Sharad Kelkar and Niharika Chouksey explore Delhi's Chandni Chowk ki Galliyan while shooting for Tumm Se Tumm Tak
Sharad Kelkar
), a successful 46-year-old entrepreneur, and Anu (Niharika Chouksey), a 19-year-old girl from a modest background.
Their journey is filled with internal conflicts, external pressures, and the slow unfolding of trust, love, and respect. What makes this story even more compelling is the rich, real-world backdrop it's set in — the ever-bustling, deeply soulful city of New Delhi.
The decision to shoot extensively in Delhi wasn't just for visual appeal — it was a conscious creative choice. From the narrow bylanes of Chandni Chowk to the grandeur of India Gate and the historic charm of Qutub Minar, Delhi added depth and authenticity to the scenes.
The cast and crew didn't just film in the city — they lived it. Amid long shoot days and emotional scenes, Sharad and Niharika also indulged in the capital's iconic street food and explored its cultural gems.
From trying sodas, jalebis, aloo puri and crispy parathas in Paranthe Wali Gali, to taking kulhad chai breaks near Qutub Minar, the tang of chaat and enjoying chilled lassi to beat the summer heat, Delhi's food trail became a shooting highlight in itself and it all became a memorable part of their shoot diaries.

Talking about his experience, Sharad Kelkar shared, 'Shooting in Delhi was an experience I'll always carry with me. Every location, from the chaos of Chandni Chowk to the timeless calm of Qutub Minar, brought its own unique energy to our scenes. I remember shooting near India Gate; there was this moment during an emotional scene where I completely stopped thinking like Sharad I was Aryavardhan. The boundary between the actor and the character just dissolved, and that's something rare.
What made it all the more special was soaking in the local vibe, indulging in ice cream, sipping kulhad chai between takes, enjoying sugarcane juice, and giving in to jalebi cravings. We even shot during peak summer, so chilled lassi and quick sodas became our survival kit! And I have to give credit to my co-star, Niharika — she made a list of places we had to try while in Delhi. So, the whole cast ended up exploring food spots together, which brought all of us closer and made the whole experience feel personal and unforgettable.
Delhi's rhythm is its own — unpredictable, electric, deeply emotional, and I truly believe that rhythm echoes in every frame of Tumm Se Tumm Tak.'
Sharing her excitement, Niharika Chouksey said, 'Shooting for Tumm Se Tumm Tak in Delhi felt like being embraced by a city that breathes stories through every street and corner. I'd been to Delhi before, but this time was different — living and working here gave me a deeper connection.
One of my absolute highlights was exploring Delhi's incredible street food. I'm a complete foodie, and as soon as I knew we'd be shooting in places like Chandni Chowk, I started making a food bucket list.
Parathas at Paranthe Wali Gali, quick sugarcane juice breaks between scenes, spicy chaat, and winding down with ice cream— all of it made shooting here feel so personal and joyful. As Anu, a character who's experiencing life and love with fresh eyes, being in Delhi made everything feel more real, more heartfelt, and far more personal.'
With Delhi's spirit woven seamlessly into the narrative, Tumm Se Tumm Tak brings an authentic and emotionally layered love story to life. It will be interesting for the viewers to watch if Aryavardhan and Anu will be able to overcome the societal norms that stand in their way?

Panchayat polls turn into cultural carnival in US Nagar
Rudrapur: As the three-tier panchayat elections progress in Udham Singh Nagar, campaigns across the district have taken on a festive, culturally vibrant flavour — blending politics with folk beats, traditional rallies, and even celebrity appearances. Earlier this week, former jila panchayat president and Bhangaa seat candidate Renu Gangwar organised a roadshow featuring Haryanvi pop star and dancer Sapna Choudhary, drawing massive crowds on Tuesday. "Such events help connect emotionally with the rural youth and women voters," said a campaign volunteer. In Dopahariya, candidate Gurdas Kalra held a tractor and bullock cart rally, aiming to project a strong pro-farmer image. The procession passed through multiple agricultural hamlets, with supporters joining in large numbers, giving the campaign the feel of a rural fair. Meanwhile, several candidates across blocks like Kuraiya have continued using folk songs, often performed by local artists with lyrics on ploughing, sowing, and irrigation—blended with political slogans to connect with the farming community. Others have turned to traditional performances featuring instruments like the dhol, damaru, and nagara, with supporters dancing in ethnic attire as candidates campaign on foot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo These elements have become a daily fixture on the campaign trail in many rural pockets.
