Rasika Dugal, known for her versatility, shared her thoughts on her role as Supriya, a student counselor in the boarding school, saying, "As an actor, I found it extremely interesting to explore the life of a person who is seemingly in complete control... only to realize, as the story unfolds, that no one is free from their inner demons. That's why I was thrilled that a character like Supriya came my way. In 'Adhura,' Supriya embarks on a complex and captivating journey, torn between her nurturing nature and a terrifying past she cannot escape. The series delves into the delicate balance between human compassion and the unknown forces lurking within. I'm glad to be back on Prime Video with a new genre, and I hope audiences will resonate with the humanity of this story while enjoying its spine-tingling nature."
