About Apollena- Sapno Ki Unchi Udann

Based in Lucknow, Apollena courageously plots her journey to space. In a world where the girls around her are expected to manage kitchens rather than their careers. With her father Girdhar as her only support, she navigates conservative prejudices. Her father is wrongfully implicated in a crime while trying to secure her future, leaving him behind bars. Apollena struggles to keep her dreams alive. The weight of the family crisis, combined with a dip in her academic performance, threatens to crush her spirit. Will she be able to overcome the meteoric challenges? Will she be able to reclaim her place in the stars, or will fate keep her grounded forever?

Aditi Sharma shares her excitement

Talking about her role, Aditi Sharma said, “I am beyond grateful to COLORS for naming a star ‘Apollena’ in honour of our show. It’s an incredibly humbling moment for me. And I can’t think of a better way to symbolize the limitless possibilities that our show represents. It’s not just a tribute to Apollena’s character. But also a celebration of the limitless possibilities that lie ahead when we dare to dream big. Apollena’s character teaches us that no matter how many obstacles life throws at us, we can always rise above and reach for the stars. Through her #KarKeDikhaungi spirit, we learn that the sky is not the limit—our dreams are. I hope that through this show, and with the symbolic star above, we encourage everyone—especially young girls—to reach for the stars, defy limits, and believe that no dream is too far-fetched to achieve.”
