Taranjit Kaur on Shabad

Talking to mid-day about this show, she said, "In Shabad – Reet Aur Riwaaz, I play Manjot, the emotional backbone of the family, the one who holds everyone together. She is constantly caught in the conflict between the father and the  son: the father wants his son to carry forward the family tradition and become a Ragi, while the son dreams of becoming a footballer. Manjot stands in the middle, trying to protect both. She believes in allowing her children to follow their dreams, but she also understands the weight of tradition. Her journey is about finding balance, empathy, and courage in a home full of pressure, and expectation."
