Some voices don’t just perform—they awaken something in us. In Kupit Yagyasaini, a powerful poem by acclaimed writer Satish Srijan, that voice belongs to Vaishnavi Sharma. Her stirring recitation invites us into a moment of ancient pain and timeless strength—delivered with raw elegance and emotional depth.
This isn’t just another spoken word video. It’s poetry carried across generations, from a writer’s pen to a performer’s voice. And it lands exactly where it should—deep in the heart.
Draupadi’s Fury, Reimagined
Kupit Yagyasaini, or The Wrath of Yagyaseni, refers to Draupadi, the fiery princess of Panchala and wife of the Pandavas. Set during the infamous dice game scene in the Mahabharata, this piece explores the psychological and emotional terrain of Draupadi’s humiliation in the royal court—when she is staked like a possession, questioned, and stripped of her dignity in front of her elders, husbands, and enemies.
But Satish Srijan doesn’t just recount the scene. He offers a fresh poetic lens, capturing Draupadi’s rage—not as helpless lament but as sharpened protest. The poem explores the intersection of dignity, silence, injustice, and resistance, turning Draupadi into a voice not just of suffering, but of unstoppable inner power.
Srijan’s words are unflinching. They neither glorify nor soften the moment. Instead, they demand reflection—from the characters within the epic, and from the audience witnessing this familiar story in a new light.

Simple Visuals, Lasting Impact
The visual treatment of Kupit Yagyasaini is intentionally restrained, allowing Vaishnavi’s voice to stay front and center. There are subtle references to Draupadi and the Mahabharata, but the focus remains on the emotional journey. The understated imagery, paired with powerful audio, creates a quiet intensity that lingers long after the video ends.
This balance between form and feeling is what makes the experience so memorable—it doesn’t shout, yet it echoes.
A Multifaceted Talent
This performance is just one facet of Vaishnavi’s growing artistic journey. She recently appeared alongside Ashutosh Rana in Bharat Kaikeyi Swand, a moving poetic duet in which she portrayed Kaikeyi, the controversial mother of Bharat—played by Rana himself. The piece explored complex emotions of misunderstanding, motherhood, and redemption.
She also featured in Richa Sharma’s music video Mera Aasmaan, written by the gifted Aalok Shrivastav—a visually rich and emotionally layered song that showcased Vaishnavi’s screen presence and sensitivity.
Whether she’s performing poetry, acting in narrative pieces, or interpreting music through expression, Vaishnavi Sharma brings a calm strength and soulful intelligence that sets her apart.
A Performance That Leaves You Thinking
Kupit Yagyasaini is more than a poetic retelling — it’s an invitation to revisit the Mahabharata through a lens of reflection. With Satish Srijan’s powerful words and Vaishnavi Sharma’s stirring voice, Draupadi emerges not just as a character, but as a mirror — of strength, defiance, and timeless presence.
It’s a reminder that voices raised with truth never fade — they ripple through time, inspiring courage in every age.
