Saloni Gaur, the internet sensation known for her spoofs on actress Kangana Ranaut, is set to star in MX Player’s upcoming youth-orientated show named Campus Diaries along with Harsh Beniwal, Ritvik Sahore, Salonie Patel, Abhinav Sharma and Srishti Ganguli Rindani.
Created by Prem Mistry and Abhishek Yadav, the show is scheduled to go live on MX Player from 7 January 2022.
In a statement, the makers of the series said, “This one is so-not-your-regular-college-drama because it goes beyond the routine masti and dosti plots that quintessential youth dramas portray and tackles relevant yet less discussed issues like ragging, discrimination based on societal bias, one-sided love stories, rampant drug abuse and toxic relationships that mould your personality and ready you to face the real world.”

On what to expect from Campus Diaries, Beniwal said, “It takes more than clearing a few courses to graduate out of college. This is a show about all the non-academic stuff that goes into making your college life memorable. This unusual college story highlights the fun days at the campus but also brings to the fore complications and struggles of life away from home.”
About his experience working in the show, Sahore said, “Shooting for this series made me reminisce about my college days. The script is one of the best I’ve read. The themes we have explored range from love, career, friendship, finding one’s own identity and more through the lives of these five friends studying at Excel University and this is what sets the show apart and compelled me to take this up.”
