, getting trained in horse riding and sword fighting for her biggest fight with the evil Kaal (Chetan Hansraj) and Badi Rani Maa (Surekha Sikri) will be seen stepping out in disguise and blending with the warriors as Jhansi Ki Rani to save her kingdom and avenge the assassination of her husband, Ranaji (Siddhant Karnick).

Drashti says, "I'm kicked that my parting shot on Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani is a fiery one. The scene has me engaging in a mortal combat with the ferocious Kaal and it is a fight to the finish. While she succumbs eventually, Gayatri gives Kaal a run for his money with her persistence, grit, and valor. She is in a do-or-die zone, locking horns with the enemy along with her child on her back. The visual is very reminiscent of Jhansi Ki Rani. Needless to say, it was a task to manage the fight scene with a child on my back. I had to be extremely careful during this scene. It was difficult, but I loved doing it.

As an actor, I try to do varied roles, such that audiences get a flavor of different aspects of my personality as an artist. In this role of Gayatri, I have had the opportunity to enact a number of interesting avatars - One of a girl next door to a queen to a dusky village belle and now a passionate warrior. I hope viewers will like this avatar too."

The coming week on Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani will leave you on the edge of your seats with developments that will turn the world of the show upside down. With Kaal having killed Ranaji in Swarna's marriage, Gayatri and Raj Mata manage to escape with Ranaji's body. Gayatri will give birth to Ranaji's daughter while she raises an army to fight back the evil Kaal and get her Kingdom of Amerkot back. In what will be a high-voltage sequence bound to give you goose-bumps, Gayatri will charge away at the enemy with her daughter on her back.

The show will see the entry of the next generation and the war between good and evil will continue. Will Ranaji and Gayatri's daughter avenge her parents' death in the coming years?

Let's wait and watch!
