Pallavi Gowda as Daya
Pallavi Gowda played Daya, the central character of the Asianet serial. The story presents Daya as a courageous and compassionate woman living with her mother, Janaki.
Daya is known in her neighbourhood for standing up for others and intervening when people face difficulties. Her strong sense of justice leads her into conflicts ranging from everyday local problems to situations involving powerful people and authorities.
Her courage and willingness to confront injustice form an important part of the serial’s storyline.
Story of Asianet Serial Daya
The serial focuses on Daya and her mother Janaki. Janaki, a woman from a village, was promised marriage by Achuthan, a city-based businessman, but was later betrayed by him.
Against this family background, Daya grows into an independent and fearless woman. She earns the respect of people around her through her willingness to help others and challenge wrongdoing.
The story follows Daya as she encounters personal struggles, family conflicts and larger social issues. Her confrontations with influential people and even the police highlight the women-centric theme of the serial.
Daya Serial Characters
Apart from Daya, the story includes several characters connected to her family and the wider narrative.
Janaki, Achuthan, Ayanakkal Rappayi, Thressyama, Chetak, Chetana, Tahsildar Krishnakumar, Collector Rendeep and Chemberi Viswanathan MLA are among the characters featured in the serial.
These characters contribute to the family, administrative and social conflicts surrounding Daya’s journey.
Daya is the Malayalam Remake of Gorintaku
Daya was adapted from the Telugu television serial Gorintaku.
The original Telugu show featured Kavyashree, Nikhil Maliyakkal, Rithu Chowdary, Anju Asrani and Devisri Garu among its cast.
Endemol Shine India produced the Malayalam adaptation for Asianet. The production company had already been associated with Asianet through Bigg Boss Malayalam before working on Daya.
Daya Episodes on Disney+ Hotstar
During the original run of Daya, Asianet television programmes were digitally available through Disney+ Hotstar, where viewers could watch episodes online.
Disney+ Hotstar in India has since become JioHotstar. Therefore, references to Disney+ Hotstar in this older article reflect the streaming service available during Daya’s original telecast.
As this is an archival serial, the current availability of individual Daya episodes may differ from their availability during the original broadcast period.
