Actress Priya Thakur and actor Abhishek Sharrma, the lead pair of Zee TV's popular show 'Vasudha', have opened up about the behind-the-scenes challenges and emotional weight of the show's upcoming grand wedding track, in which their characters Dev and Vasudha begin a deeply significant new chapter together.

What makes this wedding track special

While Dev and Vasudha have been married before within the show's narrative, the current track carries a far more meaningful dimension — the acceptance and blessings of the matriarch Chandrika, who is now bringing the couple together herself.

'The audience has been eagerly waiting to see Chandrika accept Vasudha as her badi bahu, and I think that is what makes this wedding truly special,' Priya Thakur said. 'While Dev and Vasudha may have been married before, having Chandrika's acceptance and blessings, along with the entire family celebrating their union, makes this wedding even more meaningful.'

Abhishek Sharrma echoed the sentiment, saying, 'Dev and Vasudha fans have received the best gift this time! What makes this wedding special is that Chandrika herself is bringing them together and has finally accepted Vasudha as her bahu. It feels like Dev and Vasudha are finally getting their happily ever after, and this is exactly what the fans have been waiting for.'

The challenges of shooting wedding sequences

Both actors acknowledged that while wedding tracks are among the most visually spectacular episodes in Indian television, they come with considerable physical and logistical demands. Heavy bridal lehengas, elaborate jewellery, and marathon shooting schedules are an inherent part of the experience.

Thakur said, 'Wedding tracks are always fun but challenging to shoot, especially with the heavy outfits, jewellery and long hours on set. However, I have always loved being a bride on screen. I enjoy wearing those beautiful, royal outfits and jewellery, even though carrying them for long hours is not easy!'

Sharrma highlighted the role of teamwork in managing these challenges. 'Wedding tracks are always exciting to shoot, but they also come with their own challenges, from the elaborate costumes to the long shooting hours. Thankfully, we have an amazing team that puts in so much effort to make everything come together,' he said.

Grand festivities leading up to the wedding

The show had already treated viewers to a series of pre-wedding celebrations, including haldi, mehendi, sangeet and wedding rituals, building up to the grand union. The elaborate sequences have been described as a visual treat for loyal fans of the Dev-Vasudha pairing.

Thakur added, 'We have had grand wedding functions, and I feel this is a small treat for all the fans who have supported Dev and Vasudha throughout their journey. I am sure our audience will love seeing Dev and Vasudha begin this new chapter together.'

On-set atmosphere and camaraderie

Sharrma also spoke warmly about the ensemble cast and crew, crediting the positive on-set environment for making even demanding shoots enjoyable. 'Everyone is highly professional and supportive, which makes working together so much easier and enjoyable. When you have such a wonderful team around you, even the most challenging scenes become a memorable experience,' he said.

With the wedding track now unfolding on air, all eyes are on how audiences respond to one of the season's most anticipated milestones in 'Vasudha'.
