Zee TV show Piyaa Albela clocks one year

In a time when many soaps are being pulled down within months of going on air, completing one year is definitely an achievement. However, the popular Zee TV show Piyaa Albela has achieved the feat with élan. The show, which began its telecast on 6th March 2017, has been keeping the audience hooked to their television sets since its premiere. With this, it has successfully completed one year of its run.

Actress Sheen Dass, who plays the lead character, Pooja, recalls some amazing moments which she has shared with her co-stars and the crew of the sho. The actress reveals that initially, she did not know how to break the ice with her co-star Parul Chaudhary.


“Initially, I was wondering how Parul and I will be able to share the same room, but as I spent time with her, I realized how wonderful she is. Now, our relationship has evolved and I feel a void on-set if Parul has a day off,” she said.

Talking about co-star Akshay Mhatre, she praises the actor for his passion towards his craft. “I took time to get to know Akshay because he is such a passionate actor and was always deeply involved in his characterization. When Akshay is on set, he is extremely professional but during our free time on sets and otherwise, Akshay is a fun loving person and awesome company to hang out with. He is very sincere and serious about his work and I have imbibed that from him," she said.

The actress also added that the sho has gifted her some good friends. "I am grateful that Piyaa Albela has gifted me some good friends and beautiful human beings like Ankit (Rahul Vyas), Parul Chaudhry (Neelima Vyas) and Akshay Mhatre (Naren Vyas)."

Produced by Rajshri Productions, Piyaa Albela is a love story that revolves around Naren and Pooja. The show features Marathi actor Akshay Mhatre as the male lead Naren while debutante Sheen Das plays the leading lady Pooja.
