Hitesh Bharadwaj and Akshita Mudgal roped in as leads for Zee TV’s new show Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain. By Team Viva
A channel known for its thought-provoking narratives that question people’s mindsets about a variety of subjects relevant to Indian society, Zee TV is back with a story that will make audiences reconsider their approach towards women achieving more than their male counterparts. A woman is often told — ‘focus on your marriage, not just your career. If you keep achieving on the career front, it won’t be long before your relationship slips out of your hand.’ And if the woman in question begins to make significant strides at work and is possibly looked upon as more successful than her husband, she is warned that her success could make him insecure and the marriage itself could fall apart. Such is the conundrum of Paragi Parashar, the female protagonist of Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain, who along with her love interest Sanjay Pathak, is preparing for her UPSC exam. While both of them are extremely motivated towards their joint goal of becoming IAS officers, the show captures the dynamics between the two families after Paragi clears her exam with flying colors and Sanjay doesn’t.
Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain will feature popular television actress Akshita Mudgal who will be portraying the role of Paragi, a smart, witty, and studious girl. On the other hand, the role of Sanjay will be played by none other than Hitesh Bharadwaj. Both of them will be seen playing IAS aspirants and the two actors are kicked about being part of such a unique show.
Mudgal shared, “I am very excited to play the role of Paragi in Iss Mod Se Jaate Hain. In fact, as soon as I was approached, I felt that this part was meant for me. I actually look up to IAS officers and being able to play one is really a proud moment. While my character is quite different from how I am in real life, one thing that is common between us is our firm belief in gender equality. If men can prioritize their careers and be unapologetic about the same, why shouldn’t women be accorded similar freedom? Why are women asked to focus on the personal front when they make strides at work and achieve more success than their husbands? Do women not deserve to scale their fullest potential or do we need to curtail our growth to avoid denting the male pride? My character, through her graph, will question some of these age-old thought processes.â€
Bharadwaj added, “I am very eager to play the part of Sanjay as I see a lot of myself in him. He is a well-mannered, hardworking, respectful young man who believes in equal opportunity for all and how success needs to be merit-linked and earned the hard way. He is extremely supportive of women pursuing their dreams and goals and isn’t one to curb their growth. Other than that, his sunny disposition and affable charm are likely to win the hearts of audiences as the story progresses.â€
While it will be interesting to see Bharadwaj and Mudgal’s on-screen chemistry, it will be even more intriguing to know – patni agar ho pati se ek kadam aage, toh kya toot jaate hain rishton ke dhaage?
