Mumbai: As the curtains fall on a remarkable year of impactful launches, COLORS is all set to kick off the new year with another exciting love saga, 'Mera Balam Thanedaar’. With a rich history of celebrating love with extraordinary narratives that bring societal change, stir emotions, and immortalize onscreen romantic pairs, COLORS continues its tradition of offering diverse content with this one-of-a-kind love story of two individuals, with opposite ideologies. The show stars Shagun Pandey and Shruti Choudhary as Veer Pratap Singh and Bulbul Rajawat respectively and traces the love story of a couple whose marriage is based on a lie that threatens to crumble the foundation of their relationship. Produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’ premieres on 3 January and airs every Monday to Friday at 9:30 pm only on COLORS.
Set in picturesque locations of Rajasthan, 'Mera Balam Thanedaar' unfolds the journey of Bulbul and Veer who are as disparate as day and night but have intertwined destinies. Bulbul is a lively young girl who follows what her mother tells her to do. She is underage but unaware of this fact completely. On the other hand, Veer, an honest IPS Officer, firmly opposes deceit in any form. Bulbul doesn’t know that her parents have concealed her true age. Meanwhile, Veer, a crusader against underage marriages, unknowingly marries Bulbul, not knowing that she is a minor. Will love blossom in this loveless marriage against the backdrop of deception and destiny?
Producer Shashi Mittal expressed, “We take immense pride in crafting impactful stories that resonate with a mass audience, reaching even the hinterlands of India. Our new show, 'Mera Balam Thanedaar,' unfolds a distinctive love story between Veer and Bulbul, set against the vibrant backdrop of Rajasthan. Shot in real locations like Mandawa, Pushkar, and Kishangarh, the show captures the local essence of these beautiful places, aiming to authentically bring the look and feel of real Rajasthan to the audience.”
Producer Sumeet Mittal further added, “The collaboration between our production house and COLORS has consistently produced incredible shows, and this show stands out among our previous ventures as it addresses the issue of underage marriage wherein Veer and Bulbul find themselves entangled in a marriage scam. We are confident that viewers will appreciate the refreshing storyline and on-screen chemistry between Shagun and Shruti.”
Sharing his thoughts on essaying the role of Veer Pratap Singh, Shagun Pandey said, "I am thrilled to step into the shoes of an honest IPS officer who stands firm against deceit. This role is exactly what I've been eagerly waiting for, and I am delighted to introduce Veer Pratap Singh to the audience - a man of principles. He is known for his opposition to underage marriages, but under tricky circumstances marries Bulbul without knowing that she is a minor. Having previously collaborated with COLORS, it's a pleasure to work with the brand again and I am hopeful that viewers will shower their love on my pairing with Shruti."
Set to be seen embodying the role of Bulbul, Shruti Choudhary said, “In my acting journey, I've enjoyed playing different roles and I’ve waited for a long time to spearhead a show. I’m excited that my dream came true, and I landed an opportunity to work with COLORS for this exciting show. This role is special because I get to embody a teenager who is thrust into the complexities of adulthood and marriage based on a lie. My focus would be to bring out her nuances of innocence, vulnerability, and courage with a sincere effort to create a portrayal that instantly forges a connection between the viewers and Bulbul's character.”
Will Veer and Bulbul restore the foundation of their marriage? Find out as ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’ premieres on the 3 January, airing every Monday to Friday at 9:30 pm only on COLORS.
