Model turned actor Akshit Sukhija has made his television debut with the show Shubharambh. By birth, he is a Punjabi, studied in New Delhi and now resides in Mumbai, but a true Indian youth with a lot of big dreams and confidence to make it big in the channels. During his second visit to Vibrant Gujarat and the first visit to Apna Amdawad, he was overwhelmed with Gujarati traditions, culture, hospitality, and mouth-watering delicacies.
When asked about his modelling career and now acting, the rising star says, “Modelling gave me a lot of confidence to face the camera which paved the way for exploring acting in channels. Being a keen observer, I religiously follow the instructions of the director to portray my character well.”
“Shubharambh is my first show as the lead and I am really excited about it. Earlier, I did the second season of the show Silsila Badaltey Rishton Ka,” says Akshit.
Commenting on his role as Raja, Akshit Sukhija says, “Raja & Rani share an unconventional relationship and believe in each other very much. Rani has become Raja’s strength and they are only growing stronger together. They have faced their hardships, parted ways and come back together. This show gives out a very deep and a beautiful message to the ones who give up on love too soon and redefined the meaning of companionship. Ahmedabad has always been one of my favourite cities. Coming back makes me very happy and we hope our viewers continue to showcase their love and support towards the show.”
Rani aka Mahima Makwana said, “I feel extremely blessed to be a part of the show that encourages people to dream big without worrying about their shortcomings. I believe that when people unite a stronger force is created and then accomplishing any goal becomes easy. Raja and Rani are finding their strengths in each other and growing in life. During our launch, we had shot at ‘Rani ki vav’ and we have had a memorable time in Ahmedabad. We’re excited to be here and am looking forward to savouring our famous Gujarati delicacies. Also, Akshit and Me were extremely proud to see so many Amdavadi couples run at our annual Pinkathon event. Companionship is the key to happiness.”
Love has its strength. When two people who love each other come together, they create magic. Raja (played by Akshit Sukhija) and Rani (Mahima Makwana), on COLORS’ Shubhaarambh, personify this. The adorable couple, who love each other deeply, have overcome several obstacles in the course of the show and emerged stronger each time. The lead cast of Shubharambh in Ahmedabad enjoyed their day experiencing Gujarati traditions, engaging with their fans and flagged off the annual Pinkathon event, which is the world’s largest women’s run. The show focuses on the power of ‘Ek aur Ek gyarah’ and the inseparable couple lived up to this philosophy.
In the current track of Shubhaarambh, Raja and Rani’s relationship will be tested. Viewers will get to see just how strong the bond is and whether it can stand such pressures. Gunwant manipulates Rani by urging her to get the shop on Raja’s name. When Rani agrees to it, Gunwant puts the shop on Rani’s name instead and blames Rani in front of Raja. On seeing Rani’s name, Raja himself is infuriated and asks Rani to leave the house. Does Rani see what Gunwant is up to? Will she leave the house? Will their relationship crumble, or will they again tide over the current adversity?
Along with Mahima Makwana and Akshit Sukhija in the lead role, the show also features Pallavi Rao, Tushar Dalvi, ChaayaVora, Meer Ali, Dipna, Aarjav Trivedi, Zalak Desai, Vaibhavi Mahajan, Padmesh, VaidehiDhanecha, Pratik Rathod and Meghan Jadhav playing in key roles. who are imperfect as individuals but together they discover new horizons of life.

Become a part of Raja and Rani’s special journey as they come together to fight obstacles and demonstrate the true power of love and companionship.
