Known to essay antagonistic roles in various television serials for many years now, Jaya Bhattacharya has the knack of making viewers fall in love with her negative characters. The veteran actress has surely had a versatile journey in the television industry and has succeeded with an aim to constantly break the stereotypes surrounding her. Having played the mythological character of Kunti 11 years ago, the actress is now all set to pursue the character once again in &TV's Paramavatar Shri Krishna. While experimenting with varied roles might often be her choice, the actress wasn't even a bit hesitant to return to a strong and influential character essayed by her in the past and playing it all over again.

Essaying the role of a mother to the five Pandava brothers, Jaya was more than elated to make her comeback in mythology with the character of Kunti. "Kunti's story was left incomplete and unheard the last time I pursued the role. Returning to this character and once again bringing out her story is in itself a wonderful opportunity. I have always love essaying strong and bold characters and I believe Kunti to be such a mentally strong, powerful and complete character who believed very strongly in the spirit of brotherhood and raised her sons in a manner that they could conquer the world together. Moreover, there is a certain calmness associated with this character that doesn't require me as an actor to exaggerate. Depicting Kunti is like bringing out a natural side of myself," says Jaya.
