Abhinetri (The Actress) | Genre: Supernatural Thriller | Series: Aahat (Season 1) Episodes 78 & 79 available in Sony Liv.
Mumbai, 1995. The film industry buzzes with whispers about Sujata Devi—a legendary actress from the 1960s who, astonishingly, looks no older than 30. Her timeless beauty defies logic. No wrinkles, no signs of aging. Journalists speculate plastic surgery, secret diets, even black magic. But the truth is far more chilling.
🕉️ The Temple Encounter
Flashback to 1963. A young Sujata, desperate for fame, visits a remote temple nestled in the Western Ghats. There, she meets a mysterious ascetic who offers her a necklace with a cryptic warning:
“Wear this, and youth shall be yours. But remove it each night, or death will claim you.”
Sujata accepts the gift, unaware of the price she’ll pay.
🧕 The Dual Life
For decades, Sujata lives a double life. By day, she dazzles the world with her youthful charm. By night, she locks herself away, removing the necklace and transforming into her true aged self. No one is allowed near her after sunset—not staff, not friends, not lovers.
Her mansion becomes a fortress of secrecy. Mirrors are covered. Lights dimmed. The actress becomes a prisoner of her own vanity.
🕵️♂️ The Journalist’s Obsession
Enter Vikram, a young investigative journalist. Intrigued by Sujata’s agelessness, he begins digging into her past. He uncovers inconsistencies—missing medical records, vanished staff, and rumors of occult rituals.
One night, Vikram sneaks into her mansion and witnesses the transformation. Horrified yet fascinated, he confronts her the next day.
Sujata pleads with him to keep her secret. But Vikram, torn between ethics and ambition, leaks the story.
⚰️ The Necklace Betrayal
As the media frenzy erupts, Sujata’s world collapses. Paparazzi swarm her home. In the chaos, a former housemaid named Kamla, who had long suspected Sujata’s secret, sneaks into her bedroom during the day—something no one had dared to do before. Hidden behind the curtains, Kamla watches Sujata doze off, still wearing the necklace.
Driven by greed and curiosity, Kamla steals the necklace, believing it holds the key to eternal youth. She escapes unnoticed, but the theft sets off a chain reaction.
That evening, Sujata awakens and reaches for the necklace—only to find it gone. Panic grips her. Her skin begins to sag, her bones ache, and her reflection reveals the truth she’s hidden for decades. She tries to retrieve the necklace, but Kamla has vanished.
Without it, Sujata begins to age rapidly. Her body weakens. Her mind fractures. She returns to the temple in desperation—but the ascetic is gone. Only echoes remain.
🕯️ Epilogue
Sujata Devi is found dead in her mansion, her face aged beyond recognition. The necklace is never recovered. Some say it still holds its power, waiting for the next desperate soul.
