Zee TV is launching a new show, Vasudha, on September 16th, promising a fresh narrative on Indian television. The show, produced by Arvind Babbal Productions, delves into the lives of two women with completely different backgrounds and temperaments.
The series centers on Chandrika Singh Chauhan, played by Nausheen Ali Sardar. Chandrika is a powerful businesswoman in Udaipur who is known for her strict principles and dedication to justice. She runs her empire with a firm hand and expects absolute adherence to her high standards. Her strong personality and commitment to rules make her a formidable figure in her community.
In stark contrast, Priya Thakur stars as Vasudha, a young woman who is innocent and carefree. Vasudha is unfamiliar with the strict urban life and has a trusting nature. Her attempts to win over Chandrika often lead to trouble, creating an engaging clash between the two women.
Abhishek Sharma plays Devansh Singh Chauhan, Chandrika’s son. Devansh is the epitome of his parents’ best qualities—empathy from his father and discipline from his mother. He respects his mother deeply and believes in giving people a second chance.
The show explores how these two women, as different as fire and ice, come together and influence each other’s lives in unexpected ways. Vasudha aims to offer a narrative that is both compelling and original.
When I was approached for the show, I found the concept very different from what one generally comes across on TV, and I couldn’t refuse a role that offers tremendous scope for an actor to showcase their range
– Nausheen Ali Sardar
Mangesh Kulkarni, Chief Channel Officer, Zee TV said, “Earlier this year, we embarked on an initiative of actively listening to our viewers via Hamara Parivar, a direct line to their preferences. This has enabled us to craft stories that resonate with their evolving desires and expectations. One such show is Vasudha—an exciting new addition to our slate that complements our existing lineup with a fresh perspective. Vasudha explores the dynamic interplay between two women from contrasting worlds—one steeped in disciplined tradition, the other embodying carefree optimism. Through this heartwarming narrative of joy and determination, we are confident that Vasudha will offer a refreshing and engaging dimension to our programming. Our collaboration with the visionary Arvind Babbal ensures this story will captivate our audience, as it seamlessly integrates into the rich diversity of content Zee TV proudly offers.”
Vasudha holds a special place in my heart as it is my first lead role
– Priya Thakur
Producer Arvind Babbal said, “After presenting audiences with heartwarming narratives like Kyun Rishton Mein Katti Batti and Mithai on Zee TV, we’re excited to collaborate once again with the channel on bringing viewers Vasudha, an engaging narrative of two women from very different worlds and how they profoundly impact each other’s lives. We’ve assembled a talented cast and crew, ensuring a rich tapestry of cultural nuances. We recently completed an extensive outdoor shoot in Udaipur, immersing ourselves in the local worlds and we hope audiences connect with Vasudha’s journey and embrace her with love. I’m thrilled to have Nausheen, Priya, and Abhishek bring these characters to life.”
The excitement for the show is palpable, and we can’t wait to see the audience’s reaction
– Abhishek Sharma
Nausheen Ali Sardar said, “When I was approached for the show, I found the concept very different from what one generally comes across on TV, and I couldn’t refuse a role that offers tremendous scope for an actor to showcase their range. My character of Chandrika Singh Chauhan is truly unlike any character I’ve portrayed before. She is the epitome of strength, a self-made woman, the ultimate boss lady. I hope my fans enjoy seeing me in this new avatar!”
Priya Thakur said, “Vasudha holds a special place in my heart as it is my first lead role. Vasudha’s innocence and optimism are endearing, making viewers root for her. Her attempts to impress Chandrika often lead to humorous situations, but she remains a devoted admirer, hoping she will win her over some day. I hope audiences will embrace her as much as I have.”
Abhishek Sharma said, “Playing Devansh, a beautifully written character, truly helps me showcase my acting abilities like never before. The overwhelming love and support that I have got after the first promo truly makes all the hard work and struggle over the years worth it. The excitement for the show is palpable, and we can’t wait to see the audience’s reaction.”
