Shagun is an Indian Hindi-language television series that aired every Monday to Thursdays 2:30pm and later at 2pm on Star Plus from 15 January 2001 to 29 April 2004.[1][2] It is the story of fortune's twists and pitfalls that tear asunder the lives of two cousins tied together by a bond stronger than that of blood : the bond of love.[3]

Overview

[edit]

Shagun is the story of two cousins, Aradhana and Aarti, brought up together and so close to each other that one hardly needs words to convey her thoughts to the other. Aarti is an optimist – she believes that she has what it takes to touch the stars, if she desires. Aradhana, however, considers herself unlucky.
