Neena Gupta talks about how her role as Manju Devi in Panchayat has evolved
Neena recently expressed how her role as Manju Devi in Panchayat has evolved and grew from the start. The actress explained, “My growth with Panchayat really began in Season 1, especially during the flag hoisting scene— that was Manju Devi’s turning point. In most villages, women are often okay with not knowing or learning certain things, but what I loved about my character was that she decided to break that pattern. She slowly became more firm, more curious, and eventually more independent. And that kind of change doesn’t happen overnight— in real life, it’s a slow process. It’s a fact that the concept of Pradhanpati still exists in many parts of our country. Through this series, I’m so glad we could show that if women want to take charge and lead, they absolutely can.”
Panchayat returns with season 4
The acclaimed ensemble cast, which includes Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha, is returning with the new season.
