Being the creative head of Arjun it's him who makes everything on the screen look real and his impeccable direction makes the serial a must watch. Everyone remembers the first episode of Arjun the twists, the interaction between Arjun and Riya, the famous pink pen, then boat chase and of course 'Sadrak?a?aya Khalanigraha?aya' and now the Sharadh scene which had got tears to many eyes, the pain both Arjun and Sameer on losing Roshini and of course the underlying care masked by anger on both sides

He is part of discussion with the writers of the show and it is his vision on which the crux of the story is based. Be it Arjun Suryakant' s Rawte and his pain of losing his wife Roshini Rawte or his equation with Riya and now Sakshi .The friendship turned sour between Sam- Arjun or  personal stories of Chotu, Shree and Ayesha  each of the characters live in Gorky's head. When an episode is written, it is through his guidance and visions that these characters have their interpersonal relationship scene presented to us.

Arjun as a TV series is one of its kind with the right blend of action, emotion, drama, thrill and message associated with every episode. Making each episode different from the other means new locations, new supporting actors, another story .With all these to be taken care , shooting of the episodes is in itself a task as there isn't a fixed location or set for it. In spite all these barriers Gorky and his team has given us a mystery to crack every weekend and of course a thought to ponder on .In addition to these the Suraksha Chakra is the need to today time where they reach out to the wider audience and give tips to manage any emergency situation along with being vigilant .

Arjun- Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek, a one of its kind action thriller, that was created with a vision of not just entertainment but also with thought of spreading message be it of human failures, interpersonal relationship that thrive in situations that seem unlikely and how men and women in uniform live their life on duty and outside it.

ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawte

'Look beyond the obvious' and 'fierce determination' to seek justice is what defines ACP Arjun.. 

A young, good-looking honest cop with razor sharp analytical skills.. His out of the box thinking and no-nonsense attitude has earned him respect and fear within the Police force..

'Tere jaisa yaar kahaan..'- Arjun and Sam.. 

'Roshni was the light that illuminated his life..'

She walked into his life and swept him off his feet.. The young cop fell in love and later proposed marriage to her.. They were living a fairytale romance until she was snatched away from him.. He had watched on as life left her eyes, plunging him into despair and heart-wrenching guilt for the rest of his life..

'Mujhe yunhi karke khwabon se judaa.. Jaane kahan chupke baitha hai khuda..'

Arjun keeps away from all that is beautiful, colourful and reminds him of her.. Seeking revenge for his wife's brutal murder is the sole purpose of his life and is probably the only weak nerve the strong cop possesses..

'Yahaan ke hum sikandar..'

Arjun is now an integral part of the ETF, being their second-in-command.. His unorthodox ways of investigation have earned him his team member's faith and unconditional support.. He in turn is slowly turning into a 'team-man', placing his faith in them time and again..

Be it lending a ear to Chottu as he narrates his tragic childhood or appreciating Shree for having cracked a tough nut, or helping Riya overcome her fear of shooting, Arjun is slowly coming to realise that these are the only people close to being a family that he never had..

His respects Ayesha's abilities for being the responsible cop she is and never once rebuked her when she taunted him for having ruined her cover.. His guilt on being responsible for Sakshi getting shot made him display a soft side of him, which he often keeps under wraps.. He seldom lets his personal differences with Rathore get in the way of their work, and together as a team, they're formidable..

'Brave as a lion and shrewd as a leopard..' He is manipulative and shrewd when it comes to nailing smart criminals.. He never underestimates them; in fact, even appreciates their intelligence at times.. But he knows just when and how to go in for the kill.. 'Uske aage ki ek chaal, main khud hi sochta hoon..'

He has given up on life and lives a reclusive life, fighting criminals and seeking justice for the wronged living up to his oath, 'Sadrakshanaya Khalnighranaya.. 'Kuch log bheed mein ho toh bhi tanha, aur akele ho tab hi akele..'

However, one would often find him brooding in the dark, spending sleepless nights holding on to the one hope that he will avenge his wife's death and rid himself of the guilt he has been bearing on his shoulders.. 'Zindagi mein raahat ki ummed kam hi hai Rathore, lekin mushkil yeh hai ki zindagi aasaani se guzregi bhi nahi..'

Arjun loves kids and harbors a soft corner for them.. Pao bhaji and a hot glass of cutting chai are probably the easiest ways into his heart.. Get to work, ladies.. Samjhe ya samjhaun?!

Shaleen Malhotra.. The handsome, charismatic man with a sparkle in his eyes plays the role of ACP Arjun Rawte.. None could have fit into his shoes as well as Shaleen does..

As the Creative Head, Gorky had once said, Shaleen possesses a certain body language which is Arjun-like.. Be it the 'eyes that speak', the no-nonsense attitude he carries off flawlessly, the penchant for action and adventure or 'the clenching' of the jaw'& 'spinning the pen' as they are known as, are traits he has contributed to the character..

He is just as focused and determined as Arjun when into the character, but one would hardly find him without his trademark cheeky smile..

The man enjoys a massive female fan following both as Arjun and more so as Shaleen.. Well, as quoted by Mrunal Thakur, his co-star, 'Isiliye toh hum aap pe marte hain, ACP Sahab..'

Sameer Dhamsingh Rathod, the chief of Emergency Task Force'.

He is "Rathod" for his second in command ACP Arjun Rawte and "Rathod sir" for the rest of the team...A man of principles...a cop who goes by protocols and would adhere and abide by them at all costs!

Things that could set him on fire were the plight of innocent people and ill treatment of women!

A total 360 degree different from his second in command Arjun who went by his instincts and believed in breaking all rules to reach the goal!

A hot headed second in command, a nerdy techie, an innocent commando, a daring female cop, a bubbly chirpy investigative journalist'.the ETF team was a blend of unique and distinct individuals and definitely needs a strong personality like Sameer Rathod to head them'And steer them to the right direction'.to remind them and wake them up about the duty calls!

He makes them pull up their socks and gets things done in the best possible manner'..He is the only person who can talk back'face to face with ACP Arjun Rawte''..his "Rawte"

An episode doesn't seem complete without Sameer Rathod's "Dammit Rawte"  and Arjun Rawte's  "Kuch toh choot raha hai Rathod"

The trademark dialogs of the super cops add that extra flavour and spice to the episodes and lure the fans into their magical play of words!

Something which candidly comes to my mind is Rathod's super cool full form of ETF - "Experts in todh fodh"

************************************

Once upon a time, long long ago'don't know how long ago, they, I mean Rathod and Rawte were Sam and Arjun, the best buddies''

A tragedy in their lives which snatched away Sam's best friend and Arjun's wife Roshni from them had pulled them apart''Split their friendship to the extent that they now share nothing but cold vibes''Sam and Arjun were lost somewhere and only Rathod and Rawte remain now''The exact reason for the break of friendship is not yet clear but it was shown that Rathod accuses Arjun for Roshni's death!

Anyways, we fans are still anxiously waiting for that part of the story, their flash back to open up!

Aisha, the dare devil lady cop is all set to become his love interest in the near future...Another interesting track which the fans are waiting for!

Behzaad Khan plays the perfect man, the perfect cop and the perfect ETF chief Sameer Dhamsingh Rathod to the T''He is inevitable to the team as well as to the show! 

Credits: Naina




She entered the scene as Nadia, a dancer, but manages to surprise everyone as she reveals that she is, in fact, an undercover cop herself. And soon enough, she ends up joining the ETF as well, and we see a woman who is always ready to face a challenge, and never one to back away. Ayesha Kapoor proves herself to be a strong and fierce officer, not afraid to voice her opinions in front of either Rawte or Rathod. She shows everyone how being a cop doesn't have to only be a man's job, and women can do it as well, as she fights alongside the best as they work to solve each case.






But at the same time, the more sensitive side of Ayesha Kapoor is revealed as well, in the way she slowly begins to break through and befriend Rathod, with the gradually developing friendship between Shree/Chotu/Ayesha, and in how she communicates, manages to get through to some of the victims or the victims' families.  Many fans are eagerly waiting to see the budding relationship between Ayesha and Rathod develop further, to see these two tough, daredevil cops, reveal their more romantic sides😆😳. Ayesha Kapoor has proven herself to be an irreplaceable member, known by her fans as the "Iron Lady", and needless to say, Shital Shah is doing a fantabulous job!

Sakshi Anand : An investigative journalist and deputed into ETF for making the public aware of ETF's work. Her entry and her purpose of being in ETF was always under scanner but yet she won many hearts with her magical smile. She swept away our hearts with her childlike antics and charming acts. She was brought in to bring a smile on the stern ACP Arjun Rawte's face and their chemistry sure started off bang on creating magic.

She was brave and daring enough to put her life in danger to save another innocent life though that didn't come into the realms of her duty.

She is the fun loving kind of girl who faces every problem bravely without a frown.

 

However chirpy and bubbly she was, behind that smile and the happy mask, there sure was a pain and a sorrowful past. There were small hints to it but nothing much was explored leaving a big question mark on what it was. It was something concerning her totally paralyzed father but we didn't get to see what her background story was and why she landed up in ETF. Her mission in ETF remained under wraps till the very end.

 

"I do believe you" was one of her brilliant scenes with Arjun where she showed her ultimate empathy and compassion towards Arjun. A scene which showed that both sailed on the same boat in life though their ways to deal with it was extremely opposite. It would have been magical and so very interesting to watch the opposite poles getting attracted to each other but unfortunately it had to end abruptly.

Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant. 

And when you are "the" IT boy of Emergency Task Force, you know you've signed your life away.

From tracking a criminal to gunning them down, he does it all.

A genius tech expert, a remarkable and probably the youngest ETF member, funny, playful yet compassionate.. meet our ETF tech expert, Sreekanth Sen urf Shree.

Surrounded by beeping computers and his gadgets, you'll find him sitting in his own little cubicle; probably keeping a tab on some criminal.

Or cracking jokes with Saakshi, Chotu and Ayesha. Don't be surprised if you find him pulling a prank on Chotu, his best friend in ETF (Ofcourse, after his gadgets, duh).

Episode seems rather dull without a Choree moment. Let it be his horror movie nights with Chotu or spying on the ACP's and their lady love; Choree are a delight to watch. 

Even though the other two ACPs won't admit, their banters do amuse them and maybe, remind them what they used to have earlier.

Or you might find him working overnight with ACP Arjun Rawte, the only khadoos in his life. If ACP Rawte is the megamind, Shree is his minion. While discovering an earthquacking theory, Arjun needs his IT boy to pull up some information. Let it be finding out someones phone records, credit card details or make a fake identity, Shree works as his right hand. And sometimes, we are entitled to say "ACP sahib, bacche k jaan loge kya?"

And surprisingly, Arjun acknowledges that. Shree is the only person who got a proper "Thank You" or "Good Job" from our Khadoos ACP.

Shree is indeed, Arjun's favorite.

He is not only a brilliant tech expert but also a master of disguise too. Whether acting as a college student or a madrasi, he is, hands down, a pro. And he looks adorable as always.

He might be the cutest nerd in town, but he is an amazing human being as well. He might joke around a lot, but we did get to see his vulnerable and emotional side when Riya died. We were left awed when in one of the episodes; he showed compassion with physically disable patients in a hospital.

But yes, don't underestimate him given his cute looks and friendly nature, when mad or challenged; yeh specky in lungi tumhari pungi bajayega ji.

Shree respects his chief and his second in command; in fact he even voiced it out. Both of them scare the heck out of him, but Shree knows, it's only for his own good. So he calmly deals with all the "dammit!" and "Samjhe ya samjhau?" that comes at his way and gets the work done.

He is a caring friend; we all know that by now. You're guaranteed to have a good time going "awww, he's so cute!"!

And he is obsessed with gadgets. Why? Well, first he is a techie, and techies love their gadgets more than their own children. And I kid you not. 

Apart from that, there will be a backstory of his family, his struggle and why he became what he is now; (courtesy: Gorkyji). 

We are eagerly waiting for it as well as to see the sparks fly between him and our ETF forensic expert, Liza D'cruz. Spoilers say, she might be his possible love interest.

As far now, all we know is that they went to the same college. They were rivals, always fighting for the 1st position. Even in ETF, we'll see them glaring at each other or delivering a sarcastic comment or two; which is, in my opinion, a treat!

She calls him "Specky Sen" and he calls her "aafat". 

A nerdy tech with gadgets and a gorgeous forensic expert with scalpels; how cute!

Siddharth Sen plays the character Shree and I gotta admit, I don't think anyone else would be able to do justice to the character as he does. He is brilliant and brings out the best which leaves us awed and glued to our screens.

Kudos to him and the writers for giving us Shreekant Sen urf Shree.. the genius tech of all time, backbone of ETF.

Hein koi jo lamba sa chaura sa tha,

Hein koi jo bahut baara sa dikhta tha,

Naam that ouska Chandrakant Patil,

Lekin pyar se sab bulate the ousse Chotu

Ouska pehla pyaar hein ouska doggy,

Jisse woh bulate tha Ruby

Doosra pyaar tha khana,

Jiske bina ouska nahin hota guzara

Aur shayad ouska teesra pyar tha ouski 11:30 wali,

Jisne milna tha abhi baki

ETF mein sab ousse jante the Chotu ke naam se,

Rathore sir se dartein the,

Aur Arjun sir se kuch zyada hi dartein the,

Shree ke saath masti kartein the,

Ayesha se pehle cheertein the, lekin ab dost bangaye

Sakshi ke saath haasi mazak kartein the

Aur Liza ke saath wedding dreams bhi kartein the

Finally thi Riya jo tha ouska dost,

Jiske marne sa hua ousse bara dard

Naam tha ouska Chotu...

Jo intelligent shayad nahin tha,

Lekin bahut tha pyara...

Liza D'cruz is the forensic expert of ETF. She digs out evidences and clues from the specimens and blood sample collected from the crime scene. She is smart, bubbly and confident..

Within her lies a sharp brilliant mind which can hunt down the smallest of smallest clues through analytical and scientific methods!

She has an amazing rapport with the entire team and bonds well with the other ladies in the team as well!

But her chemistry with Shree stands apart right from her entry episode!

She is Shree's college mate..no no not friends any day!..They could kill each other before accepting that they share a friendship bond...

Friendship would run miles away from what they share with each other..They always stood as rivals competing for the first place in college.In ETF, nothing changes that trait in both!

Friendship, Enmity, Hatred, Love...or may be a blend of all that in incorrect propositions...perhaps yes, thats what they share!

She keeps addressing him as Specky Sen just to annoy him and she succeeds in it as well..They complement each other with snide sarcastic remarks and never leave a chance to taunt each other!

Both are always at loggerheads and every conversation ends in an argument of sorts..

Their nhok jhoks are a real treat to watch and keeps the fans wondering when and how these strong headed intellectual logger heads would eventually fall in love? They seem to share a thin line of love hate relationship!

"Will they ever fall in love? Or are they already in love but yet to realize it??" these are other big questions.

And if yes how would their equations and chemistry change..However it happens, it would definitely be a treat..absolute and perfect treat!

Ritu Chauhan plays the role of the forensic expert Liza and she carries it off perfectly fitting every requirement that the role demands from her.

She isn't a new face to television..She has acted in shows like Yahan Ke Hum Sikander as Ranjana, Mein Laxmi Tere Aangan Ki as Ronika!

Though not into direct field work and hard core investigation, she is an inevitable part of the ETF team and the show!

Roshni Arjun Rawte. Deceased wife of Arjun Suryakant Rawte.

Roshni, meaning "brightness".. As the name itself says, she was the brightness of Arjun's life.

The most beautiful and loving wife anyone could get!

The beloved wife of ACP Arjun Rawte. She was a charming woman with an aura that bewitched the tough cop at his door steps at their very first meeting. They met through their common friend Sameer Rathod, during her visit to Mumbai. When Sameer could not receive her and she had to stay in Arjuns house.

She was a beautiful woman made Arjun fall in love with her at first sight. As the viewers we have witnessed many shades of the woman onscreen.

She was a woman, who filled his life with undying love and happiness. She was a lively woman who symbolized 'roses' and 'colors' as 'love' and 'passion' in their live that proved her inodorous love for her husband. A woman who believed in God and duty, a perfect friend and a wife. She was literally the 'ray' that brightened his life with some very inerasable memories.

But unfortunately she was brutally murdered by a criminal, Sikander, and left Arjun in mid way of life with haunting nightmares that keeps him awake with uncountable sleepless nights. Her decease turned him into a living corpse and left him with rage and thirst of revenge. She is what made him as well as broke him. Roshni , the woman gives A different shade to ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawtes life . Now Arjun is only living with the goal of giving justice to her.

The role of Roshni Arjun Rawte was played by the bold actress Samiksha Singh , who portrayed the role flawlessly. As her naughtiness and smile melted thousand hearts, at the same time her neat less performance in the heart wrenching scene of Roshnis murder left us viewers misty eyed. 

Roshini is played by Samiksha Jug who had actually made her debut with Telegu movies and even won the best debut award. She has also done a serial for Sahanra One called as Zarra-pyar ke saugat. She appeared as a model for many print commercials for reputed brands like Kit-Kat, Monte Carlo, American Express Card, Amway, World Gold Council, Mother Dairy, Havell's switch and T.V commercial's like Johnson baby prickly heat powder, Hyundai Xing, Sunsilk and Metro tyres, Univercell mobile.

Samiksha was also seen playing the role of Nilanjana Roy in the popular daily soap Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli on Zee TV.

Samiksha has played the character of Roshini so beautifully that it's difficult to imagine that anyone else could have played that character, the kind smile, those beautiful eyes and that innocent face has not only captured the heart of our ACP but also of all the viewers.

She was the research specialist and only female in the original 5 member team of Emergency Task Force (ETF). The features distinguished her from the rest was obviously her percentage talks which made others roll their eyes, and that dimpled smile that flashed to all. One look at her and anybody can mistake her to be a weakling in a male team who needs support at every step, adding to it was her lack of experience of field. Like every character, she had both flaws and beauty; she was compassionate, be it to her friends who always stick with her, or maybe her Boss who put on a mask of indifference and rudeness, taunting her for her incapability. She respected seniors, but never kept quiet when they underestimated her, as  once she had said to the second in command, ACP Rawte, "Aurat ki quabiliyat pe kabhi shaq nahi karna chahiye" (Never question the capability of a woman). In the first place, she never brings herself to shoot someone, even if the person was a criminal or he was a potential threat on her life. She had to, once, when ACP Rawte tricked her to do so, but after that she broke down completely, feeling guilty to kill a person. He made her understood that "Tumne ek jaan li nahi, ek jaan bachai hain" (You didn't kill someone, but saved one). She was well trained in martial arts, a glimpse of which we can see in famous Kalki Devi case, where she tackled a guy rather boldly who tried to misbehave, earning jaw dropping expressions from her friends and eye rolls from her seniors. She constantly tried to improve, politely asking her seniors where she is going wrong when she was having difficulty to work on a case and taking in details. She wished one day she could see accurately the details of things, just like ACP Rawte did. But sadly, she did not live to see herself improving; she sacrificed her life for country during a case, gulping a fatal bacteria and saving thousands lives.

There was something really endearing about her which attracted the viewers, maybe it was her determination to prove herself against all hurdle, maybe it was her heart which felt for the victim's family and questioned the criminals how they can do something so brutal, maybe her immense faith in God, or maybe her OCD about hygiene freakiness which never allowed her to drink water except for sealed bottles. Outside her work, she was just like any normal girl, spending time with her friends, excited about her favorite actor's film premiere, having crush on him yet mistaking it as love, and crying buckets when he died. Sana Khan, who rose to fame after her last serial, "Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon?" portrayed her role with perfection, breathing life to the character of Riya Mukherjee and made it memorable in viewer's mind.

She was a smart and intelligent research specialist but had no experience in field work when she joined ETF. She was confident, attractive and sensitive. Her two best friends Shree and Chotu often teased her about her shooting skill and that had often hurt her. Little did they know that it wasn't that she couldn't shoot but her sensitive nature made her hesitate to take another person's life, even if that person was criminal ready to shoot her first.




She conquered her fear of shooting the criminal in front of her thru ACP Arjun Rawte by talking to her, he made her understand that when she raises her gun to kill it is to kill the person who has wronged another and that if she didn't shoot them, they would shoot her first. Perhaps this was also the moment when the tough ACP Rawte started softening towards Riya Mukerjee.




Her friendly nature won over even the tough seasoned cops Arjun Rawate and Sameer Rathore.

She was obsessed with hygiene and cleanliness which never failed to amuse her two best friends.



Her death was a shock to the whole ETF team and it impacted each of them deeply.



Sana Khan portrayed Riya so well that we will never be able to forget her as Riya and will always miss her presence in the show.

Better known as Karan aka Robin Hooda.. He was seen in the revamped season of Arjun-Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek,after the death of the whole ETF team in the deadly bomb blast. He accompanied Arjun,who resigned from the police force and both of them started to solve case on their with the help of local people... He addresses Arjun as "Shera" and is a very good friend of him.. Likes Simran and is a harmless flirt.. Together they form the pair, "Karan-Arjun."

A fun-loving,bubbly,chirpy and helpful in nature.. That is what Simran is... Dreams high of becoming a successful actor,she meets with Karan and Arjun and starts solving cases with them. Sometimes,she used dress as an undercover for solving cases. A big dramatic yet with a golden heart..Shares a good camaraderie with Arjun and Karan.

Referred as "Einstein" by Arjun. Small version of Shree.. A computer-gadget freak. She met Arjun when Arjun became the physical education instructor at her school. She couldnt walk properly as she had some problems with it. Since then,Arjun and bonding started. Sometimes,Karan used to get shocked seeing her intelligence.. She used to address Arjun as "Mr.Arjun."
