COLORS' upcoming show, 'Mera Balam Thanedaar,' features veteran actor Neelu Vaghela in a negative role

Colors continues to redefine entertainment with interesting narratives that explore meaningful themes and set new standards in the world of storytelling. Known for its rich legacy, it is set to bring a riveting love story to its forthcoming offering, 'Mera Balam Thanedaar’. This fresh tale, starring Shagun Pandey as Veer and Shruti Choudhary as Bulbul, not only explores the complexities of love but also sheds light on the issue of underage marriage.

The upcoming show now ropes in veteran actor Neelu Vaghela in the role of Bhawani Chundawat, who is a cunning politician and the rival of Veer’s family. In the show, it will be shown that she was once the best friend of Veer’s mother, and the two women become enemies after an event. She is responsible and helpful but uses her power to the disadvantage of Veer's family. Bhawani’s presence, enlivened by Neelu, is poised to bring unpredictable twists to the one-of-a-kind love story.

Neelu Vaghela, playing the character of Bhawani Chundawat, says, “By stepping aboard ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’, I got a chance to essay a negative role for the first time, and it was a fun challenge for me. It feels great to be embodying a villain at this juncture of my career. Hailing from Rajasthan, I find a natural connection to the narrative of the show. I am portraying the character of Bhawani Chundawat, who is going to bring a storm into the lives of Veer and Bulbul. She is admired by people and known for her strength as a sly politician who makes calculated moves to get her way and keeps a close watch on Veer’s family. As I experiment this role, I hope that viewers will embrace me in this character.”

Set in Rajasthan, the show follows the rollercoaster journey of Bulbul and Veer, who are as different as chalk and cheese. While Bulbul believes telling lies for others' well-being is acceptable, Veer, an honorable IPS officer, views lying as a serious offense. Bulbul doesn’t know that her parents have concealed the fact that she’s a minor, and Veer, a vocal advocate against underage marriages, unknowingly marries her. The biggest challenge for the two is rising above their differences and battling obstacles posed by the deceit.
