Catch Shriya Pilgaonkar in Action as a Police Inspector in a ZEE5 original series, Chhal Kapat The Deception; streaming now!
Seven episodes. Twenty-five minutes each. Twists at every turn
National, 6th June 2025: The wait is over! ZEE5’s much-anticipated psychological thriller Chhal Kapat The Deception is now streaming — bringing with it secrets, suspense, and simmering drama. In a career-first, Shriya Pilgaonkar steps into the intense role of Police Inspector Devika Rathod — a sharp, intuitive investigator with a haunting past — in this genre-blending whodunnit directed by Ajay Bhuyan and produced by Juggernaut Productions.
Set in a remote village near Burhanpur, the story opens at an intimate wedding where bride-to-be Alisha reunites with her childhood friends Mehak, Ira, and Shalu. But the celebration is cut short when Shalu, a rising social media influencer, is found dead — turning the festivities into a chilling spiral of secrets, suspicion, and betrayal.
Each friend carries hidden scars and simmering resentments, and as the investigation deepens, every bond begins to fray. At the center of this chilling whodunnit is Inspector Devika (played by Shriya Pilgaonkar), a sharp, no-nonsense cop with a haunted past of her own. Devika isn’t your conventional investigator—her experience as a survivor of domestic abuse has forged a unique intuition that cuts through deceit. Her personal demons don’t weaken her — they sharpen her perspective, allowing her to see through lies others might overlook. As she digs into the tangled relationships and conflicting motives of the group, long-held secrets come to light, friendships unravel, and the line between loyalty and deception blurs.
Directed by Ajay Bhuyan, produced by Juggernaut Production, and led by the dynamic Shriya Pilgaonkar, this gripping whodunnit is streaming now, exclusively on ZEE5. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast including Kamya Ahlawat, Ragini Dwivedi, Tuhina Das, Yahhve Sharma, Pranay Pachauri, Smaran Sahu, and Anuj Sachdeva, the series promises a suspense-filled narrative packed with twists, secrets, and deception.
Shriya Pilgaonkar shared, “This project is incredibly close to my heart. Devika is not your typical cop — she’s emotionally complex, vulnerable, but razor-sharp. What drew me in was her ability to channel her own trauma into strength. It’s been one of my most rewarding roles yet, and I’m thrilled the show is finally live. It’s dark, emotional, and full of twists — a real rollercoaster for viewers.”
Anuj Sachdeva shared, “Working with this amazing cast and our partners at ZEE5 has been such a ride. The story is layered, fast-paced, and totally binge-worthy. It’s gripping but also a family entertainer — we can’t wait for viewers to dive in. What makes Chhal Kapat truly special is how it blends suspense with emotional complexity. Every character has a secret, every relationship has tension, and the twists just keep coming. As an actor, it’s rare to be part of a show that keeps you guessing even while you’re filming it. I’m proud of what we’ve created, and I hope audiences enjoy every unexpected turn along the way.”
