Saanvie Tallwar Talks About ‘Khamosh Aahatein’ and Her Co-Star Raqesh Bapat!
Saanvie Tallwar has built a career across Indian television with shows like Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum, O Gujariya: Badlein Chal Duniya, Chandra Nandini, Sufiyana Pyaar Mera, Ali Baba, and Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav. Her latest project is the web series Khamosh Aahatein, which released on Friday (July 10).
The show is unlike anything she has done before. She said, “Khamosh Aahatein is a psychological horror thriller that blends suspense, emotions, and the supernatural in a very gripping way. What makes it even more special is that while the primary cast is from India, the supporting cast includes talented actors from Pakistan and Dubai, giving the project a unique collaborative feel.”
Saanvie plays the central character. She said, “I play Ria, the central character around whom the entire story unfolds. She’s a devoted mother, a loving wife, and a caring sister who believes that family is her greatest strength.* She’s compassionate, resilient, and will go to any extent to protect the people she loves.”
The story takes a dark turn early on. She said, “Her life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes trapped in a mysterious Chakravyuh curse, where every promise demands a sacrifice. From that moment on, Ria’s world changes completely, and the audience experiences every twist, emotion, and revelation through her journey.”
The role tested her range in ways she hadn’t experienced before. She said, “Playing a character who carries the emotional and psychological weight of the entire story was both challenging and incredibly fulfilling. It gave me the opportunity to explore so many different shades of one character. Those constant transitions made Ria one of the most challenging and rewarding characters I’ve portrayed.”
The series was shot entirely in Dubai. Saanvie said, “We shot the entire series across different locations in Dubai, including the streets and various hotels.* It was a wonderful experience, and shooting in such diverse locations made the journey even more memorable for me.”
On what she’s looking for next, she is clear about priorities. She said, “I’m open to exploring all kinds of roles as long as they challenge me as an actor. For me, it’s always about quality over quantity. I’m looking for meaningful characters with depth, roles that have a purpose, allow me to grow, and leave a lasting impact on the audience. Whether it’s a film, an OTT series, or any other medium, what matters most to me is a well-written story and a character I can truly connect with.”
If acting hadn’t happened, the path would have stayed in storytelling. She said, “If I hadn’t become an actor, I think I would have been a writer. In fact, I started my career as a writer and had the opportunity to write for a few established television shows.”
“Ever since I was a child, writing and singing have been two of my biggest passions. Even today, writing is something I’m deeply connected to. It’s another form of storytelling that I truly enjoy and one that will always be close to my heart,” Saanvie ended.
