Actress Priya Bapat has opened up about her traumatic experience after her mom's death, revealing how the loss has profoundly impacted her life and work.

The series seeks to foster empathy and spark conversations around topics often left unspoken. Priya reflected on the difficulties of portraying trauma while navigating her own grief. Talking about the same, she shared, "My character didn't have many words; it was all about feeling the trauma and expressing it. This became even more difficult because, by the time we went on the floor, I had lost my mother. ‘Zindaginama' was the first project I took on after her passing, so I could feel the pain and grief deeply. It was like I was living that moment. Being on set, I didn't plan or try to act - it just happened. I tried to be in the moment as honestly as possible."

Presented by Applause Entertainment and produced by AntiMatter, with conceptualization by Mpower, ‘Zindaginama' exemplifies the transformative power of storytelling.

The ensemble cast features Priya Bapat, Sweta Basu Prasad, Prajakta Koli, Yashaswini Dayama, Lilette Dubey, Shreyas Talpade, Anjali Patil, Sumeet Vyas, Ivanka Das, Mohammad Samad, Shivani Raghuvanshi, Sayandeep Sengupta, Tanmay Dhanania, and Shruti Seth. Each actor brings depth to their characters, enriching the emotional arcs of the stories. With six unique episodes, Bhanwar, Swagatam, One+One, Caged, Puppet Show, and Purple Duniya, ‘Zindaginama' offers audiences a window into the lives of individuals grappling with mental health challenges.
