Sneha Wagh On Her Role In Mahadev & Sons: ‘Vidya Is A Mixture Of All the Mothers’

Sneha Wagh, who is best known for her role in drama series Jyoti and Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera, has returned to television with Colors TV’s new serial Mahadev & Sons. The actress plays the role of Vidya Bajpai, who is the wife of Mahadev, played by Shakti Anand.

Mahadev & Sons first aired on January 5, and within days, Sneha won over audiences with her portrayal of a woman driven by kindness rather than control. Now Sneha opened up about her character and called it “a mixture of all the mothers I have observed in my life.”

Sneha Wagh Speaks About Her Character In Mahadev & Sons

In an interview with Filmibeat, speaking about her character Sneha shared, “Sneha Vidya is the emotional backbone of Mahadev & Sons. She doesn’t dominate spaces or assert

authority loudly, yet her presence runs through every relationship in the house. She understands something very profound – that anything in excess, even love, can slowly turn into poison. That’s why she doesn’t resent her sister Bhanu for the grudge she holds against her husband. She knows that it comes from a place of love turned bitter. That awareness makes her measured, empathetic, and grounded.”

She added, “She chooses balance over reaction, compassion over control – that is her soft power. She had the courage to stand up for her love when it mattered, even when it meant losing her home, her family, her surname, and her inheritance. She believes in love, but she also understands its responsibility. Her conviction continues to guide her every decision.”

When asked about Vidya’s world and what defines her happiness, Sneha shared, “Vidya’s universe begins and ends with her husband and her children. For her, happiness is simple – a shared meal, a peaceful home, children who feel emotionally safe. She lives a life stripped of excess, and that reflects in her appearance, too. Slipping into Vidya’s look is instinctive for me – just a sari, mangalsutra, bangles, and a bindi.”

Sneha Wagh’s Preparation For Vidya

Sneha revealed that her portrayal of Vidya was inspired by the mothers she has seen around her.

She said, “Vidya is a mixture of all the mothers I have observed in my life. These are women who love fiercely, absorb pain silently, soften conflicts, and hold families together with grace. These qualities are rooted in Indian households, which is why Vidya feels so real. The love audiences have shown for her has been incredibly fulfilling; it tells me they recognise her. Vidya represents countless women who run households without applause or acknowledgement. She is gentle, but never weak; emotional, but never fragile. Her strength lies in loving and protecting her family without controlling them.”

Mahadev And Sons airs every Monday to Friday on Colors TV at 9:30 pm.
