Archana Chechi inspires people by showing that even if a marriage fails, a woman can still lead a happy and respectful life.
The character attracted me instantly. So, I thought, why not make a comeback with such a bold and beautiful character?" she added.
The actress also mentioned that the new serial will definitely be a great watch for TV serial lovers.
"After seeing the promo highlighting the love between Archana Chechi and her brothers, many people commented that the love would fade soon, and the usual drama would begin. I can confidently say that this serial will not be the typical family drama you usually see. There are no melodramas or mother-in-law vs daughter-in-law fights. It will definitely be a feel-good watching experience," she concluded.

The situation escalated when rumours emerged about Kamal's growing closeness to actress Sarika . Allegations suggested that the relationship with Sarika began even before his divorce from Vani was finalised. Kamal about his first divorce Speaking to Simi Garewal in an old interview, Kamal shared his perspective on the split: 'It wasn't working, at least for me. I won't lie. It went beyond caring; it became harsh and I wanted to be happy. I was fast losing faith in the institution of marriage itself at that time. I always spoke of it loudly, to the shock of people. I said it on the first day I got married that I didn't want to,' he admitted. Shruti Haasan recalls an incident when her younger sister Akshara Haasan beat up a man for her: 'I was more like a verbal assault, and she is more violent' About Kamal's family dynamics Following his separation from Vani, Kamal continued his relationship with Sarika, and the couple reportedly began living together.

The Tamil version dominated with ₹13.35 crore, while the Telugu and Hindi versions added ₹1.5 crore and ₹0.65 crore, respectively. With strong pre-release buzz, fan shows, and widespread curiosity, the Day 1 numbers reflected the power of Kamal Haasan's brand and the expectations surrounding this action-packed entertainer. A sharp drop on day 2 dampens momentum However, Mani Ratnam 's directorial saw a sharp dip on Day 2, collecting ₹7.15 crore—marking a significant 53.87% drop, as per Sacnilk. While Tamil Nadu continued to lead with ₹6.35 crore, the collections in Telugu and Hindi circuits dropped to ₹0.5 crore and ₹0.3 crore, respectively. Despite a festive release window, the decline indicated that the film's content may not have fully resonated with the wider audience, especially in non-Tamil belts. Saturday holds steady, but growth stalls. Saturday brought little improvement, with the film earning ₹7.14 crore—a negligible dip of 0.14% from Friday. The Tamil version contributed ₹6.38 crore, while Telugu and Hindi stayed around ₹0.52 crore and ₹0.24 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live by the Beach at Sunteck's 2/3BHK Homes starts @₹98L+ Sunteck Realty Learn More Undo The stable Saturday performance gave some hope for the weekend, but the film still failed to show the typical upward trend usually expected on weekends, especially with a superstar-led project.
