# Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera (एक वीर की अरदास...वीरा)
**Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera** (एक वीर की अरदास...वीरा), often shortened to **Veera**, is an Indian Hindi-language television soap opera that aired on StarPlus and streams on Hotstar, produced under Yash Patnaik's Beyond Dream Production. The series explores the relationship between a brother and a sister: Ranvijay raises his infant half-sister Veera like his own child, feeding, grooming, and educating her, while their mother Ratan outwardly shows contempt toward Veera but helps her son raise her nonetheless.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6994570/)

## Premise and themes
The story centers on the Sampooran Singh household in Punjab. Ranvijay takes charge of his half-sister Veera from infancy, and the show's own episode descriptions frame it as the journey of a brother who "becomes a mother to his sister," taking care of baby Veera's every need from feeding her to grooming and educating her, and forming with her a bond built on life-changing sacrifices.[2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGiEkRMaC2c) Ratan displays contempt toward Veera on the outside while quietly helping her son raise the girl, a contradiction that threads through the early story.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6994570/)
The series positioned itself against the grain of contemporary family drama. In the show's own promotional framing, it addressed a time "when peers play a more important role than the family," keeping the storyline focused on the sibling relationship.[5](https://disneystar.vizualize.com/newsroom/500-episodes-on-star-plus-veera-claims-story-line-maintained/)
## Production and cast
The show was written by Purnendu Shekhar and Raghuvir Shekhawat and directed by Waseem Sabir, with Yash Patnaik and Mamta Patnaik as producers, multi-camera filming in Punjab, an approximately 24-minute running time, and a 1080i high-definition picture on Star Plus.[4](https://star-plus.fandom.com/wiki/Ek_Veer_Ki_Ardaas...Veera)
