Prime Video’s upcoming series Raakh is set to bring audiences an emotionally charged mystery rooted in grief, loss and resilience. While the series unfolds around a gripping investigation, it ultimately focuses on the lives of people forever changed by a tragedy. One of the major highlights of the show is the performance by Sonali Bendre, who takes on a deeply layered and emotionally demanding role.
For Bendre, joining Raakh marked a return to intense dramatic storytelling after gravitating toward lighter narratives in recent years. The actress recently opened up about how the project challenged her emotionally while also giving her a valuable personal and professional insight.
Speaking about the experience of working on the series, Sonali Bendre said, “Over the last few years, I found myself naturally gravitating towards stories that felt lighter emotionally. So when Raakh came along, I did wonder what it would be like to spend so much time in such an intense emotional space. What surprised me was realising that I was able to engage with those emotions without carrying them home with me. As an actor, that was reassuring. It reminded me that you can go to difficult places in your work and still remain grounded in yourself.”
The actress also reflected on how the series changed her perspective on balancing emotional openness with personal boundaries. “This project made me rethink something I hadn't consciously examined before. I realised that protecting yourself as a person and being open as an actor are not mutually exclusive. Raakh allowed me to explore emotions that are uncomfortable and complex, while also trusting that I could step away from them when the work was done. That was an important discovery for me,” she added.
Raakh features Ali Fazal, Sonali Bendre and Aamir Bashir in key roles. The series is directed and executive produced by Prosit Roy, while Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket have created, written and co-directed the project. Produced by Endemol Shine India in association with BhaDiPa, Raakh is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on June 12. The series will be available in India as well as in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
