Mera Balam Thanedaar: "I promise to bring Bulbul to life with everything I have," says Shruti Choudhary

Set in picturesque locations of Rajasthan, Colors' presents 'Mera Balam Thanedaar', a tale that unravels the journey of Bulbul and Veer, who are as disparate as chalk and cheese but have intertwined destinies. Bulbul is a lively young girl who follows what her mother tells her to do. She is underage but unaware of this fact completely. On the other hand, Veer, an honest IPS Officer, firmly opposes deceit in any form. Bulbul doesn't know that her parents have concealed her true age. Meanwhile, Veer, a crusader against underage marriages, unknowingly marries Bulbul, not knowing that she is a minor. Will love find its way into this seemingly loveless marriage amid the backdrop of deception and destiny?
