Sagar Parekh & Aarya Babbar's bond lights up Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah sets

In Zee TV’s Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, the intense father-son dynamic between Kalikant (Aarya Babbar) and Akash (Sagar Parekh) fuels the show’s emotional drama. Their characters are constantly at odds, locked in conflict that adds fire to the storyline. But behind the scenes, it’s a completely different picture.

Sagar and Aarya share a playful and energetic friendship off-camera that keeps the entire set buzzing. What fans see as tension on screen is balanced by laughter, pranks, and camaraderie when the cameras stop rolling. From spontaneous dance sessions to witty banter, their off-screen chemistry turns long shoot hours into memorable fun.

Speaking about their bond, Sagar Parekh shared, “On screen, Aarya Sir and I may be butting heads as father and son, but off-screen, it’s the total opposite. Working with him is a blast—his energy is something else. He brings such a lively vibe to the set with his jokes, his dance moves, and just his overall presence. We’re always laughing, pulling each other’s leg, and creating fun moments between takes. It honestly makes work feel like play.”

The duo’s bond not only uplifts the crew but also reflects the ease with which both actors shift between intense drama and light-hearted moments.

While they enjoy this strong off-screen connection, the drama is only set to intensify on-screen. Akash is on the brink of a major discovery—that Jagriti (Rachana Mistry), his close friend, is actually Jaggu. With Kalikant’s sinister motives threatening the Chitta community, the story now hangs on whether Akash and Jagriti will unite to take him down.

As the show continues to deliver gripping twists, it’s the vibrant off-screen friendships like Sagar and Aarya’s that bring added magic behind the scenes of Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah.
