Sharad Kelkar: TV Weddings Now Focus On Relationships Over Spectacle

MUMBAI- Actor Sharad Kelkar says wedding stories on Indian television have evolved from grand celebrations to more emotionally grounded portrayals of relationships and marriage.

Kelkar, who plays Arya in Zee TV’s ‘Tumm Se Tumm Tak’, spoke about the changing nature of marriage narratives as the show moves into a wedding track. The actor said the storyline also brings back memories of his early television journey with Zee TV’s ‘Saat Phere’, a show centered on relationships and marriage.

“Coming back to a wedding track on Zee TV after all these years feels strangely nostalgic for me because my television journey also began with a show like ‘Saat Phere’, where relationships and marriage were at the emotional core of the story,” Sharad Kelkar said.

“But honestly, what has changed the most over the years is the way we look at marriage on television today. Earlier, weddings were often treated as just grand celebrations, but now audiences connect more with the emotional reality of relationships, the flaws, the companionship, the struggles, and the choices people make to stay together,” he added.

Kelkar said audiences today value honesty and emotional authenticity in storytelling more than perfection, making relationship-driven narratives more relatable for viewers. (IANS)
