Sheen Dass on Aami Dakini 'She’s more than Just a spirit'

Sony Entertainment Television is all set to thrill audiences once again with its upcoming fantasy series Aami Dakini. Known for its legacy of horror dramas like Aahat, the channel is diving deep into the realm of supernatural folklore, this time with a show that draws from ancient myths and fearsome tales rooted in Bengali culture. Set in the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of Kolkata, Aami Dakini promises an intense narrative, where emotion, revenge, and mystery intertwine.

Central to the story is the titular character Dakini, portrayed by the talented Sheen Dass. Taking on a role unlike anything she’s done before, Sheen is stepping into the shoes of a mythical being fueled by grief, betrayal, and vengeance. What makes this role unique is how Sheen has approached it—not just as a ghostly entity, but as a living, breathing curse.

Sheen shared her thoughts on the transformation process and how she immersed herself in the role. According to her, the vision was clear from the beginning: she didn’t want Dakini to be just another ghostly figure. Instead, she wanted to embody a force that invokes dread through presence and emotion. “Dakini isn’t scary just because of her appearance,” Sheen explained, “but because of the emotional depth and torment she carries.”

Sheen and the creative team worked meticulously on crafting the look and persona of Dakini. Her costume, makeup, body language, and even voice were developed to reflect a balance of elegance and eeriness. The aim was to present a character that visually captivates the viewer while emotionally unsettling them. The intricate costume design and subtle accessories are carefully chosen to reflect the sorrow and fury inside Dakini, making her more than just a supernatural character—she’s a legend brought to life.

This role marks a bold departure for Sheen Dass, known for her emotional and grounded performances in previous television dramas. With Aami Dakini, she ventures into darker, more intense storytelling, exploring the spiritual and supernatural. It’s a layered character, one that’s meant to stay with the audience long after the credits roll.

As the show nears its premiere, viewers can expect a visually rich and emotionally gripping tale. With a powerful performance at its core and a fresh take on Indian folklore, Aami Dakini is poised to become a must-watch series for fans of suspense, mythology, and drama.
