Actress Mohak Matkar leads powerful debut series exploring a young woman's courage to pursue dreams against traditional barriers

"Saru is not just a show or a character—she's a symbol of resilience and conviction - Mohak Matkar"

Mumbai, May 9

Actress Mohak Matkar described her debut show “Saru” as a powerful reflection of resilience and conviction.

In Zee TV’s new fiction show, Mohak plays the titular role of Saru—a meticulous, confident, and independent young woman deeply rooted in her values. Speaking about her role, Matkar shared, “Mohak Matkar said, “Saru holds a special place in my heart as it is my first lead role and I must highlight that the very first day when I read the script of the show, I knew that this was a story I wanted to be part of! Saru is not just a show or a character—she’s a symbol of resilience and conviction. I am beyond grateful to Zee TV for trusting me with such a powerful role and I feel incredibly proud to bring her story to life. I now hope I can inspire others to find their voice too through Saru and her testing journey.”

The upcoming show also stars Shagun Pandey and Anushka Merchande.

Shagun, who essays the male lead role of Ved Birla, a lecturer in college, shared, “Saru is a show that speaks volumes about chasing dreams despite resistance, and I hope the audiences love the story as much as we do. It is a show that truly defines me as a person too, and I am glad to be a part of it. My character of Ved will be a refreshing surprise for audiences as it is unlike any character I’ve played and it truly helps me showcase my acting abilities like never before. I was drawn to his unwavering commitment to doing what is right and I am looking forward to sharing his story with the audience.”

Mangesh Kulkarni, Chief Channel Officer, Zee TV, stated, “This show delves into the emotional journey of stepping beyond one's comfort zone and explores complex character dynamics. Collaborating with the visionary duo, Shashi and Sumeet Mittal, we aim to deliver a story that reflects the diverse tapestry of our content and connects with audiences across generations.”

“Saru” unfolds the inspiring tale of a spirited young woman from Khares village in Rajasthan who dares to dream beyond the boundaries set by her surroundings. At the heart of the narrative is Saru’s unwavering determination to pursue higher education—an ambition not easily embraced in her conservative community. Faced with limited resources and a cautious mother reluctant to let her leave home, Saru makes the life-changing decision to move to Mumbai for college.

Produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions Pvt. Ltd, “Saru” will premiere on May 12, 2025, and will air daily on Zee TV.

Finally a show that highlights rural women's aspirations! As someone from a small town, I know how difficult it is to break stereotypes. Mohak seems perfect for this role - she has that fire in her eyes. Will definitely watch from Day 1! 👏

Zee TV is really stepping up their content game. After shows like Kumkum Bhagya, this seems like a fresh take. Hope they don't drag the story too much like typical Indian serials though. Fingers crossed!

Mohak's enthusiasm is infectious! But I wonder if they'll show the real struggles of village girls in cities or just romanticize it. Many shows start with great concepts but lose track after TRP pressures. Still, best wishes to the team!

Shashi Sumeet productions usually deliver quality content. Their previous shows had good production values. Excited to see how they portray Rajasthan's culture and Mumbai's contrasting environment. The lead pair chemistry will be crucial!

As a teacher myself, I'm curious about Shagun's lecturer character. Hope they show the education aspect properly instead of just using college as backdrop for romance. We need more meaningful youth-oriented shows in Indian television. 🤞

The concept sounds similar to many movies we've seen before. What will make this daily soap different? Hope they focus on storytelling rather than unnecessary drama tracks. But will give it a try for Mohak - she seems promising!
