The special episode was recently shot in Mahabubnagar and saw an overwhelming response from local fans.

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.
