Mumbai, July 5, 2025: Challenging deep-rooted societal norms around age, status, and relationships, Zee TV is set to premiere its latest fiction drama Tumm Se Tumm Tak—a compelling story that redefines love beyond conventions. Airing daily at 8:30 PM starting July 7, the show brings to life the extraordinary bond between Anu, a spirited 19-year-old from a modest background, and Aryavardhan, a 46-year-old self-made business tycoon.
Produced by Studio LSD Pvt. Ltd. and inspired by the hit Zee Kannada show Jothe Jothiyali, Tumm Se Tumm Tak features popular actor Sharad Kelkar as Aryavardhan—a dignified and humble entrepreneur—and Niharika Chouksey as Anu—a determined, loving young woman balancing dreams and family responsibilities.
“At Zee TV, we’re proud to present stories that are fresh, emotive, and rooted in reality. Tumm Se Tumm Tak adds a nuanced exploration of relationships to our fiction lineup,” said Mangesh Kulkarni, Chief Channel Officer, Zee TV.
Raghavendra Hunsur, Chief Content Officer, Z, shared, “This is not just a love story—it’s a deep, introspective look at how connections can blossom in the unlikeliest circumstances, resonating with the quiet complexities of modern relationships.”
Prateek Sharma, Producer, Studio LSD, expressed excitement about reuniting with Zee TV: “This story stands out for its emotional depth, and filming in Delhi gave an authentic backdrop to the narrative. Sharad Kelkar and Niharika Chouksey’s performances have added life to these layered characters.”
For Sharad Kelkar, the show marks a nostalgic homecoming: “Returning to Zee TV after 16 years and to television after eight, I felt an instant connection with Tumm Se Tumm Tak. Aryavardhan is unlike any character I’ve portrayed—a role that is powerful yet deeply human.”
Niharika Chouksey added, “Portraying Anu has been transformative. She’s wise beyond her years, and sharing the screen with Sharad sir has been an incredible learning experience.”
As Tumm Se Tumm Tak unfolds, audiences can look forward to a heartwarming yet challenging journey of love, resilience, and societal hurdles. Will Aryavardhan and Anu’s love survive the odds stacked against them?
