Aarti Birajdar on Vaidehi’s ₹25,000 Education Battle

On Sun Neo’s Thodi Si Umeed Thoda Sa Aasman, Vaidehi is racing against a very specific clock: she has two days to arrange ₹25,000 so she can continue her education. Actor Aarti Birajdar, who plays Vaidehi, says the storyline pushes the character into jobs she never imagined taking up—including driving an auto.

Speaking about the track, Birajdar explained that the story is less about the money and more about a young woman’s refusal to let her dream slip away. ‘When your dreams are bigger than your difficulties, you find the courage to keep going,’ she said.

Two days, one goal

Vaidehi’s need is urgent. She has to arrange the amount within two days, and the show puts her to work across multiple jobs. Driving an auto is the most visible one, and it matters because it quietly makes a point about work and dignity. The character knows her education is the route to a more secure future, so no job feels too small.

Birajdar sees that as the heart of the story. She said the arc taught her how far someone can go when they have a dream they refuse to give up on. For Vaidehi, the ₹25,000 is a gatekeeper; the real test is whether she can step out of her comfort zone and keep moving when the pressure builds.

The women behind the fiction

The actor also tied Vaidehi’s journey to the real women who drive autos, run small businesses, work odd jobs and take on multiple responsibilities to keep their families afloat. Many are not celebrated for what they do, Birajdar noted, but their effort creates chances for the next generation.

That link is the reason the plot resonates beyond the usual television crisis. It takes a common, often invisible kind of hustle—women doing whatever honest work is available—and places it in a prime-time story. The message is not that one job is heroic and another is ordinary; it is that the steady, daily grind deserves respect too.

What viewers can follow

Fans who want to track Vaidehi’s two-day countdown can catch the next episode on Sun Neo. Here is what the arc is putting in front of viewers:

• Vaidehi’s ₹25,000 deadline and the pressure it creates.
