COLORS lights up a new dawn of dreams with ‘Seher Hone Ko Hai’ — a mother’s quest to give her daughter the wings she never had

Mumbai November 28, 2025: “Jab milegi sapnon ko udaan aur beetega raat ka peher, tab hogi umeedon ki Seher...” Some stories begin in darkness - shaped by silence, tradition, and burdened by wounds passed down through generations like an inheritance. Yet, every darkness waits for its dawn. Staying true to its legacy of socially rooted storytelling, COLORS presents ‘Seher Hone Ko Hai’, a stirring saga of a mother who was forced into marriage at a very young age and now refuses to let history repeat itself. Determined to give her daughter Seher the freedom she never had, she stands by her dreams of getting an education and building a career. The battle to give her that opportunity is where this story begins. In the poetic lanes of Lucknow, Kausar fights to make Seher a doctor and set her free. But standing in her way is Parvez, Seher’s orthodox father, who plans to marry her off to Osmaan’s grandson Mahid, the heir to an influential family, even as Mahid seeks treatment from Dr. Farid, a man of science. As Kausar races to save Seher from being married off to Mahid, the young girl stands at a perilous crossroads—will she rise into her own dawn, or be pulled back into the darkness her mother lives in? Starring Parth Samthaan as Mahid, Rishita Kothari as Seher, Mahhi Vij as Kausar, Vaqaur Shaikh as Parvez, Apurva Agnihotri as Dr. Farid, and Deepak Qazir as Osmaan, ‘Seher Hone Ko Hai’ premieres on the 2nd of December, airing every day at 10:00 pm only on COLORS and JioHotstar.
Parth Samthaan, on returning to television and essaying the role of Mahid, says, "Mahid is a beautifully conflicted soul, torn between the expectations of a revered family and the unresolved wounds of his childhood. His encounter with Seher becomes the turning point in his life, pushing him to confront the man he truly is, rather than the one he was shaped to be. This is definitely not your boy-next-door character — in fact, it’s the most challenging role I’ve ever done so far. Mahid is wounded, scared, and emotionally unstable, yet he lives by a strong sense of justice, helping whoever is in need and punishing the culprit in his own way. He believes Allah has sent him into this world with a purpose of protecting the vulnerable and ensuring that justice is served. Returning to television with a character, this layered feels incredibly special, and I look forward to the audience embracing him with the same love and support they’ve always shown me."
Mahhi Vij, playing the role of Kausar in COLORS’ Seher Hone Ko Hai, shares, “Coming back to fiction with Kausar feels like coming home, both as an actor and as a mother. Kausar’s journey moved me the moment I heard it. I’ve worn many hats over the years: a performer, a reality-show winner, a woman who has learned to turn setbacks into strength—and this role asks for every one of those truths. What I love most is the quiet, unstoppable courage with which Kausar fights to give her daughter the life she never had. As a mother, that sentiment is so primal to me: wanting better, wanting brighter, wanting freedom for your child even if you never had it yourself. This role is my tribute to mothers everywhere and their infinite capacity to love, to fight, and to reshape the futures of the children they raise.”
Rishita Kothari, stepping into the title role, expresses, “Playing Seher is an honour because she represents countless girls who dream with a silent fire. Her dream of becoming a doctor is a continuation of a dream Kausar never got to chase. Raised in a world where even wanting an education can be dangerous, Seher survives by staying gentle, observant, and deeply resilient, and what moved me most is how she learns to navigate life with both fear and hope. Transitioning from the digital world to this powerful television role has been overwhelming in the best way. Working with Mahhi ma’am is truly a blessing; every scene teaches me something new about this craft. I hope through this character I can inspire the courage to believe in your own light among girls.”
