HYMAE Arjun 13 years' celebration: Tera Mera Saath Rahe

Celebrating 13 Years of

HYMAE Arjun

Tera Mera Saath Rahe

What makes a show, that ran for a mere 2 years, that too 13 years ago, generate interest even today? One wonders.

Was it the casting that just.....fit?

Was it the actors what slid into their roles like hand in glove?

Was it the freshness that it brought to investigative shows at a time when saas-bahu shows ruled?

Was it because it was shot as "real" and as close to reality?

Was it the heroic exit it gave it's main cast, in realising that superpower is ordinary people doing extraordinary acts, going beyond limitations?

Was it flawless or apologetically flawed that the audience was ready to ignore?

Whatever it was, it brought out the hidden writers through platforms such as these, friendships that, though faceless, made for discussions so profound.

Arjun Suryakant Rawte — The Man, The Legend, The Shadow of Justice

When Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek premiered in August 2012, the Indian television landscape had plenty of cops and detectives, but none quite like Arjun Suryakant Rawte. Played with a brooding, magnetic intensity by Shaleen Malhotra, Arjun wasn’t just another police officer catching criminals; he was a storm contained in human form — calm on the surface, turbulent underneath.

The series introduced him as a Senior Officer in the ETF (Emergency Task Force), a man with razor-sharp instincts, unyielding morals, and a personal history soaked in tragedy. Over time, he became one of Indian television’s most compelling crime-thriller protagonists — a complex mixture of stoic leader, wounded soul, and relentless seeker of justice.

Arjun walks into the ETF not as a fresh recruit but as a man with a reputation preceding him : "kya kaam karwata hai, apne tareeke se karwata hai." From the first episode, you could sense his aura - minimal words, direct eye contact, deliberate movements. The kind of man who doesn’t need to raise his voice to command authority.

Shaleen Malhotra's portrayal ensured Arjun felt real, his silences were loaded with meaning, his rare smirks told entire stories, and his sarcasm cut sharper than his gunshots.

Arjun’s physical presence is half the battle won — tall, broad-shouldered, in his signature black shirts and trousers, often with rolled-up sleeves like he’s perpetually ready for action. His walk is slow but purposeful, his posture upright, and his eyes — oh, his eyes — are a masterclass in controlled emotion. Shaleen uses micro-expressions to convey whole scenes without dialogue.

Even when he’s just standing at a crime scene, there’s a sense of suppressed danger about him, like a predator who’s already spotted his prey.

Core Personality Traits

a) Stoicism & Composure

Arjun doesn’t panic. Ever. Gunfire, explosions, hostages — his breathing doesn’t change. That isn’t coldness; it’s focus. He is the man you want when things go wrong.

b) Relentless Pursuit of Justice

He isn’t satisfied with the surface truth. If a case is “closed” but his instincts say otherwise, he will dig — and dig — until the truth is unburied. This sometimes puts him at odds with his seniors, but it’s also what makes him extraordinary.

c) Empathy Beneath the Armour

He may seem unapproachable, but cases involving children, women in distress, or injustice stir something deep in him. His soft spot for victims is one of the few cracks in his emotional armour.

d) Sarcasm as a Weapon

Arjun’s wit is dry and razor-sharp. His one-liners to criminals and even teammates are iconic. It’s how he communicates without opening too much of himself.

Arjun’s past is his shadow — always following him, shaping his choices. Once married to Roshni, the love of his life, he was shattered when she was brutally murdered by the criminal Sikandar. Her death was not just a loss but an open wound, a wound that fuels every mission.

This tragedy serves as both his driving force and his Achilles heel. He carries survivor’s guilt, an unresolved need for vengeance, and an unspoken tenderness for the life he lost. It explains his occasional recklessness, his refusal to back down, and his deep empathy for victims.

Sameer Damsingh Rathore – ETF Chief and former best friend. Their relationship is a fascinating mix of tension, professional respect, and the ghost of their old camaraderie. Roshni’s death created a chasm between them, but there’s an unspoken trust that never fully dies.

Riya Mukherjee – The charming research specialist whose lightness contrasts Arjun’s gravity. While not an overt romance in canon, their dynamic has hints of admiration, irritation, and a subtle emotional push-and-pull. Riya challenges his patience, earns his respect, and occasionally cracks his shell.

ETF Team – For someone who seems like a lone wolf, Arjun functions as a quiet protector for his team — from Shree’s tech brilliance to Chotu’s brawn and Ayesha’s sharp shooting.

Criminals – He doesn’t just arrest them; he dissects them. His understanding of criminal psychology makes him terrifying to those he hunts. Many episodes end with criminals breaking under his unyielding gaze.

While he speaks little, his words often stay with you:

“Main sawaal kam poochta hoon… jawaab zyada milta hai.”

“Kanoon se khelne waalon ka anjaam hamesha ek hota hai.”

“Galti karne walon ko maaf kiya ja sakta hai… lekin gunahgar ko nahi.”

Over the episodes, Arjun changes from an entirely closed-off man to someone who allows slivers of warmth back into his life. The progression isn’t rushed; it feels earned. By the later episodes, his exchanges with the team carry more humour, his silences feel less isolating, and you can sense Roshni’s memory evolving from pure pain to a bittersweet source of strength.

Shaleen’s performance is the soul of Arjun. He never overplays the brooding — instead, he lets Arjun’s depth seep through subtle gestures, layered silences, and measured voice modulation. His physical discipline (fight choreography, stance, weapon handling) adds believability, while his emotional restraint makes the rare moments of vulnerability absolutely shattering.

Thirteen years on, Arjun Suryakant Rawte remains one of Indian TV’s most iconic crime-thriller heroes. Arjun represents a rare combination, an officer who’s both a weapon and a shield, a man who inspires fear in criminals and hope in victims. His moral compass is unshakable, his presence unforgettable.

His character set a benchmark for how crime-drama leads could be layered, morally complex, and emotionally resonant without losing their edge.

Arjun endures because he embodies the timeless idea that justice is not just about laws, but about human dignity. He’s the kind of hero who doesn’t need a cape; his weapon is his mind, his shield is his will, and his greatest strength is his refusal to stop.

In a landscape full of quick thrills and over-the-top drama, Arjun’s story remains a masterclass in controlled intensity and lasting impact.

Sameer Damsingh Rathore: The Commander Who Led from the Front

(Portrayed by Behzaad Khan)

When Arjun premiered in 2012, every hero needs a counterpart — someone who can match him in strength, discipline, and presence. For the ETF, that figure was ETF Chief Sameer Damsingh Rathore. Played with a commanding gravitas by Mohammed Behzad Khan, Rathore was the steel backbone of the team — a man of rank, honour, and unwavering responsibility.

~ Leadership & Authority

As the ETF’s Chief, Rathore wasn’t just a desk officer — he was the man who made the tough calls, led raids in the field, and took accountability for every operation. His leadership style combined military precision with a policeman’s instinct, making him both respected and feared in equal measure.

~ Personality & Principles

Rathore embodied discipline, loyalty, and duty. He was rarely swayed by emotion in the heat of an operation, but beneath his crisp orders lay a man deeply committed to his people and to justice. He believed in the system, often clashing with Arjun’s maverick methods, but those clashes only revealed how much they respected each other.

~ The Rathore–Rawte Dynamic

One of the show’s most compelling relationships was the charged camaraderie between Sameer and Arjun. Once close friends, a shared tragedy — Roshni’s death — created a rift between them. Yet, in every mission, their mutual trust peeked through. They were two sides of the same coin: Rathore, the disciplined commander; Arjun, the lone wolf.

~ Bonds with the Team

To Shree, Chotu, Riya, and later Ayesha, Rathore was both a boss and a protector. He pushed them to excel, but also shielded them from unnecessary danger. His respect for competence was clear — he didn’t hand out praise lightly, but when he did, it meant everything.

~ Presence on Screen

Behzaad Khan gave Rathore an unmistakable commanding aura — his upright stance, clipped tone, and the way he could silence a room with a single “Enough.” Whether in the ETF command centre or at a crime scene, Rathore looked every bit the man in charge. His rare moments of humour or gentleness carried extra weight precisely because they were rare.

Thirteen years later, Sameer Damsingh Rathore remains a symbol of honour in leadership. He reminded viewers that real strength isn’t about loud heroics, but about standing firm when it matters most. In a world of fictional leaders who bend for convenience, Rathore stood tall in face of all challenges.

Roshni Arjun Rawte: The Heart That Still Beats in His Silence

(Portrayed by Samiksha Singh)

In a show driven by crime, action, and high-stakes investigations, Roshni Arjun Rawte was the rare, gentle heartbeat that reminded us of the life and love behind the man in black. Portrayed with grace and warmth by Samiksha Singh, Roshni was more than just the wife of ETF’s stoic officer Arjun Suryakant Rawte — she was his anchor, his light, and his reason to dream of a softer world.

Roshni’s presence in the series was fleeting in screen time, yet eternal in impact. Seen mostly in flashbacks and memories, she was the woman who brought laughter into Arjun’s life, challenged his seriousness, and had the rare ability to disarm him with just a smile. She was spirited, compassionate, and stubborn in her own gentle way — the perfect counterbalance to his intensity.

Her tragic death at the hands of Sikandar became the defining wound of Arjun’s life, shaping his journey and fuelling his relentless pursuit of justice. Yet, the beauty of her character lies in how she continued to exist beyond her absence. In his silences, in the softness that occasionally surfaces, in the moments when he allows himself to care — Roshni is there.

Samiksha Singh infused Roshni with a believable warmth, the kind of energy that makes you understand why Arjun still carries her with him like an unshakable part of his soul. She wasn’t just a backstory — she was a living memory, a promise that love can outlast loss.

Thirteen years later, Roshni remains one of Indian television’s most quietly unforgettable characters — proof that sometimes, the most powerful roles are not measured by episodes, but by the depth of the heart they leave behind.

Riya Mukherjee — The Heart of ETF

(Portrayed by Sana Makbul Khan in “Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek”)

When Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek introduced Riya Mukherjee, she immediately stood out in the high-pressure world of the ETF (Emergency Task Force). Played with warmth and energy by Sana Makbul Khan, Riya was not just another team member — she was the team’s beating heart, the ray of light in a job surrounded by darkness.

1. Who She Was

Riya served as the ETF’s Research Specialist — sharp-minded, well-read, and equipped with a keen eye for patterns others might overlook. While she wasn’t a field combat expert like Arjun or Rathore, she compensated with extensive knowledge in criminal psychology, forensics, and profiling. Her desk work often cracked cases wide open.

But Riya was more than her job title. She was curious, courageous, and quietly rebellious, never hesitating to speak her mind even when surrounded by intimidating personalities.

2. Personality & Presence

Riya’s personality was a blend of intellect, charm, and sincerity. She had a knack for balancing serious investigations with moments of levity, often teasing her colleagues or making light-hearted observations that diffused tension.

Her compassion extended beyond cases — she genuinely cared about victims, families, and even her teammates’ emotional well-being. Where others saw just evidence, Riya saw stories, pain, and hope.

3. Her Dynamic with Arjun

Riya’s interactions with Arjun Suryakant Rawte were one of the show’s quiet joys. His stoic, closed-off nature clashed with her curious and talkative energy, leading to subtle moments of irritation, amusement, and unspoken respect. She admired his skills and often sought to learn from him, while he — despite rarely admitting it — valued her input more than he let on. Their contrasting personalities created a balance: her light softened his edges, and his discipline sharpened her instincts.

4. Team Relationships

With Shree, she shared friendly banter and tech-geek jokes.

With Chotu, she enjoyed light teasing and mutual respect.

With Rathore, she maintained professionalism but wasn’t afraid to hold her ground.

Riya’s ability to connect with everyone made her a glue-like presence — someone who could bridge differences within the team.

5. Strengths & Skills

Research & Profiling Expertise – Could compile, cross-check, and interpret massive data in record time.

Quick Thinking – Often came up with unexpected leads mid-investigation.

Observational Skills – Noticed details that slipped others’ attention.

Empathy – Connected deeply with victims, often gaining vital insights from interviews.

6. The Warmth in the Shadows

In a show dominated by guns, high-stakes chases, and hardened criminals, Riya brought humanity. She reminded viewers — and the ETF itself — that law enforcement isn’t just about catching the guilty, but about understanding and helping the innocent. Her smile could break tension, her questions could uncover truths, and her sincerity could earn trust even from the most guarded witnesses.

7. Legacy After 13 Years

Though her time in the series was tragically cut short, Riya Mukherjee remains unforgettable to fans. She represented hope, determination, and the belief that kindness has a place even in the harshest professions.

Thirteen years later, fans still remember her as the spark in ETF’s otherwise shadowed world — the intelligent, brave young woman whose contributions were just as vital as the bullets and handcuffs.

Riya wasn’t just part of the ETF.

She was its soul.

Shreekant “Shree” Sen — The Brain Behind the ETF Screens

(Portrayed by Siddharth Sen)

In the high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled world of Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek, where bullets fly and suspects run, there’s one man who proves that brains can be just as lethal as brawn — Shreekant Sen, lovingly called Shree. Played with charm and wit by Siddharth Sen, Shree is the ETF’s resident technical expert, hacker extraordinaire, and the team’s go-to for anything involving computers, surveillance, or cyber trails.

From day one, Shree stands out as the calm, quick-thinking problem-solver. While Arjun and the field team are on the chase, Shree sits in front of glowing monitors, fingers flying over keyboards, pulling up CCTV footage, tracing calls, breaking through encrypted data, and delivering intel at lightning speed. Without him, the ETF would often be chasing shadows.

But Shree isn’t just a tech wizard — he’s also the comic relief and the moral balance of the team. His light-hearted banter with Chotu, playful jibes at Riya, and occasional sarcastic comments even toward his seniors keep the tension from swallowing the team whole. Underneath the humour, though, lies fierce loyalty. When danger knocks, Shree isn’t afraid to step away from the computer and into the field — proving he’s more than just a “desk job.”

One of Shree’s most endearing traits is his ability to connect with people, whether victims or colleagues. His empathy shows in the way he comforts shaken witnesses or reassures a worried teammate. And while he might joke about Arjun’s intensity, he deeply respects his leadership and follows his lead without question when the situation turns critical.

Over the years, Siddharth Sen made Shree more than a “tech guy” stereotype — he gave him warmth, wit, and humanity. Thirteen years later, fans still remember his quirky lines, his friendship with Chotu, and the quiet heroism he displayed in episodes where his life was on the line.

In a team full of action heroes, Shreekant Sen proved that sometimes, the sharpest weapon is a brilliant mind paired with an unshakable heart — and for that, he’ll always be one of ETF’s most beloved members.

Chandrakant “Chotu” Patil — The Gentle Giant of the ETF

(Portrayed by Ketan Karande in Star Plus’s Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek)

In a team filled with sharp shooters, tech wizards, and master strategists, Chandrakant Patil — fondly known as Chotu — stood out as the heart and muscle of the ETF. From the very first episode, he became a fan favourite for being that rare blend of brawn, loyalty, and unshakable warmth.

1. First Impressions

Towering in stature, broad-shouldered, and with a commanding physical presence, Chotu was often the first to run into danger — quite literally. But behind that imposing frame was a man with a ready smile, an easy laugh, and a heart as big as his strength. His nickname “Chotu” was the perfect inside joke — a gentle reminder that the ETF’s giant was also its most approachable member.

2. Personality & Traits

Loyalty First – Whether it was following orders from Rathore, backing up Arjun in the field, or protecting his teammates, Chotu was the guy you could trust to be there — no questions asked.

Physical Courage – From breaking down doors to chasing criminals across rooftops, he took on the most physically demanding tasks without hesitation.

Playful Energy – His light-hearted banter with Shree, friendly teasing of Riya, and quick comebacks kept the ETF’s high-pressure environment from getting too heavy.

Empathy – Chotu had a soft spot for victims and an instinct to comfort, proving that true strength is as much about kindness as it is about force.

3. Dynamics Within the Team

Chotu’s friendships were the glue that kept the ETF’s morale high. His Shree–Chotu camaraderie was legendary — full of jokes, mutual teasing, and genuine care. With Riya, he was the protective elder brother type, always quick to step in if she was in trouble. His respect for Rathore’s leadership and his faith in Arjun’s instincts showed his ability to balance hierarchy with personal trust.

4. Skills & Field Strengths

Close-Quarters Combat – Criminals rarely lasted long when Chotu got close.

Tracking & Pursuit – His stamina and speed made him a dangerous man to run from.

Rescue Operations – Often the one to physically carry or shield victims to safety.

Team Support – Quick to provide backup, cover fire, or act as a human shield when needed.

5. Why Chotu Endures in Fans’ Hearts

Over 13 years later, fans remember Chotu not just as the ETF’s muscle, but as its emotional anchor. He showed that strength and gentleness can coexist beautifully. Ketan Karande’s portrayal made him more than a side character — he was family to the audience, someone you felt safer just seeing on screen.

6. Legacy

Chotu remains a reminder that in the fight for justice, heroes come in many forms — some with sharp minds, some with steady aim, and some, like him, with unshakable hearts and unstoppable hands.

Thirteen years on, the image of Chotu charging into danger or grinning at a teammate’s joke still feels as fresh as ever.

Ayesha Kapoor — The Lady Boss of ETF

(Portrayed by Shital Shah in Star Plus’s crime thriller “Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek”)

When Ayesha Kapoor entered Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek, she didn’t just join the ETF — she owned her space in it. Played with effortless poise and charisma by Shital Shah, Ayesha was a breath of fresh air: stylish, confident, razor-sharp, and more than capable of holding her own in a team dominated by strong male personalities.

1. First Impressions

Ayesha’s arrival was marked by her trademark blend of elegance and authority. She wasn’t the “rookie learning the ropes” — she was already a seasoned officer, well-versed in undercover work, infiltration, and criminal profiling. From the moment she stepped on screen, she carried herself with a mix of warmth and steel, earning respect without demanding it.

2. Personality & Skills

Ayesha’s defining quality is her composure under pressure. Whether tailing a suspect in high heels or going undercover in risky environments, she adapted seamlessly. She had a knack for reading people, slipping into roles convincingly during undercover ops, and handling tense negotiations with calm precision.

Her style quotient — sleek hair, tailored outfits, and subtle makeup — made her stand out, but never distracted from her competence. She was proof that femininity and strength aren’t mutually exclusive.

3. Team Dynamics

With Arjun – Professional respect and quiet understanding. Ayesha didn’t flinch at Arjun’s intense personality; she matched his seriousness with her own brand of focused calm.

With Sameer Rathore – Mutual trust and no-nonsense communication. Their exchanges often carried a crisp efficiency that showed her value as a reliable operative.

With Shree & Chotu – A mix of camaraderie and sibling-like teasing. She blended into the ETF family while maintaining her authority.

4. Memorable Moments

From posing as a glamorous socialite to infiltrate criminal circles, to swift, decisive takedowns in the field, Ayesha proved she was more than just backup — she was often the key to solving cases. Her undercover assignments brought a unique flavour to the show, allowing her to explore different personalities without ever losing Ayesha’s core integrity.

5. Shital Shah’s Impact

Shital brought a natural grace to Ayesha, avoiding clichés and instead portraying her as a layered, grounded professional. She balanced the glamour with grit, making Ayesha memorable as one of television’s most stylish yet capable female cops.

6. Legacy — 13 Years Later

Even years after the show, Ayesha Kapoor stands as a reminder that female characters in crime thrillers can be multi-dimensional powerhouses — glamorous, intelligent, brave, and indispensable to the mission. She remains a fan favourite for embodying a kind of effortless strength that’s as inspiring as it is entertaining.

Dr. Lisa D’Cruz — The Sharp Mind Behind the Forensics

(Portrayed by Ritu Chauhan in Star Plus’s “Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek”)

When we talk about Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek, the spotlight often falls on the field action — high-speed chases, tense interrogations, and Arjun’s brooding intensity. But behind every solved case was Dr. Lisa D’Cruz, the ETF’s brilliant forensic expert, played with quiet strength and charm by Ritu Chauhan.

Lisa wasn’t in every frame, but whenever she appeared, she mattered. Calm, precise, and deeply committed to her work, she was the silent backbone of the team’s investigative process. In a unit full of adrenaline and high-stakes drama, Lisa brought the science — turning scattered clues into hard evidence, giving Arjun and the team the breakthroughs they needed.

The Character

Lisa combined intelligence and warmth in a way that made her instantly likable. She was professional to the core, her lab a sanctuary of logic and detail. Whether it was analysing blood samples, decoding chemical traces, or reconstructing crime scenes, Lisa’s accuracy was impeccable.

But she wasn’t just the “lab rat” stereotype. Lisa had a gentle humour, an approachable energy that balanced the ETF’s heavier moods. Her interactions with Shree and Chotu often added a subtle layer of camaraderie, reminding viewers that the ETF wasn’t just a team — it was a family.

Contribution to the ETF

In a show driven by split-second decisions, Lisa represented patience and method. She taught viewers that justice isn’t just about catching the criminal; it’s about proving the crime beyond doubt. Many episodes hinged on her discoveries — a stray hair fibre, a chemical residue, or a time-of-death calculation that turned the entire case around.

Ritu Chauhan’s Portrayal

Ritu Chauhan gave Lisa a grounded realism. She played her not as a flashy genius, but as a relatable, hardworking professional whose quiet confidence came from competence, not ego. Her screen time may have been limited, but she left a mark strong enough that even thirteen years later, fans remember her with fondness.

Her Legacy 13 Years Later

Lisa D’Cruz is remembered as the unsung hero of Arjun. In a show about action and justice, she reminded us that brains are as important as brawn, and that sometimes the most powerful work happens away from the spotlight. Her character remains a testament to the vital role of forensics in crime-solving — and to the charm of a woman who could make science feel just as thrilling as a chase scene.

-*--*-

Sakshi Anand — The Fiery Heart of the ETF

(Portrayed by Mrunal Thakur in Star Plus’s “Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek”)

Sakshi Anand burst onto the scene as the vibrant, fiercely intelligent forensic expert of the Emergency Task Force. Played with captivating energy and depth by Mrunal Thakur, Sakshi brought a perfect balance of sharpness and warmth to the high-octane world of crime-solving.

Unlike the brooding and intense Arjun Rawte, Sakshi’s character radiates passion and determination. She is fearless, both in the lab and in the field, never hesitating to push boundaries or stand her ground when faced with obstacles. Her brilliant mind and meticulous attention to detail are crucial to the team’s success, providing the forensic insights that often crack the toughest cases.

Beyond her professional brilliance, Sakshi’s fiery spirit and emotional honesty make her immensely relatable. She doesn’t shy away from expressing what she feels, whether it’s frustration, hope, or quiet vulnerability. This makes her a grounding force within the team — someone who reminds her colleagues of the human side of justice.

Her evolving dynamics with Arjun and the rest of the ETF highlight her role not just as a colleague but as a trusted friend and essential pillar of the squad. Sakshi’s courage, intelligence, and compassion have left a lasting impression on viewers, making her one of the most beloved characters in the series.

Thirteen years later, Sakshi Anand remains an inspiring symbol of strength and brilliance, proving that in the darkest of investigations, it’s the fierce heart and sharp mind that light the way.

Karan (played by Rohit Purohit)

Karan is the street-smart, bold, and fiercely loyal member of the Emergency Task Force (ETF). Known for his quick thinking and mechanical skills, Karan often provides the team with unconventional solutions and a grounded perspective amidst high-pressure investigations. His cocky yet charming personality adds a relatable and human dimension to the otherwise intense crime-solving team. Despite his tough exterior, Karan cares deeply for his teammates and often acts as the emotional backbone, especially during moments of personal conflict. Rohit Purohit brought an authentic intensity and natural ease to the role, making Karan’s blend of humor, grit, and sensitivity memorable and endearing to fans. His journey through the series—from a rough-around-the-edges youth to a committed, dependable officer—resonates as a story of growth and dedication.

***

Simran (played by Sheena Bajaj)

Simran shines as the spirited and compassionate soul within the ETF circle. As a talented actress, she combines grace with strength, consistently showing resilience in the face of danger and personal challenges. Simran's loyalty and quick wit make her an indispensable ally, often bridging gaps and lightening tense situations with her warmth. Sheena Bajaj’s portrayal captures Simran’s layered personality—a blend of vulnerability, courage, and determination—that adds emotional depth to the series. Simran is not just a supportive character but one who stands firm alongside her team, symbolizing the importance of empathy and perseverance in the world of crime fighting.

Together, Karan and Simran represent the heart of Arjun - Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek. Their unwavering commitment to justice, combined with their human flaws and strengths, highlight the show’s central themes of friendship, courage, and resilience. Their dynamic presence enriches the narrative, reminding viewers why the series remains an enduring favorite 13 years on.

***

Anjali (played by Shruti Bisht)

Anjali, fondly known as the team’s young genius, is the Emergency Task Force’s tech prodigy whose intelligence and resourcefulness often prove crucial in cracking tough cases. Despite her young age, she exhibits remarkable maturity and a sharp analytical mind that frequently outshines even the seasoned officers. Anjali is the go-to person for all things technology — whether it’s creating innovative gadgets, hacking into secured systems, or devising ingenious strategies to outsmart criminals. Her inventions, like the GPS-enabled jacket and a remote-controlled camera car, have become iconic tools that aid the team’s investigations.

What makes Anjali stand out is not just her technical brilliance but also her fearless attitude. She confidently holds her ground even in dangerous situations, reminding everyone that courage is not measured by age. Her youthful energy brings a refreshing dynamic to the team, balancing the intensity of their work with moments of levity and innocence. Anjali’s interactions reflect her growth — playful banter with teammates like Karan, the occasional clash of wills with Simran, and her ever-present determination to prove her worth.

Shruti Bisht’s portrayal brings this multifaceted character to life with a perfect blend of cuteness, intelligence, and grit. Anjali symbolizes the power of youth and innovation, emphasizing that age is never a limitation when it comes to making a difference. As Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek celebrates its 13th anniversary, Anjali remains an inspiring figure representing hope, brilliance, and the future of justice.

13 Years of

Samjhey yaa Samjhaaun...

Team Emergency Task Force

Kuchh toh chhut raha hai, Rathore

Duty pasand aur napasand par depend nahi karti hai ACP Rawte.

13th Anniversary Special One-Shot
"Waqt Ka Safar" (Journey of Time)

The ETF office looked a little different that day. Balloons were discreetly tied near the entrance, a faint aroma of fresh flowers lingering. On the glass board in the conference room, someone had scribbled in bold with a marker: “13 Years Strong – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek.”

Camera pans to the entrance –
Footsteps approach (tap… tap… tap…) – ACP Sameer Rathore walks in, files in hand, glancing suspiciously at the minor decorations.

Sameer: "Yeh sab kisne lagaya?"
(Who put all this up?)

Shree (grinning while adjusting a banner): "Sir, aaj toh special din hai… ETF ke 13 saal poore hue hain."
(Sir, it’s a special day… ETF has completed 13 years.)

Rathore: "Kaam ka din hai, yeh party sharty ka koi matlab nahi."
(It’s a work day, this party business makes no sense.)

From the corner, a dry, low voice cuts in.

Arjun: "Let it be, Rathore. Kabhi kabhi… logon ko yaad dilana padta hai ki humne sirf goli aur khoon nahi dekha… kuch pal jeene ke liye bhi hote hain."
(Let it be, Rathore. Sometimes, people need to be reminded that we haven’t only seen bullets and blood… there are moments worth living too.)

Riya walks in behind Arjun, holding a tray with steaming cups of chai.

Riya: "Aur waise bhi, yeh sirf ek chhota sa celebration hai… uss bade kaam se pehle jo hume aaj karna hai."
(And besides, this is just a small celebration… before the big work we have ahead today.)

Camera zooms on Arjun’s face – he raises an eyebrow.

Arjun: "Bada kaam?"
(Big work?)

Shree: (hesitant) "Sir… ek naya case aaya hai."
(Sir… a new case has come in.)

Cue the signature ETF case file drop sound — thud — as Shree places a thick red file on the table.

***

Everyone gathers around the conference table. Liza, adjusting her specs, switches on the projector.

Liza: "Victim ka naam hai Aman Kapoor, 29 saal ka, investigative journalist. Kal raat 11 baje ke aas paas apne flat se gaayab hua."
(The victim’s name is Aman Kapoor, 29 years old, investigative journalist. He disappeared from his flat last night around 11 PM.)

Photos flash on screen — Aman, some investigative articles, a blurred CCTV capture.

Chotu: "Par kidnapping ka case toh local police handle kar sakti thi, ETF kyu?"
(But the local police could have handled a kidnapping case, why ETF?)

Rathore: "Kyuki Aman ka kaam sensitive tha. Uske articles ne kuch bade naam expose kiye hain… politicians, businessmen… aur kuch underworld connections bhi."
(Because Aman’s work was sensitive. His articles exposed big names… politicians, businessmen… and even some underworld connections.)

Arjun flips the file pages quickly, his sharp gaze locking on one document.

Arjun: "Aur yeh dekho… last article ke notes. He was working on something called ‘Operation Trinetra.’"
(And look at this… notes from his last article. He was working on something called ‘Operation Trinetra.’)

Riya: "Operation Trinetra? Yeh kaunsa operation hai?"
(Operation Trinetra? What kind of operation is that?)

Arjun’s jaw tightens.

Arjun: "Pata karte hain."
(We’ll find out.)

Music intensifies — signature ETF theme plays softly in background.

***

Scene shifts — outside Aman Kapoor’s flat. A yellow police barricade. A few cops stand aside as ETF arrives. Camera follows Arjun’s slow walk into the flat.

Sound effects: door creak… faint hum of fridge… ticking wall clock.

Riya: "Sir, ghar mein zabardasti ghusne ke koi signs nahi hain."
(Sir, there are no signs of forced entry.)

Arjun crouches near the coffee table, spots a shattered teacup on the floor.

Arjun: "Ladayi hui hai… par zyada shor nahi hua. Matlab… attacker ko Aman pehle se jaanta tha."
(There was a struggle… but not much noise. Which means… the attacker was known to Aman.)

Shree’s voice from the corner:

Shree: "Sir, laptop missing hai… par charger wahi pada hai."
(Sir, the laptop is missing… but the charger is still here.)

Rathore: "Matlab laptop hi target tha."
(So the laptop was the target.)

A lead brings them to a known informant. Inside a dimly lit interrogation room, a nervous man fidgets under Arjun’s glare.

Informant: "Sir… maine sirf suna tha ki Aman kuch badi deal expose karne wala tha… Trinetra ka link tha… lekin pata nahi kaun tha iske peeche."
(Sir… I only heard that Aman was going to expose a big deal… linked to Trinetra… but I don’t know who was behind it.)

Arjun slams his palm on the table — thap! — startling him.

Arjun: "Soch ke bolo. Har second jo tum waste kar rahe ho… Aman ki zindagi kam ho rahi hai."
(Think carefully before you speak. Every second you waste… Aman’s life is getting shorter.)

The man gulps.

Informant: "Ek naam suna tha… Raunak Shekhawat."
(I heard one name… Raunak Shekhawat.)

***

Fast-paced montage — ETF tracks Raunak to an abandoned warehouse. The camera captures shadows, weapons being loaded, faint whispers.

Rathore: "Positions! Cover from both sides."

Sounds: footsteps… faint metallic click… safety catch off.

Arjun signals silently, then — BANG! — a gunshot rings. Chaos. ETF storms in. Chotu tackles one goon. Shree grabs the laptop bag. Riya covers Arjun’s flank.

Raunak tries to flee — Arjun chases him down a dark corridor. Their footsteps echo — thud… thud… thud… — before Arjun grabs him by the collar, slamming him against the wall.

Arjun: "Aman kahan hai?"
(Where is Aman?)

Raunak smirks but Arjun twists his arm — crack — forcing a scream out of him.

Raunak: "Purane mill mein… godown number 3…!"
(Old mill… godown number 3…!)

***

ETF bursts into the godown. Dim lights, dust in the air. Aman is tied to a chair, gagged, laptop on a table connected to an external drive.

Riya: "Sir, bombs!"

They spot a timed explosive near Aman’s chair — timer reading 00:01:54.

Sounds: beep… beep… beep…

Riya rushes forward, starts disarming it with trembling fingers. Arjun stands protectively in front, gun aimed at the shadows.

Arjun (low voice): "Riya… focus."

Timer ticks down — 00:00:10… 00:00:05… click! — bomb disarmed. Aman exhales sharply as ETF unties him.

***

Case solved, culprits in custody. The team returns to the office. The earlier decorations now seem brighter under the warm light.

Shree: "Sir, ek photo toh banti hai."
(Sir, we need a photo.)

Arjun shakes his head, but the team pulls him in. Camera flashes capture a rare moment — Arjun’s faint smile.

Riya: "13 saal… aur har yug mein aayega ek."
(13 years… and in every era, there will come one.)

The ETF theme swells as the camera zooms out, showing the team together — bruised, tired, but united.

Fade Out.

~The End~

It has been so long, yet everytime we rewatch the episodes, it feels like yesterday. The beauty of the show, the bonds and the style never fades. Arjun will always remain the best show ever made! 🤩

Hands down! Also the amazing fandom we’ve got in here!

When shopping for the best mountain bikes, focus on frame material, suspension type, gear range, and braking system. Aluminum frames offer a balance of strength and weight, while carbon fiber delivers lightweight performance. Full-suspension bikes provide better control on rough trails, whereas hardtails are lighter and more affordable. Choose hydraulic disc brakes for superior stopping power and a wide gear range for climbing steep hills. A good mountain bike should also have quality tires with aggressive tread for better traction. Don’t forget to check the fit and comfort, as proper sizing ensures better handling and less fatigue. These features combined make for a bike that’s ready to tackle tough terrain with confidence.
