Sharad Kelkar, once a dominant figure in TV shows, made a comeback after a long hiatus with the series 'Tum Se Tum Tak'. This show features a romantic storyline between Kelkar, aged 49, and a 20-year-old actress, Niharika Choukse. The narrative dives into the challenges their relationship faces in a societal context, but the show's announcement was met with widespread trolling and criticism, largely due to the significant age difference between the leads.

In response to the backlash, Sharad Kelkar stood firm, stating that the criticism did not affect him. In an interview with Variety India, he reflected on how he feels aligned with the character he plays, appreciating the complexity of relationships that resonate with the struggles of middle-aged individuals. Sharad emphasized that he understands the mindset of people in their 40s and 50s, which allows him to connect deeply with his role and the story's dynamics.

The show's approach to depicting unconventional romantic relationships comes at a time when societal norms about age gaps in relationships are being challenged. By selecting this narrative, the creators aim to spark discussions about love that transcends conventional boundaries, making it a timely addition to contemporary television content.
