Over its journey of 2 years, Life OK’s flagship crime docu-drama Savdhaan India has set a strong foothold in crime genre with riveting depiction of real life incidences.

The show which launched in April 2012 went on to complete 1000 episodes on 12th of November.

At the completion of 1000 episodes, the show will undergo an overhaul with a new season Savdhaan India– Fight Back Now.

The show aims to empower its viewers through gripping stories of common people of India who have faced crime and emerged victorious. Fight Back Now is all about the determination of the victims to overcome difficult situations and defeat the criminals.

While Sushant Singh and Pooja Gor will continue hosting the show, two new faces of this season are popular television actors Sidharth Shukla and Shweta Tiwari.

It is a proud moment for us to witness Savdhaan India reach 1000 episodes mark in such a short time span.  At Life OK we have always tried to offer differentiated and meaningful entertainment to our viewers and Savdhan India has been one such endeavour. It aims to motivate a common Indian to be resilient and fight against crime. Through our efforts, we hope to have transformed a few lives and look forward to take this to the next level in our new Season- Fight Back Now.”
