Saga of seven mom-in-laws

It’s show time: A still from Satrangi Sasural

The channel, Zee TV brings its viewers a brand new story titled, Satrangi Sasural. The show centers around Aarushi, who marries Vihaan Narmada Vatsal, a man raised by not one, but seven very strong and independent mothers. The sensitive depiction of the unique dynamics between a bahu and her seven mothers-in-law, is the first-of-its-kind on Indian television.

Based in Delhi, the Vastals are a unique family that represent a cross-section of India’s vibrant culture as each of the mothers hail from diverse backgrounds and have their own individual personalities. While Dadi Maa influences Vihaan in terms of having a mature point of view while tackling the problems of life, Narmada Maa, his biological mother, is his emotional anchor and coaches him on being sensitive to others. Bua Maa inculcates in him an intrinsic strength and the ability to stand up for what is right. Chachi Maa takes care of his diet and ensures he’s eating right at all times. Mini Maa, being the fitness enthusiast she is, looks into his health and well-being. Tai Maa is his spiritual anchor, teaching him to stay connected with God and Maasi Maa is his intellectual guide who ensures that he excels in his career. How will his wife Aarushi, who hails from a nuclear family of modest means, where she is the sole bread winner, adapt to a joint family with seven mother figures? Only time will tell!

One of the most challenging aspects of the show was to arrive at its casting as each of these mother figures called for actors of a certain caliber and maturity to portray the nuances effortlessly. The ensemble star cast includes some of the most iconic faces of Indian television. Veteran actor Farida Jalal returns to the small screen as Vihaan’s grandmother who binds them all together! Powerhouse performers like Bhavana Balsaver, Sadia Siddiqui, Resham Tipnis, Sheetal Thakkar, Sonali Sachdev and Samta Sagar have stepped in to play the other mothers. Satrangi Sasural has Ravish Desai as the male lead protagonist – Vihaan, opposite Mugdha Chaphekar who essays the role of Aarushi.

Starting 3rd December, catch Vihaan & Aarushi as they embark on their journey of love on ‘Satrangi Sasural’, every Monday to Friday at 10 PM, only on ZEE TV!
