With this show we hope to break the gender stereotypes and showcase that no job is menial. It’s not how much you earn, but your commitment to your work and ethics you follow define how far one walks on the journey of fulfilment. The show will not only highlight the hardships of Saavi, but it will also narrate a beautiful love story of Saavi and Nityam. We are eagerly waiting for the viewers to enjoy the show on 22nd August.”

She is a self-made girl who faces all her challenges with a smile and takes pride in driving an auto-rickshaw to support her family. With evolving times, women today are breaking the stereotypes by stepping into challenging roles, and hence I am certain that viewers will relate to Saavi and her beautiful story. I am grateful to be a part of the COLORS family and looking forward to this exciting new journey.”
Portraying Nityam’s character, Farman Haider says, “Nityam is a suave businessman, who has a charming personality. He is a headstrong person who always chases his goals and only confides in his mother. This show will trace an interesting contrast between him and Saavi who are destined to meet and discover love together. Samridhii aka Saavi is a vivacious and extremely passionate actor to work with, I am already having a great time working with her on this show! We hope our show will bring a smile to everyone’s faces as we begin this wonderful journey.”
