Come tonight 7:30 pm and Colors is all set to launch their next project titled Choti Sarrdaarni. The show's storyline is all about how there is no greater warrior than a mother protecting her child. It is true when said that the role of a woman is not easy, especially because it is laced with many complexities imposed by culture, society, familial responsibilities, and even self-inflicted fear. Choti Sarrdaarni is the story of Meher, who battles all of the above, and fights fearlessly to become an invincible mother. Karan Oberoi Files a Case Against Investigating Officer to Highlight ‘Biased’ and ‘Defective’ Investigation

Based in Punjab’s Sardool Garh, the show traces the life of Meher Dhillon (Nimrit Kaur), a level headed Punjabi girl who dreams of a perfect ever after with, Manav (Hitesh Bharadwaj), the love of her life. But all her dreams and hopes come crashing down due to unforeseen circumstances created by Meher’s mother Kulwant (Anita Raaj) and she is left to fight her own battles. She then meets Sarabjit Gill, (Avinesh Rekhi) a politician and a single father and her life takes an unexpected turn. Fierce and full of fire, Meher emerges stronger, learns to combat her fears and becomes the protector of her family, a true Choti Sarrdaarni. Khatron Ke Khiladi 10: Bigg Boss 8’s Arch Rivals Karishma Tanna and Gautam Gulati Approached for The Show?

Actress Nimrit Kaur, who will be debuting with the show, reveals, "I feel honored to be giving my acting career such a wonderful start by portraying a character as impactful as Meher’s. She strives to build back her life after falling apart several times and does so gracefully while achieving remarkable feats. She transitions from a simple girl into a Bahadarni – a shield of her children and family. The narrative of the Choti Sarrdaarni is very heart-warming and Meher’s character seemed to be a perfect fit as I am a Punjabi and it was a sweet coincidence to be playing a Sardaarni in the show. I am very excited about this new chapter of my life and looking forward to it.”

Male lead Avinesh Rekhi, who will be seen playing Sabarjit Gill says, “I will be essaying the role of a politician, Sarabjit, who is a single parent and a loving husband. He meets Meher at a crossroad but accepts her with open arms and gives a new meaning to her life.I take immense pride in the fact that I will be the first lead actor to sport turban on television with this show and I hope that I am able to carry it off with absolute grace and respect. The concept of Choti Sarrdaarni is very promising and comes with a powerful message and I am certain that the audience will love me in this new avatar.”

Anita Raj portraying Kulwant Kaur says, “My character in the show, Kulwant, is Meher’s mother who is an authoritative Sarpanch and an ambitious woman. She wants Meher to get married to Sarabjit in a bet to find inroads into the political system and fulfill her longstanding dream of becoming a politician. It's a very strong and interesting character and I am enjoying playing the part of Sarpanch Kulwant Kaur in the show. The concept of Choti Sarrdaarni is very fresh and highlights different shades of a woman that will resonate with the audience."

Hitesh Bhardwaj playing Manav Sharma said, “I am essaying the role of Manav Sharma who is deeply in love with Meher. He comes across as a tough person but also has an emotional side too especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Meher is the centre of his universe and his love for her is unconditional. I am elated to be a part of the show that is backed by a strong concept and exceptional storyline.”

Choti Sarrdaarni is yet another show to add to the list of shows based on social stigma that the channel has launched. The channel can boast of introducing shows like  Shakti…Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki (the leading lady of the show plays a transgender) and Udaan (a show on the concept of bonded labour), which are issues plaguing the society for quite some time now.
