General entertainment channel Colors is set to kick off the new year with a love story, ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’. With a history of celebrating love with extraordinary narratives Colors continues to offer diverse content. 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.
The show has been produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, and premieres on January 3 every Monday to Friday at 9:30 pm.
Set in Rajasthan, ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’ unfolds the journey of Bulbul and Veer. Bulbul is a lively young girl who follows what her mother tells her to do. Veer, an honest IPS officer and a crusader against underage marriages, unknowingly marries Bulbul, not knowing that she is a minor.
Producer Shashi Mittal said, “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 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.”
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.”
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.”
