Pavitra Punia reveals what she admires about Vishkanya in Tenali Rama: 'Her ability to manipulate situations…'

Sony SAB's Tenali Rama continues to enthral audiences with its engaging tales of the legendary court poet and strategist, portrayed masterfully by Krishna Bharadwaj. In this latest chapter, Tenali returns to Vijayanagar to defend it from a looming danger prophesied by Kali Maa (Barkha Bisht).

The cunning Girgit Raj (Sumit Kaul) has already revealed his malicious intent to bring destruction upon Vijayanagar by unleashing a rampaging elephant. However, his latest ally poses an even greater threat—Vishkanya Laila, played by Pavitra Punia. Disguised as a dancer, Laila arrives in Vijayanagar with a hidden agenda—seeking vengeance for past injustices. While her ultimate target is King Krishnadevaraya (Aditya Redij), her first strike leaves Timmarasu (Amit Pachori) gravely injured, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle of intellect and power. Teaming up with Girgit Raj, Laila's presence threatens to destabilize the very foundations of the kingdom.

Pavitra Punia, playing the role of Vishkanya in Tenali Rama said, "Stepping into the role of Vishkanya Laila is an exciting challenge for me. She is a character filled with mystery, charm, and a burning desire for vengeance. What makes her truly compelling is her ability to manipulate situations while maintaining a facade of grace. Tenali Rama has always been a show rich in storytelling and historical intrigue, and Laila's presence will add a whole new dimension to it. Audiences can expect intense drama, unexpected twists, and a powerful conflict that will test the wits of the kingdom's greatest minds. I'm thrilled to be a part of this iconic journey and can't wait for viewers to experience this new chapter."
