COLORS' presents ‘Queen’, a gripping saga of power, betrayal and revenge

Mumbai, November 14, 2026: Power often protects those who wield it, while the cost is borne by the powerless. When political influence shields the guilty, what chance does an ordinary girl have against those who call the shots? Entering this ruthless game of power, secrets and survival, COLORS presents ‘Queen’, a gripping political drama that follows Neeti, a young girl caught in a battle she never chose. Outnumbered and underestimated, she must find the strength to challenge those who hold all the cards.
At the heart of ‘Queen’ is Neeti, a fiercely protective girl from Gwalior whose world revolves around her sisters and their future. When circumstances shatter her world, she finds herself pitted against an influential political family seemingly above the law. At its helm is Mahendra Pratap Singh Tomar, the ambitious Deputy Chief Minister, who orchestrates Neeti’s marriage into his household to safeguard his political future and family reputation. But bringing her under his roof only draws her deeper into a dangerous web of power, secrets and calculated moves. While Mahendra is determined to protect his political empire, Neeti’s fight is deeply personal - her dignity, her future and the safety of her sisters. Refusing to remain a pawn in someone else’s game, she sets out to challenge the powerful. Can the girl everyone underestimated turn the tables and claim her throne? Produced by Mangalya Production, ‘Queen’ premieres on 16th November at 8:30 PM and airs Monday to Friday, only on COLORS and JioHotstar.
Speaking about her role, Shagun Sharma shares, “What drew me to Neeti is that she doesn’t set out to become powerful; her circumstances compel her to discover a strength she never knew she possessed. Her world revolves around her sisters, and she is willing to risk her own happiness and safety to protect them. Despite being deeply wounded, she refuses to lose her sense of self. Her vulnerability, resilience and courage make her journey incredibly compelling. As an actor, I find her emotional complexity fascinating, especially how her feelings often emerge through the smallest gestures. For me, ‘Queen’ is about a woman fighting to reclaim her agency when life threatens to take it away. I hope audiences connect with Neeti’s resilience, her love for her sisters and the sacrifices she makes, while feeling the emotional weight of seeking justice against those who hold power.”
Talking about his character, Zakir Hussain says, “Mahendra Pratap Singh Tomar is a man who understands power and knows how to use it. As a politician, he is conscious of his public image, but what happens behind closed doors is a different story. What interests me about him is his ambition and his need to protect the empire he has built. Through ‘Queen’, we explore what happens when power and reputation become more important than people. It’s a story that raises an important question: who pays the price when those in power put their own interests first?”
