Rashami Desai is returning to television with Star Plus’ upcoming show Sayoneee, where she plays the powerful character of Maya. The actress says the project marks an important new chapter in her career and praised producers Sargun Mehta and Ravie Dubey for creating a working environment that feels like home.
Rashami Desai is set to make her television comeback with Sayoneee, Star Plus’ upcoming fiction show featuring Janhavi Soni and Gautam Singh Vig alongside the actress. The promos have already introduced viewers to a story involving Maya, Saanvi and a new relationship entering Saanvi’s life.
For Rashami, however, the show represents more than another acting assignment. The actress has described Sayoneee as an important turning point and said her experience, discipline and perspective toward work have changed over the years.

Speaking about her new phase, Rashami said that she continues to enjoy being on set but approaches her work with greater focus today.
“I love my job, I love my journey, and I love when I’m on the set. Of course, I’m more disciplined. I am more focused than before,” Rashami said.
The actress added that the experience she has gained throughout her career has given her a stronger understanding of the opportunities available to her.
According to Rashami, being more experienced has also made her feel that she can bring more to a character and perform with greater confidence.
Rashami Praises Sargun Mehta and Ravie Dubey
A major reason behind Rashami’s excitement about Sayoneee appears to be the creative team behind the project. The show is produced by Sargun Mehta and Ravie Dubey, with Uttam Bhelavat serving as director.
Rashami spoke warmly about the producers and said she was impressed by the work they are doing in television.
“Sargun and Ravi are doing amazing in television as producers,” she said, while also praising director Uttam Bhelavat.
The actress further highlighted the importance of people working behind the camera, pointing out that directors and production teams play a crucial role in determining how a show connects with its audience.
She described the creative team as an important part of the show’s identity and said working with people she considers talented and passionate made Sayoneee particularly appealing to her.
‘Working With Such Amazing Minds Will Be a Life-Changing Moment’
Rashami also explained why she decided to take up Sayoneee. Rather than viewing the project simply as a television comeback, she appears to see it as an opportunity to begin another meaningful phase of her career.
She said working with Sargun Mehta, Ravie Dubey and the show’s creative team felt like a potential “life-changing moment” for her.
The actress also suggested that she has become more thoughtful about the professional decisions she makes. While emotions continue to matter to her, she said she has never been someone who makes impulsive decisions about her career.
Her comments offer a glimpse into the mindset with which she is approaching this return to television: with greater experience, discipline and clarity about the kind of work she wants to be associated with.
Rashami Desai Plays Maya in Sayoneee
In Sayoneee, Rashami will be seen as Maya, a character that has already generated curiosity through the show’s promotional material.
Janhavi Soni plays Saanvi, while Gautam Singh Vig joins the story as a new saathi in Saanvi’s life. The promos suggest that the relationships between these central characters will drive much of the show’s narrative.
Rashami’s presence adds another layer of anticipation, particularly because Sayoneee marks her return to television fiction.
The actress has built a substantial television career over the years, and her latest role gives her an opportunity to explore a new character while working with a production team she has publicly praised.
When and Where to Watch Sayoneee
Sayoneee is scheduled to premiere on September 23, 2026, on Star Plus. The show will also stream on JioHotstar.
The series stars Rashami Desai, Janhavi Soni and Gautam Singh Vig in key roles and is directed by Uttam Bhelavat. With its new cast, relationship-driven storyline and Rashami’s television comeback, the show is among Star Plus’ upcoming fiction offerings.
For Rashami, the premiere marks the beginning of a new professional chapter—one she says has arrived at the right time in her journey.
