Ishq Jabariya actress Kamya Panjabi on Women's Day: Women don’t need just one day of appreciation, we deserve it every day

Women’s Day isn’t just a celebration; it’s a reminder of strength, resilience, and the power of womanhood. Kamya Panjabi, who mesmerizes audiences as the fierce Mohini in Sun Neo’s much-loved Ishq Jabariya, opened up about what the day means to her. Known as one of the strongest women in the television industry, Kamya shared her experiences of portraying powerful female characters on screen and revealed who inspires her in real life.

Kamya shared, "For me, every day is Women’s Day! I don’t wait for a special date to celebrate my life, my mother, my daughter, my friends, or the incredible women of this country. Women don’t need just one day of appreciation—we deserve it every single day. I hope more people understand this. Instead of limiting our recognition to just one date on the calendar, let’s celebrate women every day for their strength, sacrifices, and contributions in every role—whether as mothers, daughters, wives, or professionals. It’s not about making grand preparations; it’s about changing our mindset and truly valuing the women in our lives."

Opening up about the women who inspire her the most in life, the Ishq Jabariya actress expressed, "You know, it might sound surprising, but my biggest inspiration comes from my two younger sisters, Mala and Madhu. There were moments in my life when I felt lost, when expectations weighed me down, but they were always there—lifting me up, standing by me like a rock. Despite being younger, they have inspired me in ways I can’t even explain. Their strength, resilience, and unwavering support have shaped me into who I am today. They may be my little sisters, but in so many ways, they are my guiding force."

Kamya has won millions of hearts with her powerful onscreen portrayals. Talking about the same, she said, "I have always played strong female characters—whether it was Sindura, Preeto, Didun, or now Mohini in Sun Neo's Ishq Jabariya. Maybe that’s because, in real life too, I am headstrong, determined, and never one to give up. Television, after all, belongs to women! Let’s be honest—women rule the industry. Yes, there are many amazing male actors, but at its core, television is driven by strong female characters who connect deeply with audiences. And I am forever grateful for all the love people have given to my characters. So, on this Women’s Day, let’s not just talk about opportunities and struggles—everyone has their own journey. Let’s simply celebrate women for who they are."

Kamya currently plays the role of Mohini in Sun Neo's Ishq Jabariya, airing on at 10:00 PM. The show is a compelling love story that follows Gulki, a strong-willed young woman with big dreams. With a stellar cast  also featuring Dipshikkha Nagpal, Siddhi Sharma, and Lakshay Khurana, the show brings emotion and depth to its captivating narrative.
