Zee TV marketing head Sorbojeet Chatterjee said, “A wedding in India sets the right atmosphere for people to come together, bond and celebrate life – and that’s how we wish to connect with our viewers too. So, with Aarushi-Vihaan’s upcoming wedding, we’ve seized the opportunity to involve our audience in the pre-wedding festivities. The opportunity to personally meet and interact with their favorite stars, pose with them for pictures will give our viewers an unforgettable experience. Delhi is the most apt choice for hosting this gala – not only is the show based in the city, but the spirit of the city’s people lends itself beautifully to such a celebration. Our endeavor is to create a memorable evening and achieve high visibility around the upcoming shaadi highpoint.”
Satrangi Sasural explores a unique scenario, where the man of the house has been raised by seven very strong, independent mother figures, who have distinct sets of expectations from their prospective daughter-in-law. The man in question is all set to marry a girl who must then stand up to these varied expectations of the doting mothers, adapt to this new environment and build relationships within the family. But every love story comes with its fair share of obstacles, and Vihaan and Arushi’s is no exception! To ensure that they have Vihaan’s mothers’ unanimous blessings for the marriage, Vihaan and Aarushi have pretended to not know each other and have made the set-up look like an arranged marriage. Once the truth is revealed, will it cast a shadow between Aarushi and Vihaan or will the lovers enter into matrimonial bliss with everyone’s blessings…? To find out, tune into the wedding week drama on Satrangi Sasural at 10 PM between 23rd and 28th February, only on Zee TV.
