Veteran actor Neelu Vaghela joins COLORS’ ‘Suhaagan’ as Shanti Shukla, promising a big twist

Enthralling viewers since its premiere, COLORS’ romance drama ‘Suhaagan’ arrives at a pivotal junction in its tale of Bindiya (Garima Kishnani), Payal (Sakshi Sharma), and Krishna (Raghav Thakur) tied together in a love triangle that gets complicated as Samay (Sahil Phull) enters their lives. In the current track, Samay and Bindiya are developing a bond which is getting stronger day by day making Krish jealous and insecure. Amidst this, popular actor Neelu Vaghela is set to bring a whirlwind of excitement into the show as she steps into the shoes of Shanti Shukla, Samay’s mother. With her arrival in the lives of Bindiya and Krish, the plot is about to take an exhilarating turn as she is very protective of her son Samay.

Shanti Shukla is a soft-spoken woman, who wields a sharp tongue when provoked, especially by Indu, Krishna’s mother. Her love for her only son, Samay, knows no bounds, and she fiercely defends him and her dignity without compromise. Following the untimely demise of her husband Bhushan when Samay was just thirteen, Shanti found solace in her brother-in-law Baldev’s ancestral home in Barabanki. However, she moved back to Bangalore following clashes with Indu over family affairs and personal differences. Now that she’s back in Barabanki, will Shanti and Indu reconcile, putting aside their past differences, or will their conflict escalate, affecting the dynamics among Bindiya, Payal, Krishna, and Samay?

Talking about joining ‘Suhaagan’, Neelu Vaghela says, “It’s an absolute pleasure to be reuniting with COLORS, a channel that truly feels like home. Being part of the show Suhaagan is incredibly exciting, especially considering the immense love has been receiving from the audience, keeping them glued to their television screens. Personally, Shanti’s journey resonates deeply with its blend of gentleness and resilience, striking a chord within me. I’m thrilled about taking the audiences through her journey and the twists her entry brings to the story.”
