    Shemaroo MarathiBana’s Diwali gesture for Police and Families

    Mumbai: The festive season is a time of joy and togetherness with family and friends. However, for our police personnel who tirelessly serve and protect our communities, this period often means being away from their own families, ensuring our safety during the festivities.

The channel acknowledged the immense contribution of our police personnel, who work selflessly, often in challenging conditions, to keep our cities safe. The celebration aimed to shine a light on the lives of these unsung heroes, making their festival brighter and memorable.

    Adding to the fervor of this celebration in Bhoiwada Police Station in Parel, Mumbai, the talented actors of Shemaroo MarathiBana’s new show, ‘Sau. Pratap Manasi Supekar,’, Pradeep Ghule, and Tanvee Kiran also joined in to extend their heartfelt Diwali wishes and spread joy. With a commitment to the community and a spirit of celebration, Pradeep and Tanvee interacted with the residents, spreading joy and positivity. It was a moment that brought smiles and a sense of togetherness to the lives of these real-life heroes.

    This visit holds a special place in their hearts as they engaged with the residents of the police quarters in Mumbai, offering their respect and gratitude to the Police Officers who dedicated their lives to ensuring our safety. This event offered a platform for the police officers and their partners to share emotional moments in their lives where they have been pillars of strength for each other, ensuring the smooth flow of the wheel of life. The actors distributed gifts and Diwali Faral (Diwali Delicacy) to the police personnel and their families as a small token of appreciation and a way to light up the festive season for those who work tirelessly to safeguard our communities. The initiative also included a range of activities tailored to provide a memorable Diwali experience.

    Pradeep and Tanvee’s visit reflects the values of ‘Sau. Pratap Manasi Supekar,’ a show that emphasises the importance of support and strong relationships. It’s a beautiful way to start the Diwali festivities and spread the message of unity, love, and joy within the community.
