*ing: Shaalien Malhotra, Kaveri Priyam, Kunal Karan Kapoor, Diljot Chhabra, Aditya Deshmukh and Simple Kaul

It is a romance-driven, youthful show that will revolve around an ensemble of characters - a young team of trained and civilian volunteers who meet at the Parakram SAF (SPL.

Baal shiv  

&TV

*ing: Aan Tiwari, Mouli Ganguly, Siddharth Arora, Shivya Pathania, Krrip Kapur Suri, Praneet Bhatt among others

Mahadev Ki Undekhi Gatha  While there have been several fascinating shows on Lord Shiva and his various roops, one story that has not been shown before on Indian television is the story of his Baal Roop. Aptly positioned as Mahadev Ki Undekhi Gatha, the show Baal Shiv depicts the mythical Katha of the mother and son, Mahasati Anusuya and Baal Shiv and their eternal bond. Considered Infinite and the Unborn, Lord Shiva had taken many avatars, but he had never experienced childhood and mother's love. However, post his marriage with Devi Parvati, Mahadev takes the form of a child to fulfil Devi Parvati's wish and becomes the dutiful son of Mahasati Anusuya.

Wagle ki duniya

Sony SAB

*ing: Sumeet Raghavan, Pariva Pranati, Aanjjan Srivastav and Bharti Achrekar

is a warm, slice-of-life story about Rajesh Wagle - a simple, middle-class family man, who aspires for a better lifestyle for himself and his family, yet is hesitant to take risks and move with the times. Wagle Ki Duniya celebrates the aspirations, new age stories and dilemmas of today’s middle class with humor and positivity. The show emphasises that family values and togetherness is a timeless virtue and brings out the importance of near and dear ones especially at trying times like these.
