Prathon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani Apara Mehta Highlights Television’s Enduring Global Impact

Television has always been more than just entertainment it has the power to influence thoughts, spark conversations, and drive meaningful change. Veteran actress Apara Mehta, who has witnessed the evolution of Indian television firsthand, strongly believes in its continued relevance and responsibility. Currently portraying Rajeshree in Sun Neo’s show Prathon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, she shares her perspective on why TV remains a powerful medium today.

“I have personally seen television evolve over the years, and I feel proud to have been part of this journey. Any show that carries a meaningful and positive message always resonates with the audience. Television may not be the same as it was before, but it is definitely not going anywhere. Its reach is massive, and its audience remains large and influential. That is why television continues to be one of the strongest mediums to bring change and spread the right message,” Mehta says.

Highlighting the global appeal of Indian television, she adds,

“I travel across the world for my drama shows, and I’ve seen how closely Indians living abroad follow TV. Many may not watch films regularly, but they remain deeply connected to television. This makes it even more important to showcase today’s realities rather than outdated thinking. In my current show, Prathon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, my character believes girls don’t need education. But through the lead actors and the story, the makers deliver a strong message: girls must be educated. Even today, in many places, girls are still discouraged from studying, and television plays a key role in reaching out with this message.”

Prathon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani follows Ghevar, a spirited village girl from Rajasthan, whose life transforms when fate brings a newborn into her family, connecting two very different worlds. As love, sacrifice, and hidden truths unfold, Ghevar’s journey becomes one of courage and determination to protect what she holds dear.

Television, as Apara Mehta emphasizes, remains a vital platform—not just for storytelling, but for inspiring societal change across India and abroad.
