New Delhi: Teri Meri Ikk Jindri, love story of Mahi and Jogi is set against the backdrop of Amritsar and revolves around two polar opposite people who fall in love with each other. While Jogi is carefree and philosophical who refuses to be part of rat race, Mahi on the other hand is ambitious, focussed and follows her passions. How the two meet and fall in love makes the crux of the story.
As far as their professions go, Jogi holds a degree in Agriculture and cattle raising and runs a dairy in Amritsar. His mantra in life is is ‘Insaan paison se nahin, khushiyon se ameer hota hai’ and he celebrates small things in life.
Mahi on the other hand balances housework with her career. She is the first girl in Amritsar to drive a taxi for female passengers and aims to start an all-female cab service. She lives by the motto ‘apne shauk ko vyavsai banao.’
Amandeep Sidhu who plays Mahi said, “I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better character than Mahi to essay as my first lead role. I knew that I was perfectly fit for the role of this spirited Punjabi girl and was really thrilled to begin exploring her journey. I love her zeal to contribute to the family for a better life and her deep sense of passion to achieve things matches mine. This particular characteristic of Mahi really helped me connect to her personally. The most exciting part was shooting in Amritsar and Patiala for the show. I thoroughly enjoyed flagging off the women’s car rally, especially driving towards Saddi Havelli with so many excited and independent female drivers who are truly all-rounders as they not only manage household work but also contribute to the family just like Mahi. It was a truly a celebration of womanhood and I salute the spirit of these women. I really hope to once again visit Amristar and spend some more time in this city that feels like home.”
Popular TV actor Adhvik Mahajan who plays Jogi shared, “Jogi as a character is very different from all the other roles that I have enacted. Ofcourse, while there is a very colourful and peppy Punjabi side of him that I absolutely resonate with, there is also a very profound aspect to his personality that makes him different from the rest. He doesn’t dream or aspire big but manages to find utmost joy in the simplest of things which honestly, I find to be a very evolved trait in him. Viewers have really appreciated my earlier performances and characters and I am very sure that Jogi will find a place in their hearts as well. Sharing his experience of visiting Amritsar, Adhvik mentioned, “Shooting in Amritsar and Patiala was like coming back home. Taking the edge of the cold off, the people here have been extremely warm and welcoming, and it was such a delight to see their love pouring in. Along with paying a visit to my extended family, I also took the chance to relish and gorge on the amazing food of Amritsar. I truly believe the food you get to eat here is like no other, especially the lassi which I tried at numerous dhabas. I have enjoyed every bit of being a part of this city and I do hope the people of Amritsar shower immense love towards my character and our show.”
Teri Meri Ikk jindri is set to premiere on January 27, 2021 and the show will air every Monday to Saturday at 8 pm on Zee TV
