ZEE Marathi to launch new show ‘Majhi Tujhi Reshimgath’ on 23 August
Mumbai: Proudly continuing to be the torchbearer of Marathi culture, ZEE Marathi with its new philosophy – ‘Navya natyanchya bandhu gathi, me Marathi Zee Marathi’ is all set to introduce new offerings in the month of August. As a part of its upcoming content line-up, the regional GEC has announced ‘Majhi Tujhi Reshimgath’, set to premiere on 23 August.
The show features actor Shreyas Talpade in the lead role, who will be making a comeback on Marathi television after 17 years. He is paired opposite actress Prarthana Behere in the show.
“The dynamics of the entertainment industry are rapidly changing today,” said Talpade on his comeback. “There is nothing like a big screen or small screen, especially when one can watch films on their smartphones. So, as an actor, I can’t be extremely choosy with the medium. The idea is to stay connected with fans but I’m extremely happy to do a Marathi show after such a long gap from television. The plot of ‘Majhi Tujhi Reshimgath’ is very interesting and it’s going to win the audience’s hearts for sure.”
“Over the last decade we have seen a change in ZEE Marathi’s audience and their content preferences,” ZEE Marathi – business head, Nilesh Mayekar said. “Our efforts have always been to not just keep up with the times but to challenge set norms and delight viewers through rousing yet rooted content. Taking our viewers’ preferences into consideration, we have roped in a few iconic stars in our upcoming shows. We are delighted to have a renowned actor like Shreyas Talpade onboard.”
Majhi Tujhi Reshimgath will be aired every Monday to Saturday at 8.30 pm only on ZEE Marathi.
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.
