Sayoneee premiere: Rashami Desai, Janhavi Soni, Gautam Singh Vig excited ahead of launch

Premiere details and cast reactions

Sayoneee, produced by Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey’s Dreamiyata Entertainment, premieres tonight, September 23, at 7:30 PM on Star Plus and JioHotstar. Rashami Desai plays Maya, Janhavi Soni is Saanvi, and Gautam Singh Vig portrays Aditya in key roles.

Rashami Desai described Maya as more than a character: “Maya is not just a character or an imagination. She is a very practical character that I am going to play in Sayoneee. And as an actor, I wouldn’t deny that I received many offers, but I turned them down because I didn’t feel connected to the stories or the characters that were coming my way. Every artist wants to play a character that is beautifully written. I wasn’t looking for a comeback on television; I was looking for a purpose. Sargun and Ravi are doing amazing in television as producers, Uttam Bhelavat is an amazing director. Sometimes we don’t know people who are working behind the camera, but they are the ones who will actually help you to reach out to the right audiences and all. Good, I waited for long, and, you know, it’s good to be honest to your emotions also, kyunki impulsive decisions I have never taken.”

Janhavi Soni adds, “Saanvi is warm and nurturing, but her kindness should never be mistaken for weakness. She has the courage to stand up for what she believes is right and keeps her promises even when they come at a personal cost. Working with Rashami ma’am has made this journey even more special. She is incredibly warm and generous as a co-actor, and through Sayoneee, I have also found a wonderful friend in her.”

Gautam Singh Vig says, “Is Aditya Saanvi’s hero? No, he is not her hero; he is her Sayoneee. A hero tries to fight your battles for you, while a Sayoneee simply stands by you as you win them yourself. Aditya respects Saanvi’s choices and gives her the space to find her own answers. His love is steady, secure and rooted in equality, and that is what makes him a true ally and a green flag.”

Sayoneee follows Saanvi’s journey as she searches for the mother’s love she has always longed for, while Aditya becomes a supportive presence as she finds the confidence to face her own battles. Rashami Desai’s Maya forms another important part of the story.

The premiere is part of Dreamiyata Entertainment’s project slate with Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey at the helm, and it airs tonight on Star Plus and JioHotstar.
