The story revolves around Shakti (Nikki Sharma), a determined young woman pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor, which was shared by her late parents. Living with her uncle, a priest, and her over-imposing aunt, the tale gains spice with the presence of her influencer cousin, Rimjhim.
Enter the dashing Dr. Shiv Kashyap (Arjun Bijlani), India’s renowned neurosurgeon, whose success hides the pain of a broken heart and anxiety-prone tendencies. Belonging to an influential family that founded the hospital, Shiv’s family dynamics are far from perfect. His father, Raghunath, creates tension with his mother, Gayatri, leading to her estrangement from Shiv. Additionally, Shiv’s paternal uncle, aunt, and their children reside under the same roof, striving to gain control over the family business.
The power of love takes center stage as Shiv and Shakti find themselves intrinsically connected in unexpected ways. Arjun and Nikki’s on-screen chemistry is undeniable, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the unfolding of their characters’ journey. Parineeta Borthakur, portraying Shiv’s aunt, delivers an exceptional performance, while Seema Pandey shines in her role as Gayatri.
“Pyaar Ka Pehla Adhyaya Shiv Shakti” airs Monday to Sunday at 7:30 PM on Zee TV and is available on Zee5 globally.
