Niharika Chouksey opens up on working with Sharad Kelkar in Tum Se Tum Tak: 'Way he approaches his..'

In Indian society, relationships and marriage are often shaped by age-old traditions where factors like age, financial status, and social background hold great significance. But love doesn’t follow rules—it charts its own course, breaking barriers along the way. For decades, Zee TV has been at the forefront of storytelling, bringing audiences thought-provoking narratives that challenge norms and redefine relationships. Now, with its new offering - Tum Se Tum Tak, the channel presents a fresh and heartfelt love story that will go beyond societal conventions.

The show will explore the unconventional romance between Anu, a 19-year-old middle-class girl with big dreams and deep-rooted values, and Aryavardhan, a 46-year-old self-made business tycoon known for his discipline and elegance. Despite their stark differences in age, class, and lifestyle, love finds its way into their hearts, challenging everything society deems acceptable.

Popular actor Sharad Kelkar steps into the role of Aryavardhan, portraying a powerful yet grounded businessman who commands respect with his wisdom, charm, and humility. But despite his wealth and status, he remains a man of integrity, valuing relationships over riches. Niharika Chouksey, on the other hand, brings Anu’s character to life - a vibrant, sincere, and affectionate young woman with dreams of securing a better future for her family. Loyal and determined, she is a girl who values love but also understands life’s responsibilities. The one thing that holds the utmost importance in Anu's life is the trust that she places in the people she loves.

Tum Se Tum Tak will go on to beautifully contrast the warmth and simplicity of a close-knit middle-class family with the grandeur and refinement of an affluent household. It also raises a poignant question—can love alone bridge the gap between generations, social expectations, and deep-seated traditions?

Sharing her excitement, Niharika said, "I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of this show! It’s such a refreshing and heartwarming love story—something we don’t often see on television. The story is beautifully written, and I was drawn to it from the very beginning. It explores love in such a unique way, and I feel lucky to be playing a character as special as Anu. She’s bubbly, full of life, and in many ways, just like me. The entire cast and crew have been amazing, making every day on set a joy. And working with Sharad sir is truly an honor—he’s such a phenomenal actor, and his dedication to his craft is incredible. Even though we’ve just started shooting, I’m already learning so much from him like how he approaches his character and his effortless screen presence. I can't wait for the audience to watch the show, and I hope they love it as much as we’ve loved bringing it to life!"
