In India, countless dreamers from small towns aspire for a brighter future. While education, sports, and the arts open doors to these dreams, the journey to the big city often brings unforeseen challenges that test resilience.
Saru ’s world is deeply rooted in her village, a place she cherishes. But with no means to pursue higher education there, she is left with no choice but to step away from everything familiar and chase her aspirations in the city while battling her biggest obstacle: convincing her mother, who is firmly opposed to letting her go.
Joining the show alongside the talented Mohak Matkar as the spirited lead – Saru, and the dynamic Anushka Merchande as the formidable antagonist – Anika, is the charismatic Shagun Pandey as the male lead. He will step into the role of Ved Birla , a well-mannered, humble, and principled young man who commands respect as a lecturer in a college in Mumbai. He is deeply admired not only for his intellect and discipline but also for his unwavering sense of justice and compassion. A devoted son and a true pillar of support to his bhabhi, Ved shares a close bond rooted in friendship and trust with her. Guided by a strong moral compass, Ved never shies away from standing up for what is right, even when the odds are stacked against him.
Speaking about his excitement for the role, Shagun Pandey said, “It is an absolute honour to be a part of a show like Saru which carries such an inspiring and uplifting message. Working with the channel again and bringing Ved Birla to life is an exciting opportunity for me. The plot of Saru focuses on ambition and purpose , and I am thrilled to be bringing this narrative to the audiences.”
