The deep impression that family serials left on the hearts of the viewers during the golden era of Indian television remains intact even today. The lead onscreen pair of 'Kusum' i.e. Nausheen Ali Sardar and Anuj Saxena, one of the most popular and prestigious serials of the small screen, have once again made the fans emotional by coming together on the auspicious occasion of Diwali. This heart-touching reunion of this famous TV couple after a long gap of years was seen during a special family Diwali get-together. The two stars not only had a lovely time with each other but also had a great time with their other old co-stars from the show. As pictures and videos of this meeting surfaced on various social media platforms, there was a flood of nostalgia among TV viewers of the 2000s.
In the video that is fast going viral on the internet, the same old effortless chemistry of Nausheen Ali Sardar and Anuj Saxena, which once kept crores of Indian families glued to the television screen every evening, is being seen. Nausheen has shared some beautiful glimpses of this special celebration from her official Instagram account, after which fans are continuously expressing their happiness through comments. After a long time, seeing both the actors laughing and smiling like this and reliving old memories with each other was no less than a big surprise for the audience. Many users wrote that this video has completely brought alive the beautiful memories of their childhood and early days.
During this spectacular Diwali celebration, the look of both the actors looked very attractive and full of traditional style. Actress Nausheen Ali Sardar was wearing a very beautiful blue colored saree on this occasion, in which her decency and grace were clearly visible. Actor Anuj Saxena looked dashing and handsome in a classic black suit and formal white shirt. Both the stars were seen posing smilingly in front of the camera and laughing openly with each other over old things. Even after so many years, their bonding and screen presence looked as impressive as it used to be during the initial episodes of the serial 'Kusum'.
The celebration was further enhanced when other old faces of the show also attended the Diwali get-together. Popular actress Rucha Gujarati, who played the important role of Kusum and Abhay's onscreen daughter 'Kali' in the serial, also became a part of the party. The entire cast danced together on the evergreen song 'Bole Chudiyan' from the Bollywood blockbuster 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'. In the video, Nausheen, Anuj and Rucha are seen dancing with full enthusiasm and performing signature steps. This carefree and fun-filled style of the artists has won the hearts of netizens on social media and people are sharing this video a lot.
The serial 'Kusum', made under the banner of television queen Ekta Kapoor's production house Balaji Telefilms, started in May 2001. This was the period when 'Kusum' had created a completely different and sensitive identity among the serials like 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' and 'Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki'. This story of the struggles and family values of Kusum Deshmukh, a simple but self-respecting girl from a middle-class family, had connected the audience emotionally. The love story of Kusum and industrialist Abhay Kapoor in the serial, the ups and downs between them and the subsequent family twists kept the show on the top of the TRP charts.
The show ended in November 2005 after entertaining the audience for more than four years. There were many ups and downs during the show and later there were changes in the cast, but the pair of Nausheen Ali Sardar and Anuj Saxena always remained in the minds of the audience as the real 'Kusum and Abhay'. At that time, the onscreen chemistry of these two actors was compared to the big stars of Bollywood. Now after years, both of them coming together like this and sharing old memories proves that true art and onscreen relationships never fade with time.
