Mumbai: Colors has come up with new fiction drama Agnisakshi... Ek Samjhauta follows the lives of a couple whose marriage is approaching its end.
It follows Jeevika (Shivika Pathak), whose dream of starting a new life with her husband Satvik (Aashay Mishra) is shattered on the first night of their marriage.
The show, produced by Pichchar Studio, premieres on 23 January and will air every Monday through Friday at 9 pm. on Colors.
Viacom18 Hindi Mass Entertainment chief content officer Manisha Sharma said, “We, at Colors, are driven by the endeavour to create and present content that is diverse and engaging. With Agnisakshi… Ek Samjhauta, we hope to underline how the traditions related to matrimony are embedded in our cultural fabric. This unique tale begins with a divorce rather than love. It will be interesting to watch the journey of characters as they traverse through the grey areas of marriage. We are happy to collaborate with Pichchar Studio for this show and we hope that this complex, yet interesting journey of Jeevika and Satvik will touch a chord with the audience.”
Agnisakshi... Ek Samjhauta is a story that follows the lives of Jeevika Rane and Satvik Bhosle, two polar opposite people who are brought together by fate and coaxed into a matrimonial union by their families. Unlike Jeevika, Satvik is opposed to the marriage, and in an unexpected turn of events, he hands over the divorce papers to his spouse on the first night of their marriage. Jeevika is a daydreamer who longs for a fairy-tale love story and the opportunity to start a family with the person she adores. Satvik, on the other hand, has given up on the idea of love and happiness, and his only ambition in life is to fulfil his father's wishes.
Producer Srividya Raj said, “We usually see marriages that start with love but Agnisakshi… Ek Samjhauta is a unique love story which starts with divorce. We are excited about collaborating with Colors for a story that explores the nuances of marriage and familial relations. What sets the show apart is the unpredictable turn of events that unfold after the marriage and divorce.”
Talking about his character Aashay Mishra said, “Satvik’s character is an extremely intriguing one as there are several shades to it. Our show Agnisakshi is all about a marital bond between Satvik and Jeevika and how their relationship blossoms over a period balancing the unevenness between them is something worth watching for our audience. I am delighted to join the Colors family and I hope the viewers will support us in this brand-new journey.”
Talking about her debut Shivika Pathak said, “I am extremely grateful to mark my debut with Colors and bag such a dynamic role in Agnisakshi. My character Jeevika is a very simple family-oriented girl, full of life who believes in the institution of marriage and desires to have a happy one. The show trails a unique love story of Satvik and Jeevika which begins after a life-altering decision of divorce. I hope the audiences connect and become a part of this splendid journey and shower their love always.”
