Sonakshi Batra reacts to fans organising ‘Kelvan’ for her ahead of Jagadhatri and Shivaay’s wedding, says “This touched my heart”

Jagadhatri has become the topic of discussion today as everyone is waiting for the wedding ceremony of Shivaay (Farman Haider) and Jagadhatri (Sonakshi Batra). In the recent episodes of the show, we have seen that the Deshmukh and Naik families have gathered together for the wedding preparations.

But it is not only the family members on the show who are celebrating the marriage of these two characters; even the fans are actively taking part in the celebrations due to their love for the couple.Ahead of the grand wedding, Sonakshi Batra, who essays the role of Jagadhatri, received a beautiful surprise from her fans, who invited her to their home and organised a traditional Kelvan for her. Kelvan is a cherished Maharashtrian pre-wedding ritual in which the bride or groom is welcomed with an aarti and blessings, treated to a delicious home-cooked feast prepared with love, and showered with gifts and good wishes before embarking on a new phase of life.

The heartfelt gesture left Sonakshi overwhelmed, making her realise once again how deeply audiences have connected not only with Jagadhatri but also with her personally.Sonakshi Batra aka Jagadhatri said, “With Shivaay and Jagadhatri’s wedding coming up in the show, I received such a beautiful surprise from my fans and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for anything more special. They arranged a Kelvan for me, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences for me.

What made it even more emotional was the conversations I had with them. One of the fans told me, ‘You don’t have a maasi, so today I am becoming your maasi and doing this Kelvan for you.

’ Another one told me, ‘I don’t have a daughter, but you are like my daughter.’ Hearing things like this genuinely touched my heart. In that moment, it didn’t feel like I was meeting fans it felt like I was with family. That warmth, affection and sense of belonging is something I will never forget.

We often say that television is not just about stories and characters, but moments like these make you truly realise how deeply audiences connect with what they watch and how much love they carry for the people they see on screen. Getting a Kelvan from fans was something I had never imagined."She added, "They welcomed me with so much warmth, they did teeka, aarti, there was delicious Maharashtrian food prepared with love, and they even gave me gifts.

Through Jagadhatri, I have received so much love, and experiences like these make me feel extremely grateful. Kelvan is such a beautiful Maharashtrian pre-wedding ritual and honestly, I got to learn so much about Maharashtrian traditions through this show.

Getting to experience this ritual in real life made it even more memorable for me. But what really touched my heart was the effort involved. It’s very touching to know that people not only love Jagadhatri but also me. This is something I will always treasure.”
