Wagle Ki Duniya: Sakhi and Vivan's engagement hits a new twist as their parents meet for the first time
Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey continues to resonate with viewers through its blend of everyday struggles and tender moments within a middle-class family. As the Wagle household gradually recovers from personal trials—including Radhika's (Bharati Achrekar) memory issues and Sakhi's (Chinmayee Salvi) evolving relationship with Vivan (Namit Shah)—another significant chapter unfolds. Rajesh Wagle (Sumeet Raghvan), always torn between tradition and progressiveness, now faces his most personal challenge yet. In the upcoming episodes, Rajesh takes a cautious yet hopeful step by agreeing to Sakhi and Vivan's engagement, but not without conditions. After witnessing Vivan's sincerity through a 21-day no-contact test and his dependable actions during a family emergency, Rajesh starts to believe in their relationship. However, just as he begins to accept their bond, another twist shakes his resolve: meeting Vivan's parents. As both families come together for the first time, differences emerge—cultural values, social standing, and conflicting life perspectives spark subtle tension. Rajesh, grounded in his modest middle-class upbringing, starts to question whether this alliance truly fits into his world. Sumeet Raghvan, who essays the role of Rajesh, reflects, 'It's a very real struggle many parents go through—the shift from protecting your child to trusting their choices. Rajesh isn't against love; he's just afraid of losing the closeness he shares with Sakhi. Agreeing to the engagement is a big step for him, but meeting Vivan's parents brings in a new layer of doubt and reflection. It's a quiet but powerful test of acceptance, ego, and the ability to adapt as a father. ' With this emotional twist, Wagle Ki Duniya promises viewers yet another heartfelt exploration of parental love, acceptance, and family ties.

Wagle Ki Duniya: Will Rajesh Wagle save his son Atharv from his own destructive choices?
In Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey, emotions run high as Atharv (Sheehan Kapahi) finds himself caught in a web of his own making. Upset at being blamed for his school football team's defeat, Atharv hatches a plan to replace Coach Shukla (Ashutosh Priyadarshini), unaware of the coach's financial hardships and his pregnant wife's condition. Determined to prove his point, Atharv misleads Vice Principal Mr. Bhiwandiwala (Jay Kapdiya) into believing that his uncle Manoj (Vipul Deshpande), despite being unqualified, is a better fit for the role. However, just when Atharv believes things are falling into place, Manoj announces he's moving out of Mumbai for a new job—leaving the school in a lurch and Atharv's plan exposed. The truth surfaces when Coach Shukla reaches out to Rajesh Wagle and reveals the full extent of Atharv's manipulation. Shocked and disheartened, Rajesh is left to confront his son's actions. Sumeet Raghavan, who essays the role of Rajesh Wagle, shared, 'As a parent, Rajesh is deeply shaken by Atharv's actions. It's not just about right or wrong—it's about understanding why a child made a certain choice. Atharv's need to prove himself leads him down a path where he unknowingly hurts someone else, and that hits Rajesh hard. This storyline really highlights the emotional dilemma parents face: how do you support your child while also helping them see the gravity of their mistakes?' As the Wagle family navigates this emotional storm, the show continues to reflect everyday struggles of the middle class with warmth and honesty. Meanwhile, the mystery of the talking crow is also resolved, as Rajesh exposes Subash (Konark Dinkar) as a ventriloquist tricking people for money.

Rashami Desai on delving into Gujarati industry: The positivity that I received from the Gujarati audience is incredible
With a career spanning across mediums, actor Rashami Desai added another feather to her cap with her debut in Gujarati theatre with the play Mrs Mara Online Che. Calling it a new beginning, she says, 'This is the best possible medium of acting where you learn the craft like never before. I have been inclined towards theatre in the past as well, and I am loving every bit of it.' However, performing in front of a live audience came with its own set of challenges. 'The biggest pressure is the fact that it's a live audience. While shooting in other mediums, you can have multiple cuts and retakes, but in the theatre, it has to be perfect in the first and only attempt. You need a tremendous amount of practice and rehearsal and coordination with other actors since the background doesn't change. The stage remains the same,' Rashami Desai shares. Apart from theatre, Rashami recently did a Gujarati film too, titled Mom Tane Nai Samjay. Rekindling her roots and serving her regional audience has been a special feeling for her. 'It feels amazing, and the love and positivity that I received from the Gujarati audience is incredible. It just makes me hungrier to do even better work in this language as an artiste,' she says. While she has worked on all mediums, be it films, television, OTT or theatre, it's the small screen that made her a household name. But it's been a while since she was last seen on it. Apart from small cameos in Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey this year and Naagin 6 in 2022, Rashami's last full-fledged TV role was in Naagin 4 in 2020. Has she bid adieu to the medium for good now? 'I have definitely not quit television,' she states, adding, 'The medium has given me so much and I can only have love and gratitude towards it. If there's anything special that comes to me, I would love to do it. Every artiste can do every medium. Let's be more open about this.' Ask her if the quality of content is the issue due to which she hasn't done a TV show in a while, and the actor says, 'Entertainment industry at the end of the day is business, so when content is made, the commercial angle is taken into consideration. Maybe it's this reason why at times, content on TV might look repetitive. But content is made catering to the preference of the audience. Of course, there's room to do better, but I have full faith in the industry.'
