Starring Jasmeet Kaur as Heer, Syed Raza Ahmed as Nawab, and Sangita Ghosh as Gulaab, Tu Juliet Jatt Di (TJD) is not just a campus romance. It is a story where marriage comes first, college comes later and love arrives last, if at all. Set in Chandigarh Prime University, the show tracks how two opposites are pushed into a majboori ki shaadi, while a mother’s love quietly turns into control. Sangita Ghosh opens up on why Tu Juliet Jatt Di feels real, uncomfortable and deeply emotional for both parents and the younger generation.
Tu Juliet Jatt Di: a love story in reverse, rooted in family
Tu Juliet Jatt Di starts where most love stories end. Nawab, a carefree Jatt who lives on impulse, and Heer, a focused and ambitious girl, are married before they even settle into college life. Their personalities clash at every step. He is spontaneous and untamed. She is disciplined and grounded. Yet fate binds them in a forced marriage that neither asked for. Around them stands Gulaab, Nawab’s mother, who has run her home her way for years and now struggles to accept change. This structure makes TJD feel like a mirror for families who are torn between tradition and transition.
TJD mother Gulaab: love, control and uncomfortable truths
For Sangita Ghosh, Gulaab is not a typical TV mother. She is sharp, emotional and brutally honest. Her love is intense, but it often spills over into control. She believes she knows what is best for her son and wants every part of his life under her watch. That mindset makes perfect sense to her generation. For them, holding on tight meant keeping the family safe. Through Gulaab, Tu Juliet Jatt Di shows how the same love that protects can also suffocate. She is not painted as entirely right or wrong. She is a mother slowly realising that love today looks very different from the love she grew up with. This is where, as Sangita says, “the show holds up a mirror to parents, revealing how love can slip into control.”
Generational clash in Tu Juliet Jatt Di: parents, youth and freedom
TJD uses Nawab and Heer to reflect today’s youth, who crave space, voice and choice. Gulaab represents a generation that equates care with control and sacrifice with authority. When these worlds collide, friction is inevitable. Parents see disobedience. Children see suffocation. Sangita’s Gulaab becomes that emotional bridge, forcing both sides to feel uncomfortable truths. The show doesn’t sermonise. Instead, it lets the interactions, arguments and quiet silences tell you how hard it is for a parent to let go and how hard it is for a young adult to break free without breaking hearts.
Working with Syed Raza Ahmed and Jasmeet Kaur on TJD set
Sangita describes working with Syed Raza Ahmed and Jasmeet Kaur as refreshing and effortless. They are prepared, aware and quick to switch from fun to focus when the camera rolls. She feels an instinctive responsibility to make younger co-actors comfortable, but with them, that comfort comes naturally. Their clarity and sincerity help build real chemistry on screen. That genuine ease between Gulaab, Nawab and Heer makes Tu Juliet Jatt Di feel less like a set and more like a living, breathing household.
Chandigarh, Swaran Ghar memories and building Gulaab
Shooting Tu Juliet Jatt Di in Chandigarh felt like a homecoming for Sangita. She has filmed there before, including for her previous COLORS show Swaran Ghar. The city’s steady, calm vibe helps her sink into character without the noise and rush of a typical outdoor schedule. At the same time, being away from her own daughter adds an emotional undercurrent, which she channels into Gulaab’s attachment to Nawab. That blend of personal feeling and professional craft quietly strengthens TJD.
Why Tu Juliet Jatt Di excites Sangita as an artist
After years of memorable roles, Sangita sees Tu Juliet Jatt Di as a chance to look at the world through younger eyes again. The show doesn’t treat love and family as glossy concepts. Instead, it embraces the mess: arguments, misunderstandings, unsaid expectations and unplanned bonds. For her, that honesty is exciting. It reminds her why she still loves acting. She feels pushed, surprised and renewed as an artist by playing a character whose love is both healing and harmful.
Returning to COLORS with TJD and a character full of fire
Coming back to COLORS with Tu Juliet Jatt Di feels like returning to a channel that has always backed Sangita with trust. After Swaran Ghar, she carried the warmth of that association with her. When Gulaab came to her, it felt like the universe sending her back to a familiar, safe creative space. COLORS gave her room to explore Gulaab’s fire, intensity and flaws. That freedom to take risks and find new shades keeps TJD emotionally rich and layered.
Message to viewers from Sangita Ghosh
Sangita shares that watching the audience react to the early episodes of Tu Juliet Jatt Di has been especially rewarding. As the story opens up, the drama, the humour and the everyday family madness all start to deepen. Gulaab’s journey becomes more interesting with every twist, and playing those shifts has been a joy. She hopes viewers continue to travel with these characters, recognising themselves, their parents, and their children somewhere in this story of marriage, identity and changing definitions of love.
