Some stories entertain you. Others shake you.

And Zee TV’s Saru just stepped into the second category—with a bold, emotional storyline that’s raising awareness on the harsh reality of ragging.

A Dream Turns Into a Nightmare

Saru, the sweet and strong-willed girl from a small village in Khares, Rajasthan, finally steps into the big city—Mumbai—with nothing but dreams in her eyes. She’s there to study, to grow, and to create a better future for herself.

But what she didn’t expect?
To become the target of humiliation in her very first days of college.

From Silent Stares to Shocking Humiliation

What starts off as cold shoulders and subtle jabs from her classmate Anika (played by Anushka Merchande) soon turns into a nightmare. In a public act meant to shame and break her spirit, Anika tears Saru’s blouse, with students capturing the moment on their phones—turning Saru’s trauma into a spectacle.

And yet, Saru doesn’t retaliate in rage.
She chooses silence over chaos, grace over breakdown, and stands firm with quiet courage.

The Role of Professor Ved: A Ray of Hope

Enter Professor Ved (played by Shagun Pandey).
He sees through the cruelty. He offers Saru what many students in real life long for—empathy and support.

This bond between teacher and student becomes the backbone of Saru strength. And in a world that often forgets the emotional toll of bullying, this storyline is a much-needed reminder that one supportive adult can truly make a difference.

Mohak Matkar Opens Up: “It Was Emotionally Tough

For Mohak Matkar, who essays Saru, this track was not just acting—it was emotionally intense.

> “Ragging isn’t just a fictional twist—it’s a harsh reality,” she shared.
> “Many students go through this silently. Saru’s strength lies in her calmness. She doesn’t break or fight back with hate. Instead, she finds dignity in holding her ground—with Ved Sir by her side.”

Mohak also hopes the show starts real conversations.

No dream should be broken because of someone else’s cruelty. I hope this track encourages students to speak up, and teachers to stay alert and compassionate.

A Storyline That Matters

At its core, Saru isn’t just a daily soap. It’s a voice for many unheard students especially those who feel isolated and silenced in big institutions far from home.

This track sheds light on:
The emotional toll of ragging

The silent strength of victims
The importance of having supportive mentors
Why it’s vital to speak up and stand with those in pain

What’s Next for Saru?

Will Saru rise above the humiliation and reclaim her dreams?
Or will Anika’s cruelty succeed in derailing her path?

The journey ahead promises intense emotions, powerful lessons, and a whole lot of courage.
