Queen, the new political family drama from Colors, is set to make its television debut on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 8:30 PM. The series will air Monday to Friday on Colors and will also stream on JioHotstar. Shagun Sharma leads the cast as Neeti, a young woman whose priorities change after she becomes entangled with a powerful political household.
What is Queen about?
The story begins in Gwalior, where Neeti’s life is closely tied to her sisters and their future. Her circumstances take a sharp turn when she is drawn into the family of Mahendra Pratap Singh Tomar, an influential Deputy Chief Minister. The marriage arrangement is presented as a way for him to protect his political standing and the family’s public image.
Once Neeti enters the household, she finds herself surrounded by power struggles, hidden interests and expectations that do not necessarily put her needs first. The central conflict follows her decision to stand up for her dignity and protect the future of her sisters.
Queen cast: Shagun Sharma, Zakir Hussain and Shruti Seth
Shagun Sharma plays Neeti. Zakir Hussain appears as Mahendra Pratap Singh Tomar, the ambitious politician at the centre of the family’s power structure. Shruti Seth plays Akshra Tomar, while Kartavya Yadav makes his acting debut as Raaj Tomar.
Shagun has described Neeti as someone who does not begin her journey by seeking power. Instead, the character discovers her own strength as circumstances force her to make difficult choices. Zakir’s description of Mahendra Pratap points to a man deeply concerned with protecting his political influence and public image.
