With nearly 35 characters carefully cast over a span of six months, the show has been one of the most challenging yet fulfilling journeys for her as a producer. Sargun admits that this project is especially close to her heart, not just as a producer but as a storyteller, because every role, big or small, has been shaped with equal love and importance, making the world of the show feel authentic and alive.<\/p>\n<p>Sargun Mehta, Producer from Dreamiyata, said, \u201cThere are very few shows that television allows you to meet a multitude of characters, each with their own unique story and depth. We\u2019re particularly proud of how this show is crafted from multiple perspectives, making it a rich, layered experience. I think we have had 35 characters casting, It was the toughest we\u2019ve ever had, taking about six months, but we found the perfect actor for every role, even the smallest ones. The idea is that the entire world of the show comes alive, not just the lead characters. I\u2019m really fond of several actors, and every time I see their scenes, I smile. I\u2019m excited to see if the audience feels the same way. We are all excited, and we\u2019ve put our heart and soul into this, and we can\u2019t wait for everyone to see it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With its multi-layered characters, authentic setting, and heartfelt narrative, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan promises to be more than just a television show; it\u2019s an emotional experience that will make viewers smile, cry, and reflect.Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan premieres on 22nd September at 9 PM, only on Zee TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Sargun Mehta reveals the 6-month casting journey behind Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan and says, \u201cWe have had 35 characters casting, it was the toughest we\u2019ve ever had\u201d* Zee TV is all set to present another powerful story with its upcoming fiction drama, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan.
