Believing that funds can be generated from the internal resources and skillset, Ahilya Bai begins the journey of Maheshwar Sarees.

Elaborating on the story, Actress Aetashaa Sansgiri said, “At the start of 2022, the show completed a 1 year milestone which is a huge achievement for the entire cast and crew. The show has showcased many interesting chapters of Ahilyabai Holkar’s life that has not only regaled the audience but has also left us with great learnings that still continues to inspire everybody. Be it the right to education, widow remarriage or women empowerment, she always stood for the right and questioned the norms of the society in order to bring in justice. And, now we are extremely proud to bring forth another inspiring chapter of her life that changed the fortune of Malwa forever with Maheshwari Saree Adhyay’. Not only did the start of Maheshwar Saree benefit the kingdom but also changed the mindset of the people has woman too contributed towards Malwa’s economic growth which empowered and made them feel more confident. Needless to say, Ahilyabai Holkar has made a place for herself in history and I am glad to be able to bring her story to life for the audience.“
