This integration will see Zee TV characters as Dilfluencers adopting AI in new and innovative ways , showing the path to smarter, more confident everyday decisions

Mumbai, 28th August 2026: Across India, some of the most meaningful connections are built through stories. Television fiction is a daily companion, bringing into homes aspirational characters whose dreams, dilemmas and journeys often feel deeply personal. It is this unique relationship between audiences and storytelling that brings ZEE and Google together to introduce fiction-led AI Search integration, bringing Google Search’s AI Mode into the storytelling worlds of Zee TV’s popular fiction show ‘Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan’ among others.

Launched on Independence Day, the collaboration moves beyond conventional product placement, weaving Google Search’s AI Mode organically into the journeys of key characters and making it a natural part of the storytelling experience. Across relatable moments and everyday dilemmas, audiences will experience how Google Search AI Mode can process complex queries and help people easily discover the information they need to make confident decisions.

The collaboration leverages ZEE’s Dilfluencer Moments, a bespoke solution that weaves brand ethos into real and authentic storytelling that travels across screens and formats, leading to community engagement. Built on the belief that audiences connect most deeply with stories, characters and moments they trust, Dilfluencer Moments lets brands become a meaningful part of the narrative itself, originating within Zee TV’s trusted fiction ecosystem and extending across multiple touchpoints. In this collaboration, Google Search’s AI Mode becomes a natural part of those moments, assisting characters as they navigate challenges, explore possibilities and make informed choices in ways that feel authentic to the story.

As part of the collaboration, ZEE and Google have also launched a brand film featuring Amandeep Sidhu who plays the role of ‘Sneha’ from ‘Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan’. Set in a candid behind-the-scenes moment, the film begins with an ordinary conversation between Amandeep and her makeup artist, Aarti played by Rajsi Bhave. When Aarti reveals that she is leaving to pursue her long-held dream of opening her own beauty salon, Amandeep is both surprised and curious. As the conversation unfolds, Aarti shares how she navigated the many questions, uncertainties and decisions involved in starting a business, with a helpful guide by her side: Google Search’s AI Mode. Through a warm, relatable and aspirational exchange, the film demonstrates how AI Mode can understand context, simplify complex situations and help individuals with the information they need

Built around the campaign thought, “Google Search ka Naya AI Mode, Samjhe, Samjhaye aur Raah Dikhaye,” the initiative showcases how Google Search’s AI Mode adds a more conversational layer to the trusted Search experience. While the brand film introduces audiences to the proposition, the storytelling continues across upcoming episodes of ‘Tumm Se Tumm Takk’ and ‘Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan’, where viewers will see AI Mode play a meaningful role at key moments in the characters’ journeys, helping them with their everyday questions and situations, explore possibilities and make informed decisions with greater clarity and confidence. Through the upcoming story arcs, audiences will witness how Google Search’s new AI Mode provides intuitive, contextual assistance, becoming a reliable tool in the characters’ journeys as they navigate aspirations, dilemmas and everyday decisions.
The film culminates with Amandeep breaking the fourth wall and inviting viewers to experience Google Search’s AI Mode for themselves. The film also serves as a gateway to the larger story fiction integration, where audiences will continue to see Google Search AI Mode woven not only into upcoming storylines but also the further narrative across Zee TV’s fiction shows.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Kanika Kalra, Director, Platforms & Ecosystems, Consumer Marketing, India, said: “With the introduction of AI Mode, we are redefining what Search can do for the Indian consumer. This is a fundamental shift toward advanced thinking, reasoning, and personalisation built directly into Search. With Zee as our partner, this is our attempt to bring Google Search’s AI intelligence to the world of Drama.”

Speaking about the partnership, Sandeep Mehrotra, Chief Operating Officer, Advertisement Revenue, ZEEL, said: “Advertisers today are looking for more than visibility; they are looking for meaningful ways to connect with consumers in environments they trust. This collaboration with Google Search AI Mode demonstrates how entertainment can create that connection by integrating brands naturally into stories that audiences are already emotionally invested in. Through Dilfluencer Moments, we have been building new storytelling-led solutions for marketers, and this partnership showcases how even a technology product can be woven seamlessly into a narrative to drive both relevance and engagement at scale.”

Speaking about the announcement film, Kartik Mahadev, CMO, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, said: “The most powerful integrations are those that become part of the story world, moving naturally with its characters. That was our ambition with Google Search in AI Mode, and this first film sets the tone for what’s to come. Launching around Independence Day with our Dilfluencer, Sneha from Zee TV, the story gives the idea of independence a contemporary, everyday meaning, one that can remain relevant well beyond the occasion. At ZEE, our characters and storytelling have the ability to build empathy at scale. Dilfluencer Moments harnesses that influence to go a step further in helping audiences discover new possibilities, build confidence in new behaviours, and turn cultural moments into meaningful adoption.”

By combining the scale of television, the trust of storytelling and the powerful capabilities of Google Search’s AI Mode, ZEE and Google are creating new ways for audiences to discover innovation through stories that feel familiar, relevant and relatable. The collaboration also reinforces the power of entertainment to bridge the gap between new technology and everyday adoption.

The makers of the upcoming film Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha have released ‘Siya Ram’, a soulful track celebrating the timeless bond of Shri Ram and Mata Sita. Released in both Hindi and Chhattisgarhi, the song features Javed Ali as the voice of the Hindi version and Anurag Sharma for the Chhattisgarhi version.

Rooted in love, devotion and faith, ‘Siya Ram’ captures the emotional essence of Shri Ram and Mata Sita’s relationship and brings it alive through melody. With two distinct versions, the song carries the same emotion across Hindi and Chhattisgarhi while allowing each language to retain its own musical identity. The film and its songs have been shot simultaneously in both Hindi and Chhattisgarhi.

Known for his soulful and versatile voice, Javed Ali brings warmth and emotional depth to the Hindi rendition. Speaking about the song, Javed Ali said,

“‘Siya Ram’ is not just a song I have sung; it is a prayer I have felt. Singing the names of Siya and Ram brought a profound sense of surrender and peace that words cannot fully express. It reminded me that devotional music is not about merely lending your voice to the lyrics; it is about giving a part of yourself to them. This experience has deepened my desire to explore devotional music and connect with it at a much more spiritual level.”

For the Chhattisgarhi version, singer Anurag Sharma brings a distinctly regional texture to the composition while retaining the emotion at the heart of the song.

Speaking about his experience of bringing the song to life, Anurag Sharma shared,

“Chhattisgarhi has an inherent softness and humility, which made recording ‘Siya Ram’ feel deeply personal. When you sing a song rooted in faith, the goal isn’t just to hit the right notes, but to carry the weight of those emotions authentically. I wanted every word to reflect the sweetness of our language and the reverence of the narrative. My hope is that whenever people hear this, it instantly brings them a sense of calm and lifts their spirits.”

Composed by Ashish and Dev with lyrics by Jaidev Jonwal, ‘Siya Ram’ is released under Divo Music. The Hindi version is sung by Javed Ali, while Anurag Sharma has lent his voice to the Chhattisgarhi version.

Presented by AJ Film Entertainment World, Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha is A Mahobiya Films Production. Directed by Abhishek Singh and produced by Prakash Mahobiya and Sanjay Bundela, the film stars Dev Sharma, Anjali Arora, Sheel Verma, Rajniesh Duggal and Nirbhay Wadhwa. It is co-produced by Honey Kuldeep Agarwal and Monika Sen.

With ‘Siya Ram’, the makers offer audiences a musical glimpse into the emotion, love and devotion at the heart of Mahakavya Shri Ramayan Katha.

‘Siya Ram’ is streaming in both Hindi and Chhattisgarhi across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iTunes, YouTube Music and Gaana

Goodwill Entertainments has officially released the teaser of its upcoming pan-Indian investigative action thriller Operation Tral, marking the film’s first video glimpse. The teaser has been released in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, offering audiences across languages a brief yet high-impact look into the dangerous mission at the heart of the film.

Frontlined by Jayasurya as an NIA officer, the teaser offers a glimpse into a high-stakes world where investigation and national security converge.

The teaser packs considerable intrigue, introducing the central mystery at the heart of Operation Tral while offering glimpses of its expansive world, tense atmosphere and high-stakes narrative. Rather than revealing too much, the sharply cut visual sets the plot in motion, leaving audiences with questions about the incident, the investigation and what lies behind it.

Inspired by true events, Operation Tral is set against the backdrop of a fatal convoy ambush in Tral, Jammu & Kashmir, and follows a NIA officer tasked with investigating the incident. As the investigation unfolds, the film delves into the complex world of investigative operations, uncovering layers of danger, conspiracy and unanswered questions. The teaser establishes the film as an investigative thriller where the pursuit of truth becomes a mission fraught with risk.

At the centre of this world is Jayasurya, who plays the role of an NIA officer navigating an investigation that takes him deep into the circumstances surrounding the Kashmir convoy attack. The role presents the actor in an intense and action-driven avatar, anchoring a narrative that moves between investigation, intelligence operations and high-stakes action.

The scale of Operation Tral is further reflected in its extensive production, with the film shot across Kerala, Coimbatore, New Delhi, Kulu, Manali, Mussoorie and Ladakh. Designed as a pan-Indian thriller, the film is gearing up for a worldwide release in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi, taking its story of intelligence and investigation to audiences across languages and regions.

Operation Tral also marks the directorial debut of acclaimed music composer Ratheesh Vega, who has taken on multiple creative responsibilities on the project. Along with writing and directing the film, Ratheesh Vega has composed its music and background score, bringing together the film’s narrative and musical worlds.

Jayasurya leads an ensemble cast featuring Murali Sharma, Vinay Rai, Siddique, Sai Kumar, Nandalal Krishnamoorthy, Rithika Singh, Kavya Shetty, Anson Paul and Sirajudheen, alongside Bollywood actors including Vikram Kochhar, Yash Pal Gera, Mir Sarwar, Chandan Bisht, Hansika Jangid, Vaani Dogra, Jai Thakore, Vijay Trivedi and Manhar Singh Trivia.

Produced by Joby George Thadathil under the banner of Goodwill Entertainments, with Sunimol Joby as co-producer, Operation Tral features cinematography by Najose and editing by Shafeeque V.B. Project design is by Noble Jacob, production design by Sajeesh Thamarassery, art direction by Suneesh Sodharan, costumes by Sameera Saneesh and Saritha Jayasurya, and makeup by Ronex Xavier.

With its first video glimpse now out in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, Operation Tral establishes itself as a high-scale investigative action thriller built around a compelling real-world premise. The teaser deliberately offers only a glimpse into the film’s larger narrative, setting up an intense investigation and a world where every clue could lead closer to the truth, and deeper into danger.

Zee TV’s Jagadhatri recently saw a new entry in the show as actress Mishmee Das entered the show as SSP Jahnvee Ganguly, bringing a fresh wave of twists and turns for Jagadhatri (Sonakshi Batra) and Shivaay (Farman Haider). Right after the wedding drama, Jahnvee’s entry has added a new layer of tension to the ongoing storyline. Interestingly, Jahnvee is not a completely new face in Jagadhatri and Shivaay’s life. She has been their batchmate and has now entered their team as their senior, immediately taking charge and putting Jagadhatri aside.

As the story progresses, it has become evident that Jahnvee has a soft corner for Shivaay, while her equation with Jagadhatri has been far from cordial. Her growing closeness with Shivaay has also started making Jagadhatri jealous, hinting at the arrival of a third person in Shivaay and Jagadhatri’s equation. Meanwhile, Jahnvee has also questioned Jagadhatri’s decision to kill Moosa instead of arresting him. She believes that Jagadhatri may have had a personal motive behind the decision and is now determined to understand the real reason behind her actions.

With these equations coming into play, viewers have been witnessing some high-voltage tashan and intense one-on-one scenes between Jagadhatri and Jahnvee. Their contrasting personalities and growing differences have added plenty of drama to the narrative. Now, Sonakshi Batra, who essays the role of Jagadhatri, has opened up about the upcoming twists, her experience of performing these intense scenes with Mishmee Das, and how Jahnvee’s presence is affecting the equation between Shivaay and Jagadhatri.

The actress said, “Jagadhatri and Jahnvee’s face-off is going to bring a lot of intensity, tension and unexpected twists to the story. Both of them are strong, confident women who are not willing to back down, so their one-on-one scenes have a very interesting energy to them. I have really enjoyed performing these scenes with Mishmee Das because there is so much passion and emotion in their equation, and she is a wonderful co-actor to share that intensity with. At the same time, Jagadhatri is slowly beginning to realise her feelings for Shivaay, and seeing Jahnvee’s growing closeness with him is making her jealous, which is a completely new emotion for her. I think Jahnvee’s entry will open up many doors for Shivaay and Jagadhatri and make them confront feelings that they may have been avoiding. There is a lot that is going to unfold through this storyline, and I’m really enjoying exploring this new side of Jagadhatri. I’m sure the audience will have a lot to look forward to as this equation gets more complicated.”

Jahnvee’s entry has certainly become a major turning point in the story, and with the equation between Jagadhatri, Shivaay and Jahnvee getting more complicated, viewers can expect several twists and turns ahead.

Zee TV’s Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, starring Amandeep Sidhu (Sneha) and Sheizaan Khan (Siddhu) in lead roles, has always gone beyond entertainment by bringing socially relevant stories to the forefront. Whether it’s challenging society’s obsession with a male heir, celebrating women who dare to follow their dreams against all odds, or portraying the many shades of female resilience, the show has consistently held up a mirror to realities that deserve to be talked about. Continuing this legacy, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan is now addressing the pressing issue of bullying and ragging through Soni’s (Vaaishnavi Prajapati) college journey. Known for her fearless and spirited personality, Soni’s ordeal highlights how relentless bullying can shatter even the strongest individuals, sensitively portraying the emotional and psychological trauma such experiences can leave behind while delivering a powerful message against ragging.

Vaaishnavi Prajapati, who essays the role of Soni, said , “Reading the script itself was an emotional experience for me. Since most of my studies happened online, I’ve been fortunate enough to have never experienced ragging personally, although I know it’s a reality for many students. While shooting these scenes, I truly felt how serious the issue is and it made me realize how deeply it can affect a person. A little harmless fun among friends is completely different, but ragging that humiliates or traumatizes someone is unacceptable. The sequence where Soni’s clothes get torn was especially difficult to perform because it made me think about how heartbreaking it would be if something like this happened to someone in real life.”

The actress further add s, “I would often wonder why Soni, who has always been portrayed as such a strong girl, wasn’t fighting back. But as I performed those scenes of her silently enduring the bullying, I understood the emotional impact it can have on a person. As an actor, I felt incredibly emotional while shooting this track, but at the same time, I also felt grateful to be a part of a story that sheds light on such an important issue.”

In the upcoming episodes, viewers will witness Shivani, the very student responsible for bullying Soni, cleverly turning the tables on her and making it appear as though Soni was the one who harassed her. As the entire college begins to believe Shivani’s version of events, Soni is left with an impossible choice, call her family to college or face expulsion. With no one else to turn to, Soni reaches out to Sneha for support. Will Sneha and the family stand by Soni and expose the truth, or will Shivani’s manipulations destroy Soni’s future? The answers promise to unfold in an emotionally gripping track.

Zee TV’s Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan has achieved yet another remarkable milestone by completing 300 episodes. Produced by Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta, the show has become a household name ever since its premiere in September 2025. Starring Sheizaan Khan (Siddhu) and Amandeep Sidhu (Sneha) in lead roles, Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan has struck a perfect balance between emotionally engaging family drama and socially relevant storytelling. The show’s phenomenal run on the TRP charts is a reflection of the love it has received from viewers, who have not only embraced its characters but have also passionately voiced their support through social media campaigns like #SnehaKiAwaaz and #BringSneDhuTogether, proving just how deeply the story has resonated with audiences across the country.

Every day on set has been a journey of learning, growth, and gratitude. The immense love that the audience has showered on Sneha and the show is the biggest reward we could have asked for. It’s truly heartening to see the show consistently perform so well on the TRP charts, and that only motivates us to give our best with every episode. A heartfelt thank you to our viewers for believing in our story and standing by us throughout this beautiful journey.”

Sheizaan Khan added, “Completing 300 episodes of Ganga Mai Ki Betiyaan is a proud milestone for our entire team. It’s a testament to the hard work and passion that everyone puts in every single day.

Zee TV’s Vasudha has been one of the most loved shows on television, winning hearts with its relatable, emotional and heart-touching storyline. One of the most cherished aspects of the narrative has been the unwavering bond between Vasudha and Devansh. Through every challenge that has come their way, the two have stood by each other, with Devansh emerging as Vasudha’s strongest pillar of support.

Vasudha has taken a significant step towards fulfilling her dream of becoming an entrepreneur and setting up her own business and Devansh has been there throughout to encourage and stand by her through every hurdle. His constant support, belief in her abilities and unwavering faith make their relationship truly heartwarming to watch. After all, having someone who stands beside you, believes in your dreams and encourages you through every challenge is something every woman hopes to have in her life. Abhishek Sharrma, who essays the role of Devansh, recently opened up about how portraying the character has changed his perspective on what true strength and support really mean.

The actor said, “One of the biggest things I’ve learnt from playing Devansh is that true strength isn’t about always having the solutions, it’s about being there for the people you care about. Devansh has always stood by Vasudha through every challenge, not because he wants to fight her battles for her, but because he wants her to know that she never has to face them alone. I think that’s the kind of support every woman deserves. Personally, this is something I’ve started believing in even more because of Devansh. Whether it’s my mother, my sister, a close friend, or even my life partner, I’ve realised how important it is to simply stand beside the women in your life, support their dreams, respect their choices and remind them that they can always count on you. Sometimes your presence, trust and encouragement can mean more than anything else. I hope through Devansh, viewers also understand that real strength lies in standing beside a woman, believing in her and empowering her to shine in her own way. If every man becomes that pillar of support, it can truly make a meaningful difference in a woman’s life.”

With Vasudha having taken the first step towards building her own business and Devansh continuing to stand firmly by her side, will she be able to turn her dream into reality and emerge as a successful businesswoman despite the challenges ahead?

Zee TV’s Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, starring Sheizaan Khan (Siddhu) and Amandeep Sidhu (Sneha) in lead roles, has always stood apart for celebrating relationships that go beyond the conventional. The show spotlights a bond that Indian television has rarely explored with such warmth and sincerity, the one of female friendships. Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan has carved a niche for itself through the heartfelt friendship between Ganga Mai (Shubhangi Latkar) and Durgawati (Indira Krishna). Despite being complete opposites, the two women have always chosen trust, respect, and unwavering support over misunderstandings, making their bond one of the show’s most loved relationships. Reflecting on the same, Shubhangi Latkar and Indira Krishna reflect on bringing this beautiful portrayal of female friendship to life.

Speaking on this beautiful portrayal of female friendship, Shubhangi Latkar shares, “What I truly love about Ganga Mai and Durgawati’s bond is that they are complete opposites, yet they complement each other beautifully. While Durgawati is fearless, outspoken, and never hesitates to speak her mind, Ganga Mai is calm, innocent and believes in handling every situation with patience and compassion. Television has always celebrated relationships like love and family, but friendships, especially between two women are rarely explored with such depth. Despite having every reason to misunderstand one another, Ganga Mai and Durgawati choose trust over doubt and stand by each other through every challenge. I feel grateful to be part of a story that beautifully celebrates the strength and warmth of female friendship, and I hope audiences continue to cherish this special bond.”

Indira Krishna, adds, “I have always felt that Durgawati is one of the most layered characters when it comes to relationships. While Ganga is innocent and hardworking, Durgawati represents the spirit of today’s woman, fearless, outspoken and unafraid to voice her opinions. What makes her bond with Ganga so special is that, despite their differences, they have always chosen to stand by each other. Durgawati fights for Ganga’s rights as fiercely as she would for her own, and Ganga’s unwavering faith in her makes this friendship truly special. At this stage of Durgawati’s life, this bond has become bigger than many of her other relationships, and that’s the beauty of her character.”

In the upcoming episodes, Ganga Mai and Durgawati finally prove that Durgawati was never the mastermind behind the attempt on Ganga Mai’s life. Realising her mistake, Sneha apologises to Durgawati for doubting her. But will this apology be enough to heal old wounds? Viewers will now witness Sneha’s heartfelt efforts to regain Durgawati’s trust and find a place in her heart once again.

Zee TV’s Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan has carved a special place in viewers’ hearts by going beyond conventional family drama to tell stories that spark conversations and celebrate the indomitable spirit of women. At the heart of this storytelling lies Durgawati, portrayed by the powerhouse performer Indira Krishna, a woman who is unapologetically bold, fiercely opinionated, and unwavering in her principles. Durgawati’s strength doesn’t stem from perfection but from her courage to stand by her convictions, even when they invite criticism or misunderstanding. As one of the show’s most compelling narrative anchors, her journey has continually shaped the emotional fabric of the story, proving that a strong woman can be resilient, compassionate, and morally steadfast all at once.

Speaking about portraying this multifaceted character, Indira Krishna shares, “Durgawati has been one of the most layered and emotionally enriching characters I’ve had the privilege to portray. In many ways, she has also been one of the most challenging and fulfilling roles of my career because she constantly pushes me as an actor to explore strength, vulnerability, and conviction in equal measure. Her journey isn’t just about being strong, it’s about standing by her beliefs even when the world chooses to misunderstand her. What makes her so special is that her story continues to shape the emotional core of the narrative, with every decision creating a ripple effect in the lives of those around her. As an actor, it’s incredibly rewarding to bring to life a woman who is unapologetically fearless, resilient, and complex. I truly believe characters like Durgawati reflect the evolving storytelling on television, where women are no longer confined to stereotypes but are driving narratives with depth and purpose.”

The upcoming episodes mark a deeply emotional turning point in Durgawati’s journey as she finds herself accused of attempting to take Ganga’s (Shubhangi Latkar) life. To make matters worse, the allegations drive a painful wedge between Durgawati and her own son Siddhu (Sheizaan Khan), who begins to question her innocence. As relationships are tested, trust is shattered, and emotions run high, will Durgavati be able to prove her innocence and restore the faith of those she loves or will these allegations change her life forever.
