In the on-going episodes, Katha, an enterprising woman is seen juggling multiple jobs for her son Aarav (#AjinkyaMishra) who is suffering from blood cancer. Even after working day in and day out to save money for Aarav’s surgery, Katha deals with everything in a positive manner. Just when she thinks everything is going to be fine, the doctor strikes her with bad news i.e to get the surgery done she needs to arrange for 1 crore 48 lakhs in a week’s time.

As the story progresses, viewers will get to see Katha doing everything in her power to ensure her child’s wellbeing. Along with this, Katha will also have to ensure that she doesn’t’ let her architecture project with Viaan go out of her hands, as that too will help her get the desired amount. In the journey, Katha will come across a lot of obstacles at her workplace and from her in-laws as well; but how will a helpless Katha fight against time and arrange for 1 Crore? To what extent will Katha go to save her son?

Getting into the skin of the character, Aditi Dev Sharma who is a mother to a 3-year-old son reveals how she reflected on her own maternal instinct to portray the role of Katha. She shares, “When I was narrated the story, I felt Katha’s pain deep down in my heart. Being a mother myself, I could relate with Katha’s frantic need for money to save her child. For a mother, her child is the most precious and they can do anything for them. Such is the case with Katha who can go above and beyond to ensure her child’s well-being. I try to bring alive the similar bond with my reel son Aarav to show a mother’s endless love and care. I also understand what it takes to raise a child. It is not easy being a single mother who works and takes care of her child, especially when they needs extra care. I salute all these mothers who are superwomen just like Katha, who is tender and soft for her child yet strong while facing life with a smile. She is broken but will not give up and will fight it out till the very end for her son. The upcoming track will see a mother’s plight to keep her son alive as Katha knocks every door possible to arrange for funds; but to what extent will she go will make for an interesting watch. It is a challenging part, but I am glad to be playing it and I know that Katha’s character as a mother will instantly find a connect with all.”
