Mumbai’s storytelling scene is buzzing with excitement as the legendary director Suraj Barjatya, known for timeless romantic epics like ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ and ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’, steps into the digital realm with his latest creation. ‘Sangmarmar’, an upcoming family drama set to premiere on Jio Hotstar and Star Plus from February 26, promises to weave a poignant tale of love entangled in societal constraints and familial duties.
Barjatya shared insights into the show’s inception during an exclusive chat. Jio Hotstar approached him for a sprawling narrative rooted in Indian family values, something that resonates across both traditional TV and OTT platforms. ‘Sangmarmar’ emerged as the perfect pitch—a story of a couple who have shared 25 years of unwavering companionship without the sanctity of marriage, bound by invisible chains of responsibility. ‘It’s a deep exploration of profound love and steadfast togetherness,’ Barjatya emphasized.
Leading the cast are Saurabh Raj Jain as Aditya and Sheen Savita Das as Amruta. Sheen delved into her character’s complexities, portraying Amruta as a woman who sacrificed her dreams for family obligations. ‘Amruta grapples with moral ambiguities, pouring her soul into holding her crumbling home together. Aditya’s distant support is crucial, prioritizing her needs over their relationship,’ she explained.
Saurabh echoed the sentiment, highlighting the selfless nature of Aditya and Amruta’s bond. ‘This is love without expectations, enduring separations and duties yet never fading. Their story captures the beauty of commitment over decades,’ he said. The first glimpse of the series has already sparked anticipation among fans eager for Barjatya’s signature emotional depth.
As ‘Sangmarmar’ gears up for its debut, it stands poised to redefine modern love stories, blending heartfelt drama with relatable struggles that mirror real-life Indian households. Viewers can expect episodes brimming with twists, emotional highs, and the director’s hallmark family-centric warmth.
