Women’s Day Special: Your Favourite Zee TV Bahu/Beti Re-imagined As An Indian Goddess

Under Hinduism, shakti is the universal energy that arises from divine feminine power. It is further said to have taken various forms, and represented by goddesses. Different goddesses symbolize various sentiments and beliefs, similar to our Zee TV bahus and betis. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we have rounded up a list of five characters from various shows, re-imagined as demi-goddesses depending on their on-screen performance.

Pragya Arora from Kumkum Bhagya, for instance, is like Goddess Parvati. Pragya, we feel is like Goddess Parvati – gentle, maternal and benevolent. She protects her husband Abhi, Kiara and the rest of her family from all dangers just like Parvati is protective of Lord Shiva.

The Goddess of materialistic and spiritual wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi also symbolizes consciousness and truth. These qualities are the mainstay of Dr. Preeta Arora from Kundali Bhagya show. Preeta is honest, smart and extremely talented in her profession! 

It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi stands for four goals in the life of a human: dharma (order), moksha (self-realization), kama (pleasure, desire), and artha (meaning, goal).

Goddess Kali represents power, creation, destruction and preservation. She battles the forces of evil and also fights ego. She dissolves all things bad into her darkness. Similarly, Zara Kabeer Ahmed from Ishq Subhan Allah too takes a stand against what is wrong and doesn’t back down from fighting even her own.
