COLORS’ gripping family drama ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’ is about to sweeten the plot with a miraculous changeover. After amassing love for its riveting plot, the hit show which follows the marital journey of opposites IPS Officer Veer (Shagun Pandey) and the lively Bulbul (Shruti Choudhary), will welcome actor Barkha Bisht as Meethi Maai. With the catchphrase ‘meetha meetha bolo’, the new entrant is a graceful godwoman, devoted to Lord Krishna, armed with a bansuri (flute) in one hand and a pouch full of toffees in the other. Fresh from a year of intense tapasya (penance), Meethi Maai returns to her Ajmer ashram, trailing a parade of devotees who swear by her miracle-producing prayers. It seems Lord Krishna has a soft spot for this saint, blessing her with magical powers that leave everyone humbled and awestruck. Will her mystical ways meddle with the already chaotic lives of Veer and Bulbul? Moreover, is she a miracle worker or a mischief-maker? Only time will tell.
Barkha Bisht essaying the role of Meethi Maai shares, “I’m thrilled to make my return to television after so many years, and what better way than with ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’ on COLORS. The role of Meethi Maai is a breath of fresh air – she’s a character that stands out in her uniqueness. As a graceful and witty godwoman devoted to Lord Krishna, she brings a fascinating dynamic to the show. She’s deeply respected for her spiritual strength, having just returned to her Ashram in Ajmer after intense tapasya, yet she’s far from being regressive. Interestingly, Meethi Maai and I share the same life mantra – ‘meetha meetha bolo’. It’s a philosophy I’ve always believed in, and now I get to embody it on screen. As for the differences between Meethi Maai and myself, well, that’s a sweet mystery I’ll leave for viewers to unravel as they watch the show. I can’t wait for everyone to see how she stirs things up between Veer and Bulbul. I can only say get ready for some sweet surprises and more mysteries!”
In the current storyline, Veer and Bulbul hatch a plan to expose Diksha, the former’s meddling and envious sister-in-law, while also finding out about an impending bomb blast. Will Veer succeed in preventing the bomb blast and unmasking the mastermind behind it?
