Mumbai: Ever since the release of Panchayat Season 4, one name has been trending across social media and entertainment circles Sanvikaa, who plays Rinki, the daughter of Pradhan Ji. Her charming portrayal and the blossoming romance with Sachiv Ji (Jitendra Kumar) have made her a household name and earned her the title of the “new national crush.”
Who Is Sanvikaa? A Journey from Jabalpur to Stardom
Sanvikaa hails from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Despite keeping her personal life largely private, she has shared that she holds an engineering degree. However, the world of cubicles and 9-to-5 jobs never appealed to her. Driven by her passion for acting, Sanvikaa made a bold move she told her parents she had a job in Bengaluru, but instead, she secretly shifted to Mumbai to chase her dreams in the entertainment industry.
Panchayat: The Breakthrough Role
Sanvikaa’s big break came with Panchayat, the hit Amazon Prime Video series. While her character Rinki had limited screen time in the first two seasons, Season 3 and especially Season 4 saw her emerge as a central figure, thanks to the much-anticipated and now widely discussed romantic storyline with Sachiv Ji. This love angle has resonated with fans, making her a sensation overnight.
Beyond Panchayat: Other Notable Works
Sanvikaa’s talent isn’t limited to just one show. She has also appeared in other OTT projects, including:
- Lakhan Leela Bhargava
- Hajamat
Her growing popularity is reflected in her social media presence with nearly 600,000 followers on Instagram though she interestingly follows no one in return.
The Viral Kissing Scene: What Really Happened?
One of the most talked-about moments from Panchayat Season 4 was the kissing scene between Rinki and Sachiv Ji. In a candid interview with Just Too Filmy, Sanvikaa revealed the behind-the-scenes story:
“Initially, when the narration was done, no one mentioned a kiss. Later, director Akshat told me about a scene where Sachiv Ji and Rinki would kiss in a car after she falls down. I asked for two days to think about it because Panchayat has a huge family audience, and I was worried about how people would react. I was also not comfortable, so I refused at that time. Eventually, they removed that scene but included a kiss in the tank scene instead.”
This openness about her comfort level and the creative process has only endeared her more to fans.
Sanvikaa: The New Face to Watch
With her natural acting, relatable charm, and bold career choices, Sanvikaa is poised for even greater heights in the Indian entertainment industry. As Panchayat continues to break records and win hearts, Rinki’s journey and Sanvikaa’s star power are just getting started.
