Satrangi Sasural!

Zee TV brings its viewers yet another story of hope, Satrangi Sasural that centres around Aarushi who marries Vihaan Narmada Vatsal, a man raised by not one, but seven very strong and independent mothers. The show that started yesterday, showcases Aarushi’s journey of deftly managing the expectations of her seven mothers-in- law, who only have Vihaan’s best interests at heart. 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.

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. The show is produced by 24 Frames spearheaded by Purnendu Shekhar, Nandita Mehra, Gajra Kottary and Bhairavi Raichura.
 
Talking about the show, Namit Sharma – Programming Head, Zee TV said, “Having launched differentiated content such as Jamai Raja and Kumkum Bhagya, the superhero series Maharakshak Aryan and Bandhan that explores a bond of sibling love between man and animal, we now bring our viewers Satrangi Sasural – a show that explores a unique scenario where the man of the house has been raised by seven mother figures – and is all set to marry a girl who must then stand up to the expectations of each of these doting mothers, adapt to this new environment and build relationships within the family. Written by Purnendu Shekhar, whose partnership with Zee, has produced gems like Astitva … Ek Prem Kahaani and Saat Phere,  the show has a stellar cast in place. So, we look forward to entertaining our viewers with yet another interesting story!”
 
With the mother-in-law defining the character of any sasuraal and shaping the contours of a bride’s everyday life, how will Arushi manage the challenge of making seven promises not only to Vihaan, but one to each of his seven mother figures as well…?
