COLORS’ Shakti…Astitva ke Ehsaas Ki conquers the Top 5 slot
As weekly traditions follows, the BARC ratings for the week gone by are out! COLORS’ social drama Shakti… Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki has charged into the Top 5 Program list. The show’s path breaking concept is one of the key reasons for the success of the riveting series. On screen for over 2 years now, Shakti… Astitva Ke Eshaas Ki has managed to conquer the imagination of audiences across the country. Bringing alive a concept that breaks all stereotypes, the story revolves around the life of a transgender, Soumya, beautifully portrayed by Rubina Dilaik and her better half Harman played by Vivian DSena.
Commenting on the success of the show, Rubina Dilaik said, “Shakti… Astitva Ke Ehsaas Kii, will always be one of the first shows to start a revolution of bold concepts on Indian television. The trials and tribulations of a kinnar has been beautifully shown along with a heart-warming storyline. Saumya’s character in no time has been accepted by the audience because the show managed to mirror the harsh realities of the society we live in. And I am glad to have been able to sustain that love and relatability. It’s surely one of the most special character and it’s overwhelming to see the ever growing positive response of the audience. I would like to thank everyone who has made this so special. “
Vivian Dsena added, “Shakti… Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki has always echoed a very powerful social message, and it’s a delight to see the love we have received till now. It was our faith in such a path breaking concept that has helped reach where we are. We all hope to live up to the expectation of each and every person who has been a part of this outstanding journey, we only hope to grow from here.”
In a recent episode, Maharani was seen holding Preeto and Soumya at gunpoint, threatening to kill Preeto, while the rest of the family remained unconscious. Harman chases her, with Maharani fleeing from the house and they reach a cliff where Maharani tries to kill Harman.
