You have probably seen Sharad Kelkar in tons of films and web series, right? Known for his killer voice and acting chops, he’s making a big comeback with ZEE TV’s new show Tum Se Tum Tak. And guess what? In this show, he’s romancing a girl 27 years younger than him!
Indian society often sets rules for relationships—age, money, social background, all that jazz. But love? It doesn’t care about those boundaries. It just finds its way, breaking all the norms. ZEE TV, always known for fresh and bold stories, is bringing this vibe with Tum Se Tum Tak, a show that beautifully captures a unique modern-day romance.
The story revolves around Anu and Aryavardhan. Anu’s a 19-year-old middle-class girl from Delhi, full of dreams and heart. Aryavardhan, on the other hand, is a 46-year-old super successful, grounded businessman. They’re worlds apart in age, lifestyle, and status, but love sneaks in and challenges every rule society throws at them.
Produced by Studio LSD Pvt. Ltd., Tum Se Tum Tak kicks off on July 7, 2025, airing every night at 8:30 PM on ZEE TV and ZEE5. Sharad Kelkar plays Aryavardhan, a charming yet down-to-earth businessman whose wisdom and humility win everyone over. Despite his wealth and status, he values relationships above all. Niharika Chouksey steps into Anu’s shoes—a lively, honest girl who loves her family and dreams big. For her, trust is everything, and that’s what forms the foundation of her bond with Aryavardhan.
The show’s launch event was super emotional. Guests shared their own unique love stories, proving that every relationship is special in its own way. The lead pair, Anu and Aryavardhan, were introduced, followed by the music video that gave a peek into the depth of their bond. Then came a special audio-visual screening, offering a glimpse of this heartwarming love story.
Mangesh Kulkarni, ZEE TV’s Chief Channel Officer, said, “Tum Se Tum Tak brings a fresh perspective to our lineup. It’s packed with emotions and connection but told in a totally unique way. Keeping our promise of ‘Aapka Apna ZEE TV,’ we’re excited to bring more stories like this that resonate with our new brand identity.”
Producer Pratik Sharma from Studio LSD added, “Our partnership with ZEE TV is built on trust and a shared love for storytelling. Tum Se Tum Tak is another step in that direction. We’re confident in its unique concept and emotional depth. Having actors like Sharad Kelkar and Niharika Chouksey is a matter of pride. Shooting in Delhi gave the story an authentic vibe, and the whole team poured their heart into making it special. We can’t wait for the audience to experience it.”
The title track, sung by Javed Ali and Palak Muchhal, adds a soulful touch to the story.
Sharad Kelkar shared, “ZEE TV feels like home. Shows like Sindoor Tere Naam Ka and Saat Phere gave me my start, and coming back after 16 years feels amazing. After an eight-year break from TV, picking the right project was key, and Tum Se Tum Tak just clicked. The story’s different, full of emotions, and backed by an awesome team—ZEE TV, Studio LSD, Pratik Sharma, and a stellar cast and crew. I’m pumped to play Aryavardhan and bring his world to life. Hope the audience loves it as much as we loved making it.”
Niharika Chouksey called the show super special, saying, “It gave me a new family. Shooting never felt like work. I bonded the most with Soma Rathod, who plays my mom. Working with someone as experienced as Sharad ji was such a learning experience, and I’m so proud to share the screen with him.”
Soma Rathod, who started her career with Lapataganj, plays Anu’s mom. She said, “I’m a middle-class housewife in the show. People loved my comedy before, and they’ll get some sweet-and-sour humor here too. I won’t let my audience down!”
Vandana Pathak, famous for Khichdi’s Jayshree, is back on TV as Sharad’s mom. She shared, “The script hooked me instantly. It’s such a beautiful story. If I didn’t do it, someone else would’ve, so I took it as a blessing from above.”
Niharika mentioned that shooting in Delhi was hectic—real locations and managing crowds was tough, but it was a blast.
Now, it’s up to the audience to decide if this show becomes a hit or not. After all, they’re the ones who make or break a show.From Team Deshwale, tons of best wishes to ZEE TV and the Tum Se Tum Tak team for their amazing show!
