Today, as Sakshi celebrates her 48th birthday, let’s look at the list of top performances of the actress…


Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii

Sakshi Tanwar ruled the small screens for eight years as Parvati Agarwal in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. It was one of the highest-rated shows, and for her performance in the TV serial, Sakshi won numerous awards.

Bade Achhe Lagte Hain

After Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii went off-air, Sakshi featured in a couple of shows as a supporting character. But in 2011, she made a smashing comeback with the show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. The serial aired for three years, and once again Sakshi took home many awards for her performance in it.

Dangal

Dangal was more about Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari. However, the character of Phogat’s wife, Daya Kaur was not sidelined. Sakshi played the role of Daya Kaur beautifully and had scenes that gave her the scope to shine.

Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat

After ruling the Television industry, and making a mark in Bollywood, Sakshi turned her ways towards OTT platforms. She made her digital debut with Alt Balaji’s series Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat. Three seasons of the series have already been released and Sakshi was simply wonderful in it.

Mission Over Mars

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
