Sahara One unveils its sasural

Dailies are raining in thick and fast across most Hindi GECs. Sahara One too now chips in with another family drama called Mera Sasural to fill its vacant 7.30 pm slot. This soap will air from Monday to Friday from 10 March. Mera Sasural is the saga of two young girls Heer (Urmila Kanetkar) and Goldie (Pooja Joshi) in their respective sasurals. The show brings alive the struggles of a woman in her attempt to strike a balance between the world that she is born into and the one that she enters into the moment she is married. It's a tale revolving around a Punjabi family residing in the same house in Jammu and how they eventually become two sasurals. Yashpal Khajuria (Sudhir Pandey), a jagrata singer and a devotee of 'Bawe Waali Mata' intends to get Omi, his youngest son and a striking army officer married to Heer, a Kashmiri girl. Though he disapproves initially, Omi eventually agrees to marry Heer. The head of Khajuria family, Yashpal Khajuria with his family and his younger brother Bhushan and his wife Sushma live in the same house. Yashpal's daughter Goldie falls in love with Lovleen, who is Sushma's step brother. Sushma hates Yashpal's family although she pretends to be happy about Goldie and Loveleen's relationship and gets them married. Her wily plan however is to destroy their marriage. Heer on the other hand is accepted whole-heartedly by Yashpal and his family. This difference in approach of the two families towards their daughters-in-law is clearly evident. Life has some hard surprises stored in for Heer as she and Omi head for their honeymoon. What occurs after that changes Heer's life and the life of the Khajuria's forever. Programming Head Kalyan Sundaram says, "Through our show Mera Sasural we have attempted to break away from the misconceptions in our society and bring to life some very beautiful and cherished relationships. The show will showcase real yet unpredictable drama narrating the happenings in every Indian household, even today." Writer and producer Anjana Sood (Sacchitanand production) says, "Though the story line may not be vastly different, it's for the first time that we're focusing on family from Jammu. Yahspal Khajuria, is a jagrata singer, thus this show will also compile bhakti with entertainment." The other star cast comprises of Ragini Shah, Nandita Puri, Vishal Puri and Pankaj Beri.
