Samiksha Jaiswal has always stood out in positive roles, but her turn as Gayatri Vajpayee in COLORS’ ‘Ram Bhavan’ is striking a darker chord. Fierce, layered, and driven by the desire to control, Gayatri isn’t just the eldest bahu anymore—she’s the master manipulator playing a high-stakes game to secure her dominion over the sprawling bungalow. Ever since Om and Isha’s wedding, the power dynamics in Ram Bhavan have shifted. Om and Isha’s marriage may have been unexpected, but it has quietly shifted the power dynamics in Ram Bhavan—enough to rattle Gayatri’s long-standing control.
As Isha begins to speak up and support Om, even stepping out to work and contribute financially, Gayatri sees her grip loosening. In a counterattack, she responds with ruthless moves and calculated sabotage. From trying to throw Isha out of her job, to publicly exposing Om’s jugaadu job story, and even spiking his drink at a party to humiliate them both—Gayatri is pulling out all stops. For her, regaining control of Ram Bhavan means destroying the bond between Om and Isha before it grows too strong.
Talking about this fiercer turn, Samiksha Jaiswal shares, “Gayatri has never played nice—but after Om and Isha’s wedding, it’s personal. She’s more aggressive, more ruthless, and honestly, more dangerous. The power dynamics in Ram Bhavan are shifting, and Gayatri can feel it slipping through her fingers. That desperation, that need to stay in control—it’s making her strike harder and faster. I’ve always played her with a certain intensity, but now it’s gone up several notches. From calculated sabotage to full-blown humiliation tactics—she’s doing whatever it takes. And as an actor, this is the most fun I’ve had. If people are hating Gayatri right now, that’s perfect—it means she’s getting under their skin. That’s exactly where she wants to be.”
In the current track, after exposing Om’s secret and causing a scene at their congratulatory party, Gayatri believes she’s succeeded in tearing them apart. But Om apologizes to Isha and promises to earn her trust by studying for the government exam. With Isha now coaching him, Gayatri’s plans may soon face unexpected resistance.
