Zee Marathi celebrates 25 years by thanking writers, artists, advertisers, partners, and viewers

New Delhi: On its 25th anniversary, Zee Marathi extended gratitude to its writers, creators, artists, musicians, advertisers, partners and viewers. 

In a statement it released celebrating the silver jubilee, the channel wrote, “As we stand on the cusp of our 25th anniversary, we are filled with a profound sense of gratitude and an inspiring vision for the future. Zee Marathi has not just been a channel; it has been a living, breathing tapestry of stories, dreams, and shared moments that have touched the hearts of millions.” 

Extending gratitude to its storytellers, it wrote, “We owe our deepest thanks to the gifted writers who have woven the narratives that have defined our legacy. From groundbreaking shows like ‘Abhalmaya’, which bravely portrayed a woman’s journey through the trials of a broken marriage, to the powerful ‘Shiva’, challenging societal norms of femininity, our writers have created characters and stories that have not only entertained but inspired.”

“To Our Visionary Creators,” Zee Marathi continued, “Our journey would not have been possible without the visionary creators who dared to dream big with us. Together, we took our first pioneering steps with the majestic ‘Jai Malhar’, a mythological epic that captured the grandeur of our heritage. We ventured into the more than 500 homes of Maharashtra with the ‘Home Minister’ and celebrated the indomitable rural spirit with Jau Bai Gavaat. These shows were more than just entertainment; they were milestones that redefined the television landscape.”

Thanking the channel artists, it said, “The heart of Zee Marathi beats with the talent that has graced our screens—actors and artists who have poured their souls into every performance. Their relentless commitment and unwavering support have been the backbone of our success. Together, we have grown, weathered challenges, and celebrated triumphs.”

Praising the musicians, who created songs for the channel, it commented, “We are forever grateful to the lyricists and music directors who have given us songs that are now etched in the collective memory of our audience. Whether it’s the haunting strains of ‘Vadalvaat’, the romantic ballads of ‘Majhiya Priyala Preet Kalena’ or ‘Khulta Kali Khulena’, or the patriotic fervour of the Gaurav Geet that echoes across on Maharashtra Diwas, these songs have transcended time, becoming anthems of love, pride, and identity.”

Thanking the advertisers, it added, “Our advertisers have been more than just business partners—they have been our steadfast supporters, sharing our vision and believing in our bold ventures. With their confidence, we have scaled new heights, embraced innovation, and pushed the boundaries of what is possible. The prestigious Zee Gaurav Puraskaar stands today as a symbol of excellence in Marathi cinema, a testament to the trust and collaboration that have fuelled our journey.”

Towards the end, it also expresses gratefulness to its viewers and wrote, “With shows like ‘Paaru’, ‘Shiva’, ‘Navri Mile Hitlerla’, ‘Tula Shkwin Changla Dhada’, ‘Lakhat Ek Amcha Dada’, and many more stories we intend to amplify our viewers’ voices, reflect their dreams, and stand by them through every chapter of their lives.”
