Shubhaarambh

Shubhaarambh: A single shoe is meaningless without its pair, just like a perfect stitch requires a sui and a dhaaga or an earing that loses significance without its other half. These things not just complement each other but are perfect together! Just like Raja (played by Akshit Sukhija) and Rani (played by Mahima Makwana).

Situated in a small town of Gujarat, Raja and Rani come from opposite backgrounds; while Raja is born in the lap of luxury, Rani leads a humble life. All is well until a tragedy hits Raja’s family when he loses his father and is left at the behest of his paternal uncle and aunt. At a young age, Raja is made to take responsibility for his entire family on his shoulders and support his mother. Apart from taking care of his father’s suiting and shirting business, Raja looks after his entire family and leads a life by their principles. But the only thing that is missing in his life is ambition and he doesn’t realise it until Rani enters his life. Rani, on the other hand is a flamboyant girl who belongs to a humble family. Her father is an alcoholic while her mother pulls out all the strings to make ends meet. Such adverse conditions never dampened Rani’s self-confidence and her eyes are always full of dreams. But whenever she tries to take a big step towards the betterment of her own and family’s future, everyday challenges anchor her steps to the ground. Until she meets Raja and rediscovers her inner strength. An eager beaver Rani ignites the spark in the otherwise directionless Raja and together they create magic and do a Shubhaarambh for this new life.

Vidya

Vidya Colorstv- A for Apil, B for Baal, C for Cau! Though it sounds strange and amusing, this is what Vidya will teach in her ‘Englisss’ class. Contrary to her name, Vidya is an illiterate army widow who gets a compensatory government job as an English teacher. But while it is an unfamiliar language to her, she gathers all the courage and strength to teach English, incorrectly at first but gradually learns and overshadows her weakness.

 

Set against Devgarh, a small village in Uttar Pradesh, the show brings to fore Vidya’s apprehensions and struggles as she steps into the role of a school teacher to financially support her family after her husband’s demise. In the process, she has an encounter with the Pradhan of the village (played by Waqar Sheikh) who poses as a big hindrance in her outing. As she goes along in her journey, Vidya discovers many loopholes in her school and the overarching education system. There is only one person, district magistrate Vivek Vardhan Singh (played by Namish Taneja), who recognizes Vidya’s efforts and acts as her support. Ultimately, she not only ends up winning over her personal struggles but also pins down the people plaguing the education system. As life throws curveballs at her, Vidya keeps overcoming them with her spirit and wit while entertaining the audience along the way.

 

Speaking about the launch (Vidya colorstv), Nina Jaipuria, Head, Hindi Mass Entertainment and Kids TV network Viacom18, said, “COLORS has been a pioneer in presenting strong and socially relevant concepts that have changed the entertainment landscape of our country. Along with unique storylines, we have successfully created characters which have left an everlasting mark on the minds of the Indian audience. With Vidya, our attempt is to give viewers, yet another relatable character, who will entertain them with her interesting nuances and idiosyncrasies. Vidya’s journey from being an innocent uneducated widow to a resilient woman will add the right amount of freshness and fun to our existing fiction lineup.”
