"Kaikeyi is one of the most layered and powerful characters I’ve played in my 18-year journey. – Hunar Hali Gandhi"

Mumbai, June 14

Actress Hunar Hali Gandhi has been garnering a lot of praise as Queen Kaikeyi in the mythological drama "Veer Hanuman".

She portrays a layered character donning multiple hats - a fierce warrior queen, a devoted wife, and a deeply loving mother. Her strong screen presence adds to the charm of the character.

Shedding light on her role as Kaikeyi on the show, Hunar said, "I’m incredibly grateful to God that I got this opportunity for this role. Kaikeyi is one of the most layered and powerful characters I’ve played in my 18-year journey. She’s not just the queen people think they know—she’s a fiery warrior, a devoted mother, and a woman whose decisions are driven by fierce love and duty. It was an instant yes for the show."

Speaking of the challenges that came her way, Hunar added, "The shoot can be challenging, but the energy on set is incredible. We laugh, we learn, and we push each other to give our best. This role has not only given me artistic satisfaction but also reminded me of the importance of balance between family and career, emotion and duty."

The diva revealed that her role as Kaikeyi has not only given her artistic satisfaction but has also reminded her of the importance of balancing between family and career.

During her tenure as an actress, Hunar has been a part of many television shows such as "Grihasti", "12/24 Karol Bagh", "Sasural Genda Phool", "Chhal – Sheh Aur Maat", "Thapki Pyaar Ki", "Patiala Babes", and "Gauna – Ek Pratha", to name a few.

Aside from her, the core cast of the show further includes Mahir Pandhi as Bali and Sugreev, Arav Chowdharry as Kesari, Sayli Salunkhe as Anjani, and Aan Tiwari as Bal Hanuman.

"Veer Hanuman" airs every Monday to Saturday at 7.30 PM, on Sony SAB.

Hunar is doing such a brilliant job as Kaikeyi! 👏 Finally someone showing the complexity of her character beyond just being "the villain" of Ramayana. Our mythological women deserve this nuanced treatment. Can't wait to see more episodes!

While I appreciate the acting, I'm not sure about glorifying Kaikeyi's character too much. Some decisions can't be justified just because they came from maternal love. The show should be careful with historical accuracy.

My whole family watches this show together! Hunar's performance is so powerful that even my grandmother who usually criticizes TV serials is hooked. The way she balances strength and vulnerability is just wow ✨

Good to see mythological shows getting better production values these days. But I hope they don't drag the story too much like other daily soaps. Hunar is definitely the highlight though - her screen presence is magnetic!

As someone who grew up watching Hunar in Sasural Genda Phool, it's amazing to see her range! From comedy to intense drama - she's proving her versatility yet again. More power to her! 💪

The show is good but I wish they'd focus more on Hanuman's journey rather than spending so much time on side characters. That said, Hunar's performance is undeniably strong - she makes you feel for Kaikeyi even when you disagree with her.
