Producer Prateek Sharma on the Challenges and Vision Behind the Kashmir Shoot

Mumbai: The makers of the show Tumm Se Tumm Tak recently filmed a crucial sequence in the breathtaking locales of Kashmir, bringing a key moment in Arya and Anu’s journey to life. Featuring Sharad Kelkar as Arya and Niharika Chouksey as Anu, the on-location shoot adds emotional depth and visual realism to a phase where their relationship undergoes a significant transformation.
At a time when many television productions opt for studio setups and controlled environments, the decision to shoot in real locations reflects a conscious creative choice to retain cinematic authenticity. The Kashmir sequence unfolds at a juncture where emotions, intent and change converge, making it one of the most important chapters in the narrative so far.
Sharad Kelkar said, “From a storytelling and production point of view, this was a decision we were very clear about. Certain moments need to be experienced, not recreated. Shooting in Kashmir added an authenticity and cinematic depth that the story genuinely needed. It’s a call we took consciously, because it serves the narrative in the best possible way.”
Niharika Chouksey said, “What made this sequence even more special for me was knowing how long audiences have been rooting for Anu and Arya. Shooting this in Kashmir felt like the right way to honour that journey. Fans will finally get to see a moment they’ve been waiting for since the start, and I think the location adds a quiet magic to it. It’s emotional, it’s honest, and it truly reflects where the story has reached.”Producer
Prateek Sharma added, “When you decide to mount a sequence of this scale, it’s never about just one scene or one location. There are many moving parts, logistics, schedules, weather, permissions, and the well-being of the entire team. But when the story demands it, you commit fully. This Kashmir sequence was a collective effort, driven by the belief that our audience deserves an experience that feels real and cinematic. It’s our way of giving back to the loyal viewers who have been emotionally invested in Anu and Arya’s journey from the very beginning.”
