Zee Marathi to launch ‘Maze Pati Saubhagyawati’ on 28 September
MUMBAI: Come 28 September and Zee Marathi is all set to launch a new show called Maze Pati Saubhagyawati.
The show will be aired from Monday – Saturday at 8.30 pm.
Maze Pati Saubhagyawati is a story about a man, who realises the worth of a woman when he himself has to essay the role of one.
Zee Marathi business head Deepak Rajadhyaksha said, “The concept of Maze Pati Saubhagyawati is unique and has been created keeping in mind the need for differentiated content that has become the hallmark of Zee Marathi programming ethos. The concept is based on a very poignant insight that woman and her life are not as simple as it looks and one needs to go to another level to start empathising with her. The story essays the life of many who come to Mumbai with dreams of making it big in the world of acting and the challenges life throws at them. The presence of seasoned and veteran actors makes this offering something people are looking forward to. The initial buzz has been very positive and people are looking forward to seeing the show after catching the glimpse of the promos and the off air campaign.”
Zee Marathi has taken to ATL in a big way to promote the new show. TV, print and outdoor mediums sport ads of Maze Pati Saubhagyawati. Additionally, the channel has also launched initiatives on social media planned during the launch and sustenance of the show.
The outdoor campaign focused on the Mumbai and Pune markets with investments in key areas. Promos of the launch have also been running in Ganpati pandals across Mumbai.
The show has been produced by Teamwork Ultra Creations and directed by Mandar Devsthali. It stars Vaibhav Mangale, Nandita Dhuri, Ashok Shinde and Ramesh Bhatkar.
Awards
Hamdard honours changemakers at Abdul Hameed awards
NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
