Zee Telugu is all set to dazzle its audience this Sunday evening with a heartwarming celebration full of drama, music, and star-studded fanfare. The channel’s much-anticipated special episode ‘Padamati Sandhyaragamlo Janaki Puttinaroju Veduka’ will premiere on May 18 at 7 PM, promising a spectacular blend of entertainment and emotion.
The special episode was recently shot in Mahabubnagar and saw an overwhelming response from local fans. Bringing together the popular stars of Zee Telugu’s top-rated serials—’Padamati Sandhyaragam’, ‘Mukkupudaka’, and ‘Chamanthi’—the evening was hosted by the high-spirited anchor Ravi and featured a vibrant mix of live performances and touching audience moments.
The festivities kicked off with a grand welcome for the actors, immediately setting an energetic and festive tone. A particularly touching moment came when a joint family of nearly 50 members arrived to meet the cast of ‘Padamati Sandhyaragam’, underscoring the deep emotional connection between the show and its loyal viewers. Another standout was the heartfelt interaction between a specially abled fan and ‘Chamanthi’ beloved heroine, Meghana Lokesh—a moment that visibly moved everyone present.
True to Zee Telugu’s flair for celebration, the event also delivered on high-voltage entertainment. A powerful dance jugalbandi between Preethi and Soundarya—who play Aadhya and Ramalakshmi in ‘Padamati Sandhyaragam’—left the audience cheering, while a musical face-off between folk sensation Ramu Rathod and melodious Ashika brought a blend of rhythm and soul to the stage.
In addition to the performances, the stars surprised fans with gift hampers, turning the evening into a festive gathering that blended fan love with television glamour.
