Tejasswi Prakash takes a break from TV: A look back at her iconic roles from Swaragini to Naagin 6

As Tejasswi Prakash takes a break from television, it’s a great time to look back at her impressive work on the small screen. Tejasswi started her acting career in soap operas and quickly won over audiences with her captivating personality on reality shows. Recently, she revealed in an interview that she is stepping away from TV to explore other opportunities, possibly in Bollywood or on OTT platforms. While we eagerly await her next project, let’s revisit some of her best work on television so far.

In 2015, Tejasswi showcased her versatility by playing the character of Ragini. Initially, Ragini was portrayed as a sweet girl, but she later became the antagonist, engaging in lots of plotting and scheming. Eventually, her character had a change of heart and became the protagonist again. The complexity of her role was both confusing and fascinating for viewers.

After the controversial show Pehredaar Piya Ki went off air, Tejasswi returned to the screen as Diya Singh in Rishta Likhenge Hum Naya. The show told the story of a 30-year-old Rajput woman who sacrificed 12 years of her life to protect a 21-year-old heir to the throne, played by Rohit Suchanti. Audiences praised Tejasswi for her brave and fresh character portrayal.

Tejasswi made her reality show debut with Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10. Her bubbly personality, playful interactions with host Rohit Shetty, and impressive stunt performances captivated fans. Unfortunately, Tejasswi had to leave the show due to an eye injury, which saddened many viewers as she was one of the strongest contenders.

Tejasswi's entry into Bigg Boss 15 sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some viewers loved her personality and her budding romance with Karan Kundrra, others trolled her for her conflicts with Shamita Shetty. Despite the divided opinions, Tejasswi not only found love on the show but also emerged as the winner of Salman Khan’s popular reality show.

Even before leaving the Bigg Boss 15 house, Tejasswi landed the lead role in Ekta Kapoor’s Naagin 6. In this highly successful supernatural thriller series, she played multiple roles including Pratha, Pratha’s daughter Prathna, and Prathna reborn as Pragati. For a while, she also portrayed NRI Kiara Sharma, earning widespread acclaim.

After establishing herself on television, Tejasswi ventured into Marathi cinema with films like Mann Kasturi Re (2022) and School College Ani Life (2023). As she explores new mediums, fans eagerly anticipate seeing her shine again.
