Renowned filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya is set to unveil a fresh narrative with his upcoming TV show, 'Manpasand Ki Shaadi', diverging from his traditional cinematic themes. The series navigates the evolving institution of marriage by focusing on Aarohi Shinde, who challenges conventional norms in choosing her partner.

Engaging with the clashing ideals of modernity and tradition, Barjatya's latest creation illustrates the complexities faced by families today. With actor Akshun Mahajan in a lead role, the show promises a nuanced portrayal of societal and familial pressures against the backdrop of a modern love story.

The concept, inspired by Barjatya's personal experiences and observations, seeks to resonate with audiences by reflecting contemporary societal shifts. Premiering on Colors TV and JioHotstar from August 11, this production experiments with a Maharashtrian setting, marking a first for Barjatya's projects.
